Maybe to avoid all the page numbering after that being shifted?

Maybe a play on "This page intentionally left blank" from the IBM manuals

[-] lud@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

This is in no way unique to IBM manuals.

The phrase is present in loads of books and in some cases has been for quite a few years.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

That would make sense. It's a playful book with many jokes in it

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

It's the very first page and the second one is page 2

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

So then it would affect literally all the pages in the book, if it were removed!?!:-P

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Well, it's not uncommon to leave the first page blank or with some generic stuff. Someone else already pointed out that it might be an inside joke
