several ways - if they are all at the end click on the book looking icon in the top bar and move the number of pages slider to the left to the number you want - the extras will be deleted - or you can select a page to remove and click on the page with the "+" on it and elect remove page


The Help menu is a great place to check for help



Add, remove, and reorder book pages

You can add, delete, or reorder book pages. You can insert new pages anywhere in a book, except between the outside cover page and the inside cover.

Note: A book must have an even number of pages. If changing the number of pages creates an odd number of pages, Photos automatically adds or deletes a blank page to keep the page count at an even number.

  1. Click Projects in the toolbar, then double-click the book.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Add a page: Select the page you want the new page to follow, then click User uploaded file in the toolbar and choose Add Page.User uploaded file
    • Set the exact number of pages in a book: Click the Book Settings button User uploaded file in the toolbar and drag the Number of Pages slider.User uploaded file
    • Delete a page from a book: Click the page to select it and press Delete, or click User uploaded file in the toolbar, choose Remove Page, then click Continue. You can also Control-click the page, choose Remove Page, then click Continue.
    • Move a page in a book: Position the pointer over a page number until the page button appears, then drag the page button to move the page to a new location. You can also select a page and then drag the page button.User uploaded file

How do I add text to the cover photo and can I position it (at bottom right) for instance?

Click on the cover page and there should be a text box that you can enter your cover text in. As to the text's location on the cover, that would be dependent on the theme that you use.

Click on the Options button below the cover and you can change the layout and possibly (depending on the theme being used) the location of the text box.

Is this doable?

No, not with Photos. You would have to export a copy of the cover photo original file to the Desktop and use a 3rd party editor to add the text to the image. Then import the new file and use it for the cover.
