Miniature in Lightroom Book doesn't show my images

Hi

I'm about to create a book in Lightroom C on my Mac Studio M1 64 gb. In the book view I have selected Multi page view. The first 45 pages are shown correct in this view, but then there are blank pages, which only shows the photos when I click on them. If I scroll down the blank pages return. All the frames are shown if I hoover over them, but it's very frustrating to work with.
What can I do to improve this situation, I want to be able to see all the miniatures!

If the thumbnails do eventually appear then perhaps the Previews cache is having problems loading the "minatures". Re-building the Previews data may be of help. PREVIEW CACHE ERRORS

Also there is another similar Forum thread where the book would not display beyond page 39, and (at last post) Importing the Catalog to a new catalog may have solved that problem-

Hi
Sorry I didn't answer before. I tried what you suggested and finally the previews worked as expected. I think the Book section in Lightroom could use a brush up, don't you?

I will defend the Book Module here as I have never had any problems using Book Module. (~20 Blurb books)

If we accept that it is designed for 'Photo' books, and know its limitations, then I think it works well, and I like the convenience of working totally within LrC. I believe that Adobe added the Book module as a 'selling feature' (in Version 4 IIRC) but for 'serious' book makers Adobe would probably like us to use something like Adobe In Design.

The Book Module has quite a few hidden gems that, if found, make it more pleasurable to use.

@Stig Christensen If it was a Previews refresh that solved your problem then it wasn't the Book module itself with the problem, but more with your Catalog data.
