Hi, Tim. Yes, my copy has this extra material, at the end of the book, after page 332, and beginning with a new numbering of 2 and numbers to page 19. However, pages 4 through 19 are excerpts from the author's other books (not titled "preview chapters" but same category to my mind), which I gathered shouldn't be included in page counts, according to this:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

Just to clarify the odd numbering of these P.S. pages, there is an unnumbered Acknowledgements page after page 332; the P.S. section begins right after with a table of contents page without a printed number, but the next two pages after, titled About the Author, are numbered as pages 2 and 3. The Read On pages (which are solely the excerpts of three more of the author's other books) are numbered 4 - 19, with 19 being the very last numbered page.

If it helps, my copy is First Edition, William Morrow - An Imprint of Harper Collins.
The ISBN I gave is specific for this hardcover edition, and I used it (not the title) to search for the book on WorldCat for verification.

Apologies for the trouble; I was just hoping to have it match up with the info given on WorldCat so it would provide accurate page counts for others as well.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

About the author would be included, but not previews/excerpts/etc.

Set to 336.

Thank you both for your time and assistance in trying to get this sorted out.

I believe I overly complicated matters by unnecessarily writing what all is included in the bonus material (e.g., the "About the Author" is not a separate page and is not the standard publisher bio; indeed this "P.S. Insights, Interviews, & More...." section is deceptively titled as there aren't any interviews).

I only wanted to be clear that the "P.S." section is a separate, counted-on-its-own section, i.e., with its own set of page numbers.

To be honest, and to respectfully disagree, I'm still in favor of the count given in the book and on WorldCat, which is 332.

After re-reading the GR rules, I find it follows the rule of "Page numbers should match the page numbers as listed in the book. If a book begins on page 6, for example, do not subtract from the final page count to determine the “actual” number of pages - simply list the number on the last page with countable content."

It's my hope to get it corrected to that 332 count.... Otherwise, when I or other readers update the status of pages read, it will be confusing to see 336 when there is not such a page listed (in the book or on WorldCat) and to add pages from the bonus section seems to contradict the statement "simply list the number on the last page with countable content."

According to that, the number on the last page is 332.

It's my fault for not explaining more clearly and succinctly, for not grasping that last rule sooner.... I apologize for the confusion, but I would be remiss in not explaining my reasoning for it to be changed.

Thanks again for your time and assistance.
