That may be perfectly correct, by accident. Ibid is right for
consecutive references to the same book...but it *may* also be
used for the same book but a different page. If the references
happen by chance all to be to the same page anyway, then the
page is omitted for the 2nd and subsequent uses. Ibid is still
correct in these cases.

Sounds OK to me. But this would be the choice of the publisher, not
the author.

Idem is only used for references to the same author...the book title
varies. I believe this is true for all countries and cultures but I
have no experience to support this. The HUMANIST mailing list would
know.
