Incorrect Page Count ; "Karl Marx: a Nineteenth-Century Life"

[[deleted user]]

The current record for the hardcover edition of Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life by Jonathan Sperber (ISBN 9780871404671) lists it at 512 pages. By my count, the correct pagination is:

- 13 unnumbered pages at the beginning, including the free end-paper, title / author / publication info pages, dedication, Table of Contents.
- 10 pages for the introduction numbered Roman numerals xii through xx (excepting the unnumbered first page of the intro, which is unnumbered).
- The body of the book spans Arabic numerals 1-560 (with occasional unnumbered pages at the beginning of each section).
- Pages 561 through 648 are the Acknowledgements / Source Collections / Notes / Bibliography / Index.
- 6 unnumbered pages at the end, beginning with the one-page About the Author section through the free end-papers.

Total pagination = 677

Number of pages included in numbered span (the 20 pages implied by the last Roman numeraled page + the 648 pages in the Arabic numeraled section) = 668

Thanks!

I've updated the page count to 648. Introductory material, while important, can't be counted unless it's numbered in the same sequence as the main content.

Understood. Just being thorough. Thanks for being so fast with the correction!
