The bug
If you scroll to a blank page of a book and quill, the book will permanently be modified to contain that many pages, even if you don't write anything.
How to reproduce
Get a book and quill from the creative inventory
Open it and press "next" a bunch of times, to page 20 or so
Close the book and reopen it
→ ❌ Total number of pages is 20, even though you didn't type anything
Update
In 1.12.0.11, the last two blank pages are deleted.

To clarify:
mods do not confirm their own reports (you can check the history tab to see who did)
"confirmed" does not mean the behavior is officially unintended, it just means someone was able to reproduce the behavior as described
On Windows it deletes the last 3 pages (although functionally this makes no difference than 2), on Android it deletes the last 2.
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Working as Intended.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.

if you tap the pencil icon at the bottom of the page, a few options should appear, one of them being a trash can that deletes a selected page. is this not working?
