Lanelle - Please clarify what you mean by "use either number."

Thank you, Nell. I need to think of a better way to phrase it.
For 10, you can use '1' or '0' or 10.
For 11, you can use '1' or 11.
For 12, you can use '1' or '2' or 12.

Thanks for asking, Nell, and thanks for replying Lanelle.
Okay. I've changed my five to one. I wasn't sure. I got mixed up with the "both" --both ten and eleven only have the option of using one (or the full 10 or 11, which is quite awkward). (Zero would be quite worthless except for page numbers.)
Mod
Zeros would also work for books published in a 'zero' year: 2010, 2000, 1990 and so on.
Connie, I think you're the first to get a high number. Thanks for helping us work out the details :)

You were prolific, Meg! I didn't find that many that fit.
Update to message 2: Finished with 20 books, but then 2 is pretty easy ;)
