I'm holding this book in my hot, little hands and there are a couple problems. First in the description - the main character's name is Robert Arthur, not Robert Ashton. Also, there are 175 pages, not 160. Can someone fix that, please? *twitch* Sorry, a bit OCD about my books ... :-)

Hi Katy, someone has made the updates you requested already. I just looked on the publisher's site though and it is listed as 160 pages. I'm not disputing that your copy has 175, I just wanted to verify it has the same ISBN (978-1-59474-591-1)Publisher page for this ISBN:

Thanks, yes, I verified the ISBN before I made the request and that is the correct ISBN13 (and the ISBN matches with the book page as well). It is possible the publisher is only counting the story pages, but with the excerpt, acknowledgement, and author bio pages, the total page count is 175. I appreciate your attention to detail!
It never hurts to double check ;) Thanks for your attention to detail as well!

The actual last page of "Professor Gargoyle" is Pg. 168. So in this case you would consider the book to have 168 pages? This would not take into account the bio page, which is the very last page.

Thanks - the original count of 160 was still wrong *wink* Hehe. Thanks!
