I saw the post. I also see on the GR listing Midnight Soul paperback edition is 525 pages : Midnight Soul. Why do I still need to get the Ebook verified if GR has the paperback listed as 525 pages? (I'm asking because I haven't had to have any other paperback verified. Ebooks, yes, but not books listed on GR with a paperback page number.)
Christi, the paperback did not have a page count at the time the moderator checked it...so she posted that you needed to have the ebook verified (post #89, January 1 @2:18p). Later (January 1 @9:03p), I added the page count and notified you that you could repost (post #95). I included the moderator in my message so she would know that it was OK for you do repost without getting the ebook verified.If you want the book to count, you will need to repost as the moderators do not go back to prior posts once they have viewed it.

My message: You must have it approved for length in Ebook page verification in General Help or if possible have the paperback's page numbers added by a GR librarian.
Bea was being helpful and did it for you.
It isn't always possible to find the print edition pages, if that happens you would need get ebook verification.

Task 5.5 The Sign of Four
If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists.
>If there are multiple editions in a format:
From the editions page (click all editions on the main book page)
Set the Format, beginning with Mass Market Paperback
Set the Sort By as "num ratings"
Use the top edition result to determine the page number for ebooks and audiobooks
If there are no editions in MMPB, reset with Paperback and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no paperback editions, reset with Hardcover and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no print editions the ebook or audiobook may not be used for a task requiring a page number
> If the sort results in a Large Type edition at the top omit that book and move to the next record or format.
> If the sort results in an edition in a language other than English the edition SHOULD be used to establish length.
The top MMP is Il segno dei quattro with 98 pages.
That book does not work for task 5.5, but if it fits another task,
"One book between 80 -99 pages may be used for ONE 5 point task."

I've picked it up for a total of 3.
OK Thanks, I probably assumed if it was not yet updated up to that post it was safe to edit, I won't do that anymore, I will repost.
I should only have 1 Big book ticket. I read an e-book and made an error in editions and posting. I edited it very shortly after, but you must have beat me to it.
