Mary | 6 comments Hello, my copy of WinterSong has 436 pages and a different ISBN: 978-1-250-07921-3.

I have confirmed this at Barnes and Nobles.

The Hardcover listed on Goodreads has more pages and a different ISBN.

Am I allowed to change this?

Thank you.

Codex | 3400 comments The GR hardcover edition (Wintersong) has the same ISBN that you indicated.

WorldCat specifies a page count of 432 for this edition; what is printed on pages 433–436?

Perhaps I'm not seeing this right, but please correct me if I'm wrong. If I search WinterSong and click on it, the edition for the hardcover specifies 448 pages and the ISBN is 1250079217 (then the same one I listed above)

Thank you.

The ISBN is specified as both 10-digit (1250079217) and 13-digit (9781250079213) versions; these are equivalent and represent the same ISBN.

The page count of 448 originates from Amazon, which is usually not very accurate. WorldCat is considered much more accurate, so unless you can indicate that we need to include pages 433 to 436, we’ll set the page count to 432. ➤ Appreciate if you could confirm.

Alright, that makes sense. Thank you. I'd set it to 436 pages. Thank you again!! ^^

We still need you to indicate what is printed on pages 433–436, please. :-)

Of course! On page 433 starts Ludwig Van Beethoven, the Immortal Beloved Letters. Nothing is on page 434. On pages 435-436 is a letter.

Sorry if that wasn't what you were asking for. If it was, thank you!


Mary | 6 comments It is still part of the story.

Codex | 3400 comments Page count set to 436 based on your book-in-hand confirmation.

The cover of Wintersong says this is a novel, so is Ludwig Van Beethoven an extra short story, or a preview of another book? It does not seem to have anything to do with the fantasy novel.

Or is it just used as an extended quotation?

No, the book has a letter written by the heroine herself so it's part of the novel. The Beethoven letter is really just a title for the letter she writes later on. Sorry for the late reply.

And thank you, that's the correct amount of pages for this book.
