It sounds frustrating to find that your notebook's labeling doesn't match the actual number of leaves or pages. The discrepancy might be due to a few reasons:
-
Mislabeling: Sometimes notebooks are incorrectly labeled by manufacturers. Itβs possible that they meant either "40 leaves" (which means 80 pages, with each leaf having 2 pages) or there was simply an error.
-
Counting Method: Make sure you're counting correctly. Leaves refer to a sheet of paper, which has two pages (front and back). If you counted each page instead of each leaf, that might account for the difference.
-
Extra Pages: Some notebooks come with additional pages, such as blank pages at the end or promotional pages, which might not have been considered in the labeling.
-
Production Variability: Sometimes, variations in manufacturing can lead to slight differences in the number of pages or leaves.
If it bothers you, consider reaching out to the manufacturer or store where you bought it. They might offer a replacement or explanation.
