5B9. Leaves or pages of plates
Give the number of leaves or pages of plates at the end of the sequence(s) of pagination or foliation, whether the plates are found together or distributed throughout the publication. Give the number even when there is only one plate. Count a double plate (a plate folded at the inner margin) as two leaves. Count unnumbered leaves or pages of plates without regard for the terms used to describe the rest of the publication (accordingly, leaves of plates may follow sequences of pages and pages of plates may follow sequences of leaves). Example
When a volume contains a mixture of unnumbered leaves and pages of plates, give the number either in terms of leaves or of pages.
Treat tables printed on leaves that are not an integral part of any gathering as leaves or pages of plates.
Do not treat any illustrated title page (including an engraved title page) as a plate (cf. 5C1 ).
