Dermont, I understand what your saying and do agree to a point. Page 578 is the page on the pdf, however the pdf's were not split up due to size constraints. The actual book, hard back edition, is broken into 5 volumes, so that is why the CD version is in 5 CD's, you could get them one one CD or they could have combined them into one pdf but they chose to stick with the format of the hard back book to generate the pdf's for the CD version. What is confusing to me is why they didn't renumber each Volume in the hard back version. That is what I was confused about. I guess the main question is what am I sourcing, the pdf of the volume of the book or the actual volume of the book. Based on the source writer options, I thought soucing the actual item I held in my possesion was correct thus the CD pdf. But the pdf is just a scanned version of the actual pages in the book. I may have just made it more confusing but I'm not sure the best way to source it.
