worldcat has 111 pages, can you confirm what's page 112-128 about?
fRee wrote: "worldcat has 111 pages, can you confirm what's page 112-128 about?"as per my copy, page 1 is the 1st page of chapter 1, page 111 is the last page of chapter 18. the other pages (before & after) contain title page, appreciations, author's dedication,publisher's notes (i.e. isbn, printing history), ads for other books from the publisher.
We do not count the 'before' pages, nor ads for other books. What is the number of the last page belonging to the book itself?
lethe wrote: "We do not count the 'before' pages, nor ads for other books. What is the number of the last page belonging to the book itself?"the last page of the last chapter (chapter 18) is 111.
i'm new to this & just going off of what the website i linked said re: the # of pages. do we have a rule/guide book for this?

What this amounts to is that ads and previews of other books are not counted, but f.e. bibliography, index, readers' guide, etc. are (if in the back of the book). Anything to do with the book itself, but not introductory pages, either unnumbered or in Roman numerals.
Amazon is not an authoritative source for page counts (except for Kindle editions). WorldCat is generally more reliable.
I take it after page 111 there are only ads for other books, the other things you mentioned were at the beginning of the book?

Hi Hekj666Woldcat says 228 for 9788380492431. Can you check if previews are included in your count?

Unfortunately i have an ebook edition.
Most polish bookstores and publisher's webpage says 232. Although some say that it's 224.
If you think you source is more reliable then I'd go with it.

thanks ;)"
Page count set to 490 (from WorldCat).
(If you have the actual book on hand and can confirm that pages 491 & 492 contain actual text that is part of the work written by the author, then we can amend that.)

Dear Librarians,could you please correct the page number for this title?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It says at GR 352, which is wrong, because the actual story is told over 381 pages.
Thanks

The WorldCat entry for the GR book you are pointing to (ISBN: 9783841422415) agrees that the page count is 352. If you have the book in hand (same ISBN), could you please provide further information about the extra pages?

Yes, I have the book at hand. As a matter of fact I am one of the lucky few who is allowed to read it before its actually publishing date. I have the original in my hands, the same that will be sold in stores, and as I said before, the story goes over the entire 381 pages. Not only 352. The story is 381 pages long. There are two more pages, but they don´t count because the authors says thank you on them.
