"I suppose I could edit the page, delete the image, upload new images and change the price on the page. Is that the way it was designed to be done to add new pages?"
The Approval books were designed to make it easy to publish books and sell stamps. It was never intended that an Approval book would become a "stamp store," with items being replaced by new items when sold. It is expected that a book should remain until it is substantially depleted, and then retired. Although I have never had occasion to do so, I believe that a page can be deleted in the "edit" mode. Whether the system will then permit the addition of new pages, I do not know.

I ask only because I see discussion on how long to leave a book out there before deleting it. I know I did it with my oldest book after 3 months but I put the unsold stamps into the redone book - and some sold. I haven't quite figured why except that maybe books that have say only 20% or less of the original book are just ignored as no one wants to waste time going through pages to see the word "SOLD". Now I have a few on the "3 month cusp" that I changed the prices in first. I don't think I have enough material to recreate a book of 100. I may just try adding to it and see what happens.

Is there a way of deleting pages in a book that are completely sold? If not I think it would be a good idea. I have pages with 1 or 2 items that are completely sold. If I want to add pages I cant (at least i think I can't) because it would exceed the maximum 24. It would be easier to add pages than to delete the book and then redo it and upload it again. I suppose I could edit the page, delete the image, upload new images and change the price on the page. Is that the way it was designed to be done to add new pages?
