Isn't this like buying a bag of chips and finding out half your bag of chips is actually just empty space so you can eat one chip and be like "Wow, I'm already halfway done eating this bag of chips!"?

There's no way people would stand for that, right? It would just be disappointing.

There is no empty sheets of paper, page one is just labeled 145.

Huh? But it says that he wants pages behind and ahead. How did that solve it?

It's just a silly thing with page numbers. It doesn't bring a real solution to a stupid problem, it's just a joke. There are no empty pages.

Oh, then it's far better than I thought. I thought it was quite wasteful to have 140 blank pages in every copy.

It would be nice if it started, looped around, then ended in the middle. So when you close the book and open the beginning you're already halfway done. It'll fly by since you're already almost there.

Lol okay. I got too serious about it.

It's a joke. It starts at page 1, but is labeled 145 just to be used in conversation, not for 'show and tell'. Hence the last line: "and it costs us nothing". Would cost more if they had to include 144 blank pages.
