The Great Gig Book (Blue Book)

[pdxdjazz]

Does anyone know why the Blue Book skips pages? I've owned it for many years, but never had occasion to ask anyone this before.

The last page is numbered 696, but there are actually only about 400 pages.

There are skips from 166 to 185, 248 to 301, and a number of others.

Cheers,
Jer

On the 2nd title-page (1996 edition) there is some "fine-print":
page area---note that pages are not continuous (so more tunes can be added later)

....best laid plans 'n all...
