User asked for title correction here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

While fixing it on the three listings I added language that was listed on Amazon. but for this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... I was going to add the missing page count also but Amazon says 208. Worldcat has 2 listings with that ISBN and they both have different page counts and neither matches the Amazon listing. http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=wor...

So I left it blank. What would you do to confirm true page count?

Arenda | 26450 comments From looking at Worldcat, and since the book was just published, I suspect 256 is a pre-publication estimate.
The other Worldcat page count for isbn 9781591847625 is 196, with viii = 8 pages introduction with Roman numerals.
196 + 8 makes 208, which is the page count on Amazon for this edition.
Since GR does not include introductions with Roman numerals in the page count, I would add 196.

You can ask the user who asked about the subtitle, if he has that hardcover edition and what the page count actually is.
