Those are an unfortunate result of a basic design decision I made: every 
chapter starts with a double-page spread. That means that if the previous 
chapter ends on an even-numbered page, there is a blank odd-numbered page 
to complete the pair before you go to the next spread where the chapter 
starts.

(All of Pagan Publishing's books are laid out this same way, in fact. I'm 
a creature of habit.)

I try to avoid them in layout, but it gets tricky. What this most likely 
means is more use of freaky photographs as free filler, which I presume 
are moderately more interesting than blank space. But I don't like just 
using them willy-nilly in the text, since I don't mean them as 
replacements for illustrations...it's all very stupid and anal-retentive, 
I fear. Designomancy or something.
