Monika (monikal) | 674 comments Hi, according to WorldCat the page count is 349. If you have the book in hand, you could go through this and let us know the correct page count.

Thanks for the information!

Mike Crawford | 5 comments Page 349 is accurate as the last numbered page of text in the book.

That said, here's some detail below in case we really want to really be sticklers -- maybe Amazon gets to 352 by including three pages that aren't in the 349 count:

1. A page before the title page that includes a mini-bio of the author and translator like you'd find on a hardcover jacket flap,

2. the backside of the page above which is blank,

3. the back side of page 349 which is a Penguin publishing advertisement.

So you only get 352 if you try to count all the sides of paper between the covers, which seems kind of silly.

Does that help?

Monika (monikal) | 674 comments Yes it does :) I've added the page count- 349 as per the rules and it's entry on worldcat.

Thanks for clarifying!
