how to prevent empty pages in a book? (part xxviii)

[Art Campbell]

"Next Available Page" isn't the only setting to check in the book.
Make sure that you aren't requiring that chapters open on Right pages --
that's the most common setting and it'll force the preceding chapter to add
a page so the current chapter hits the Right page.
