The page count for this edition of this book is 205 pages, if you want to add it.

Page numbering requests require an ISBN, even when linking to the book page. Can you provide this, please?Amazon claims a page count of 208; can you confirm whether anything is printed after page 205?
Sorry. When I put the link in it was showing the ISBN. My copy is old enough to be an ISBN-10 - 0-00-653114-8.The only thing printed after page 205 is an order form for other books by Agatha Christie on the back of the page.
It's a bit of an odd one, though, as my copy with ISBN 0-00-653114-8 claims to have been published in 1999 (although still by Harper Collins), and actually has a different cover to the one showing up when I type in the ISBN manually.

Thanks, your confirmation sets it at 205 pages: done.

Trish, I see you added the additional information and cover images to your earlier response after its initial post. In response:
The publication date (2006) for this edition (Come, Tell Me How You Live) appears to come from Amazon, and is frankly a bit dubious.
WorldCat does not list an edition published in 2006—but does list several editions published by Harper Collins in 1999, all of which show the cover image currently associated with the GR book page in question, but differing from yours. [For reference, the WorldCat entry for the specific edition: http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=0006... .]
➤ Can a librarian with more authority please weigh in on how to handle this?
■ Do we move the ISBN to a new (1999) edition, retaining the existing cover (per WorldCat), and create an ACE (1999) using the cover image provided in post #3?
■ What happens to the (dubious) 2006 edition?

Keep the current (2006) edition as it is. That is can't be found online is no evidence it did exist.
Create a new alternate cover edition for the cover in this post.
Isbn's should never be moved.
Apologies. I didn't realise what a can of worms I was opening up with this one. If it's any help to you, this is the frontspiece publishing details for the edition I have:

Thank you, Arenda; will do.

Thanks, Trish, for the additional information—and no apology needed: this is the kind of discrepancy we need to sort out to improve cataloguing accuracy.
Here, finally, your edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... .
Perfect. Thank you for your help.
