Alright, and while it is wrong to have a sense of satisfaction from this occurance, here it goes.
For the last few weeks I have been asking my boss if I can put the page numbers in the table of contents. He replies "No, not yet, you do it last" (see note below). So after a few weeks of this, I create "PDF final v.37" and give it to him (I really have no idea whether it is going to print or review number 9). He sets me to work on the next book and I come back to him and indicate I had created the frame for the table of contents in volume 2, but had not added page numbers.
"No, no, you do the page numbers last. I learned this from Volume 1."
"Yes, speaking of which, when exactly would you like me to put the page numbers into the table of contents of Volume 1?"
*stunned silence* followed by *look of shock* and then...
"Yes please, do that now. I'll contact the printer."

Typically, when a book is produced properly, once all of the pages are created, it is normally okay to put the page numbers in prior to final review. In fact, it is usually good to have them checked over at the time of final review.
