David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments I had to check which cover I have of this one :)

Publication date/page count all the same?

Steve Best | 341 comments Ah forgot page count. My copy the novel ends on page 432. There is an additional unnumbered 16 pages of the two authors previous novels, a few blurbs and blank pages. Goodreads, Amazon and ISFDB do have the book as 448 pages but I don't usually count these personally.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments Here are our guidelines: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

So we include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.

Seems like previous novels will not be counted, so would you say 432?

Steve Best | 341 comments ok. The novel ends on page 434. Last page unnumbered.
There is one unnumbered page of acknowledgments. (435)
Seven unnumbered pages of the two authors previous works in a list format.
Two unnumbered blank pages.
Four unnumbered pages with blurbs of the previous 4 books in this series.

I'll leave that up to you to sort out!

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments Too difficult to decide and not worth the fuss ... I'll revert to 448 and if some other librarian disagrees they will fix it.

Arenda | 26447 comments Changed page count for the ACE to 435. Acknowledgements should be included; lists of other books and blurbs of other books don't.

ETA: Worldcat has 433 for this isbn, matching with your page count as they don't include the last pages when there is no page number on the page.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments Thanks Arenda, I really wasn't sure if the list counts or not as it is not one of the items explicitly listed on the guidelines.
