Please correct the amount of pages

[Vi ~ Inkvotary]

Dear Librarians,

could you please correct the number of pages of the book "Anima" by Kim Kestner. This book, 978-3-401-60252-3 (this is the correct ISBN - I have the book right here in my hands!) has 480 pages, not the shown 430
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

if you wanna look yourself this is the link to the amazon page of the book and down in the field "Produktinformation" you can read it unter "Gebundene Ausgabe: 480 Seiten" which means nothing else then "hardcover edition: 480 pages".

Thanks a lot

Amazon is not an authoritative source on page counts, except for Kindle editions.

Worldcat has 430 pages for this edition: http://www.worldcat.org/title/anima-s...

What is on the last 50 pages?

ETA The German National Library also has 430 pages for this: https://portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?query=... , but it does say they got the info from the publisher and haven't checked the publication themselves. Is page 480 the last page of the text?

On the last 50 pages is the story (which ends on page 473), one page where the author thanks some people and the rest of the pages show other titles published by Arena (which is quite common in Germany). So the story itself ends on 473.
I have the book here with me because I am reading it, and if you wanna look here, you´ll see that the publisher himself shows those amount of pages for this book:
http://www.arena-verlag.de/artikel/an...

you can read the information in the line in the quarter field on the right side where stands: Seitenzahl - which is the same as "pages".

Publishers' counts usually include all pages, including blank ones. GR page count is different. Everything belonging to the book itself is counted. Not counted are previews and adverts for other books. So the correct page count would be the page number the acknowledgements are on (page 474?).

Ok. Give this book 474 pages, and good is it :-)

best wishes and thanks a lot for correcting this!
