Please add page count of 351 for Cuba Diaries https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...9780553815320
Thank you
#205: Page count for the book with ISBN 090038445X is already set to 48 pages. [Your book link points to an edition with a different ISBN.]
ISBN 9780723267768, The Tale of Jeremy Fisher, with the same green cover as shown for that ISBN, has 57 pages, not 10. Thank you.
#212: Set to 57 pages (WorldCat says 56 pages—close enough).
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...ISBN10: 1583224890
140 pages (I have a copy.)

#219 There were a couple of bad cover changes which I reverted, revealing your book. (I created ACEs for the others)
I have queued the now duplicate edition for deletion.
Both the LoC and Worldcat agree with you on the page count however this edition has had its page count changed to 393 by a user -- what is after that page?

Yes, that confused me because two editions said 2002, though one is a more recent reprint.
The last numbered page in ISBN: 0375714499 is 412 but post-393 there is an index, which would explain why the user changed the ACE with the same ISBN to 393. I don't know what Goodreads' policy is on indices... Either way, the page count isn't 480! But I think that's the edition that you queued for deletion?
#219/220/223 The only things not included according to policy are ads, previews and introductory pages numbered with roman numerals (see GR Page Count Policy). Updated to 412. Thank you!I should have cleared this up before, but your edition is this one (it used to have the black cover): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
As you surmised, the edition with 480 pages is now

Yes, I realised and quickly switched to that edition. This turned out to be more complicated than I expected. Thank you for your time and effort.
#226 Done, Bookdepositoory agrees. Also added a better quality cover.
#228 it is already 60 pages and has been so since its creation as far as I can see.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...Page count is correct ... but would somebody, please, replace the tells you nothing summary currently displayed with the one shown when clicking the Amazon button. Thank you very much!
#231 title fixed. worldcat also has 236. What's on page 237?
David wrote: "#231 title fixed. worldcat also has 236. What's on page 237?"The last page of the index.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...Page count is correct but could you please replace the current 3 word summary with the one from the book below.
The invincible ninth Roman Legion marches from York to fight the Northern tribes, and then vanishes from the pages of history. When Verity Grey goes looking for them, she may find more than she bargained for.
Archaeologist Verity Grey has been drawn to the dark legends of the Scottish Borderlands in search of the truth buried in a rocky field by the sea.
Her eccentric boss has spent his whole life searching for the resting place of the lost Ninth Roman Legion and is convinced he's finally found it - not because of any scientific evidence, but because a local boy has "seen" a Roman soldier walking in the fields, a ghostly sentinel who guards the bodies of his long-dead comrades.
Here on the windswept shores, Verity may find the answer to one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time. Or she may uncover secrets someone buried for a reason.
A modern gothic historical fiction with elements of mystery, ghosts, and romance from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Susanna Kearsley.

416 pages - book in hand (if worldcat disagrees then they are likely counting the preview pages of next book by this author.)
Also, please correct the book title - the word "To" is missing.
Summary below taken from book if that could be added too.
The true story of a brilliant seventeen-year-old boy accused of murdering his entire family in cold blood.
#244 415 pages on worldcat, close enough. Worldcat doesn't count preview pages, in fact, their guidelines are very close to ours. I also did the rest of the changes.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...Page count is correct but title isn't. The word "A" is missing.
Please fix. Thank you.
Edited to add: Just noticed the word "stranger" is spelled strager in the summary. Please fix also. It is the last word in the summary.
