Jonathan Hoyle (jonhoyle) | 750 comments First off, my apologies, I did not see the remark about using another thread. I guess my page doesn’t auto-update, since I saw my requests back-to-back without the intervening comment that I should use another thread. Sorry, I was not ignoring the request, I just did not show on my page. I will remember for next time.

So here they are:

BOOK: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
PAGES: 224 (see Amazon entry for ISBN 0195070682: https://www.amazon.com/Counterexample...)

PAGES: 368 (see Amazon entry for ISBN 0828102813: https://www.amazon.com/American-Revol...)

PAGES: 176 (see Amazon entry for ISBN 0753817292: http://www.amazon.in/Hidden-Life-Dogs...)

Alex | 2736 comments 1, 2 Done, Worldcat agrees.

3 - Amazon is not considered a very reliable source for page counts, except for Kindle editions. Worldcat, which matches Goodread's page count policy much more closely, puts this book at 148 pages.
If you own this book, could I please trouble you to check what's after pg 148?

Jonathan Hoyle (jonhoyle) | 750 comments Hi Alex, I do not any longer, as I had taken it out from the library. But I would agree with your assessment that we should default to WorldCat when they two disagree.

Alex | 2736 comments #3 Used 148. Worldcat says there are 21 pages in roman numerals (not counted according to GR policy), which probably account for the difference. Thanks for reporting!
