Hugh (bodachliath) | 50 comments I wouldn't normally bother with a correction but this one is quite a significant discrepancy which I only noticed when adding a status update.

ISBN: 9780571258130
Sarah Hall, The Wolf Border, Faber paperback
WorldCat has 435 pages, which looks correct (this counts 3 pages of the author's acknowledgements and disclaimer which appear immediately after the text, but not the blank pages and adverts for other books).

Arenda | 26447 comments The existing page count was added pre-publication. I've changed it to 435 according to your book and Worldcat.

(There are two different pages for isbn 9780571258130 on Worldcat, using the isbn in the search gave a page without isbn.
Here is the Worldcat link with isbn: http://www.worldcat.org/title/wolf-bo...)

The author's acknowledgements and disclaimer should be included in the page count, adverts for other books shouldn't, so 435 would be correct.

Hugh (bodachliath) | 50 comments Thanks for that - it is always useful to know what we should count as a page. I found both of the WorldCat records, as you say the ISBN takes you to one with no page count.
