In some books, why do they have blank pages at the very end?
To write the review
For us to have something to stare at while reflecting about the book. Hehe. Kidding.
Something to do with the binding. (Although some of them have like five pages!)
Just to torture us!
Sometimes for your own thoughts ☺
There have to be an even number of pages on both “sides” (has to do with the printing and binding process). So sometimes there are several blank ones at the end.
Believe it or not, most printers still use aluminum plates with 16 pages per plate. And the automated binding process uses all the pages produced.
When my novel was printed, I could not believe the printers were still using metal plates . . .
Beats me, but I use it for notes.
To say that the last written page you’ve read is indeed the end of the story, nothing follows.
Because when books are bound, they don’t bind them one page at a time. They bind books in “signatures”, which consist of several pages, and the signatures are then bound together To make the book. Blank pages usually indicate the size of the signature was not exactly even with the total number of pages in a book. I recommend YouTubing videos about bookbinding if you’d like to learn more.
And this is the factual answer; the others are fantastical, but interesting.
I just suffered a small rage attack over the people who write in their books lmao!
