Lost Master Pages

I gave a co-worker a book that has left, right, and blank master pages. I was looking at her reproduction of my book and noticed that she only has a right page master page. Is there some way that the left and blank master pages would get lost or deleted...something she may have done?  Deleted them maybe?

    The page applied when you choose Format > Page Layout > None is built in and not something that can be deleted. If you go to Format > Page Layout > Pagination and choose Single Sided, you will no longer have a Left master page. But any other custom master pages should still be there. You actually can't delete Right and Left master pages. You can only delete custom master pages.

    Yeah, yesterday, I went to Format > Page Layout > MasterPage Usage and discovered that her book master pages were set to Right. She insisted that I gave her the book with Right master page, only, but I checked all of my books for the last two years and all have Right/Left, which, as you said, cannot be deleted.
