And in spite of your librarian note, someone's gone and changed the cover again! Flagged and reverted the change.

lethe | 16359 comments #102: Both KB and Worldcat have 27 pages. What is on page 28-32?

#103 Worldcat has 464 pages, that is a big difference. What is on the last 48 pages?
Sorry, phrased that incorrectly. Are there any pages after 416 and if so, what do they contain?

Jurgen (jmctimmermans) | 173 comments #103: This was information from the publisher's website: here. I'll go and check this.

The book doesn't even have 416 pages. The main story has 389 pages, there is a so-called 'bonus story' of 14 pages (which aren't numbered) so in total: 403 pages. (I could make that 410 pages including the last blank ones.)

#102: I had to check this too: list of contents (29), colophon (31) and other works (32).

lethe | 16359 comments #102: changed to 31 pages (list of other works is not counted).

#103: added 403 pages (blank pages at the end are not counted).

Thank you!

(Edit: libraries' page counts are usually more accurate than publishers'. Publishers tend to count the blank pages as well, which GR doesn't.)
