Worldcat has 628. What is the last page you are counting? (Note we don't include things like previews of upcoming books, ads, etc.)

I guess edition pub date and original pub date got mixed. Can somebody fix it?

Publication date for this edition is 08 Dec 2011.
Original publication date is 1976.

Publishers use approximations based on the estimated number of sheets needed to print the book (one sheet usually eaquals 8 pages). Worldcat uses an exact count of the last number page of text (usually, but errors due occur). Therefore, Worldcat is preferred over the publisher.

Good to know. Though it seems a weird policy but ok. What I mean is worldcat is just a data base that gathers bunch of info for all the books, so mistakes can be expected. On the other hand publishers should have correct info of how many pages their own books have. But ok. And thanks for the fix.
