Jessica (darachreads) | 3 comments Hi Carrie! I'm uncertain as to why your book is different but my book as the same exact ISBN and mine ends on page 498, not 434. These are pictures of my ISBN, the last page with the last line and the number, and the acknowledgements on the next page. Does your book end like this only on page 434?

Idk, I just don't think it's fair to change it without some kind of group agreement that theirs end on 434 as well and has the same ISBN.

Jessica (darachreads) | 3 comments Also, this is what page 434 looks like in my book:

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I've reverted it to 498 until this is settled, if anyone knows how to settle it. :-)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Worldcat gives 498 mostly (7 records), and one with 463. My inclination is to stick with 498, but put a note at the top? Rivka might have something gospel to say :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Well, judging by Worldcat, the ISBN was reprinted with less (numbered?) pages... :)

Possible, but usually that entails a new ISBN from large houses like this...

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6327 comments What does the publisher website give as the page numbering for that isbn? Is this the publisher page http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titl... ? (Little, Brown and Company is part of the Hatchette Group). If so, that says 544 pages.

Of course, those 544 pages may include fore/afterwords or extra material goodreads doesn't include in page numbering.

Yeah, this whole book start to finish is 544 including acknowledgements and epilogue, and the pages at the beginning.

It was initially changed to 498 in 2008. Let's stick with that.

We do not count unnumbered pages at the beginning in page counts on Goodreads.

That ISBN is already listed with 434 pages: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Doesn't tell us anything about how many pages other editions (with other ISBNs) have, though.
