Re 191/193/194: It can be confusing, but in such cases we would leave it at the page count that corresponds to the last numbered page. We don't want users to have to use arithmetic every time they want to update their page counts.

Ródope Amagapinyes (polylife) | 39 comments Cléopâtre, ASIN B01937BUJU is 200 pages long. It was first published on 1976. Ty!

It is in french, btw.

Amber | 8 comments ***Could a more experienced librarian take a look at #206?

I hopped on Amazon to see if I could verify the information given real quick and came across a situation I'd like to refer to someone more experienced. There are two Kindle editions listed here on GR but only one listed via Amazon and all three have different ASIN numbers. I'd imagine it's a simple combine and correct but, uh, I haven't been a librarian all that long and I'm not comfortable doing so.

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments 206/207 Found following listings on Amazon sites

B01937BUJU - Amazon Canada

B0193818V4 - Amazon France

B00UUXEYGS/9791092297287 - Amazon France

Amazon is the only source for page count when it comes to Kindle editions. Looks like both the editions on GR are listed on Amazon without page count.

Worldcat isn't counting the About The Author page which Goodreads policy says to count.

Edited to add: Please replace current summary with the one from the back cover below. Thank you.

As the wife of a successful Wall Street trader, Leonie Corinth could endure the ruthless power games of the Manhattan elite, but not her husband's heartless betrayal.

Now, left with little but her freedom, she has escaped New York for the breathtaking beauty of the Hudson River Valley -- and unexpected passion.

Sam Nicholson is Leonie's second chance at happiness. He is also a man bound to a secret past...a man haunted by tragedy...a man yearning for a new love just out of reach. A love that could destroy them both. Or one that could last till the end of time...

#230 done before I got here

message 234: by Michael (last edited Mar 04, 2016 09:02AM) (new)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments #229 Can you please re-check the ISBN of your copy? 9781473234033 is not a valid ISBN. Is it possible the ISBN is 9781473214033 instead? Publisher lists it with 416 pages which is close to yours.

#230 Worldcat lists 284 pages for this ISBN. Can you please confirm what's on pages 259-284?

message 240: by Amber (new)

Amber | 8 comments I'm using the app at the moment so I can't link you directly to it but if you look in this group's description you'll see a link to the Librarian Manual. One of the first entries will tell you how to become a GR Librarian and once you're "promoted" you'll be able to edit book entries yourself. It can take a while to be approved sometimes and the consensus is that what you put in the "why I want this" box does make a difference.

Amber | 8 comments #235 - Changed to reference the series as the others do since it doesn't seem like a series has actually been created here on GR yet.

#236 - Done.

#241 - Mateus, that ISBN-13 references a different edition than the linked one (incidentally one we don't have) and Amazon is reporting your ISBN-13 as having 190 pages. The linked one is reported to have 138 pages so could you double check your ISBN-13 for me?

#242 - Done.

Since the number of pages for ebooks can vary for different users based on e-readers they use, we take page count only from publisher for ebooks. Sorry, we cannot use any source other than Amazon for Kindle editions.

Well... it is a manga, which makes very difficult to vary the number of pages (I doubt any e-reader can redesign the panels)... But okay, I understand. Rules are rules! Ty anyway!


message 249: by Michael (new)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments There's this little bit in the librarian manual but I've never done the estimated page count before. Hope someone else takes a look -

Most ebook formats do not have a fixed number of pages since the pagination adjusts for screen size. If the publisher provides a specific page count, that number should be reflected in our book data. For PDF-specific editions, or any other fixed page ebooks, the normal paging rules may be used.

If the publisher does not provide a page number, you may estimate the page count using a tool such as Calibre's Count Pages plugin. Be sure to leave a librarian note that this is an estimate and that the page number should be changed if the publisher releases a specific page count.
