978-0-6848-6027-9 290 it's what he would have wanted

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments Are you following our guidelines?

978-0-7475-9162-7 53 the wolves in the walls: The publisher (and Amazon) states 56 for this book on all other editions. I have in my hands and there are no page numbers, so I think a publisher number may be correct, unless your edition has page numbers and actually ends on 53. I corrected the title and details. The Wolves In The Walls

978-1-5406-4788-7 326 nothing important happened today: Createspace has 336 and they are usually quite accurate. Is there no page 327 at all? If there is, what's on page 327-336? I added cover and details. Nothing Important Happened Today

978-0-6848-6027-9 290 it's what he would have wanted: That's not a valid ISBN. I found a very similar ISBN: 9780684860299. Amazon and worldcat both have 304 pages for this one so I used that. I'm not sure if that's your edition or not, but if it is, let us know what's on pages 291 and onward. I added details. It's What He Would've Wanted

978-0-5712-2053-3 276 the uninvited: Done, worldcat agrees. The Uninvited

436-18783-3 592 the tin drum [hardback, 1974 re-issue]: This is not a valid ISBN, but a leading zero will make it 0436187833 which fits Tin Drum, but this already has 592 as page count so nothing to correct.

978-3-4230-9450-4 187 strange incident at sea: Done, worldcat agrees. Also added details, got better cover. Seltsamer Vorfall auf See / Strange Incident at Sea: Amerikanische Erzählungen Von Ambrose Bierce Bis Mark Twain

Thanks for the information.

Virginprune | 13 comments brilliant! thanks vm.
"wolves" - yes, no page numbers, and I missed out a couple of pre-text pages, so take their number as good
"nothing" - I wish it only had one page. Or less! The edition I have does actually have only pages 1-326, which looks strongly like the end to me. although perhaps one should get blessed with 10 extra pages credit, just for making it to the end...
"it's what" - ah, yes, actually 978-0-6848-6027-5 or 0-6848-6027-9. my bad. thanks.
the rest - thanks very much. let me know if you need any more data, before I throw some of these out!

"it's what": is page count 290 or 304?

Virginprune | 13 comments oh, for the record, "it's what ..." (978-0-6848-6027-5 or 0-6848-6027-9) is 290 pages - doesn't seem to have been updated.
