Chuck White | 210 comments Please add page count of 84 pages to The Ghost of Windy Hill.

ISBN: 9789992829363

I have this book and Worldcat agrees.

Thank you.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7873 comments I was unable to locate this ISBN on WorldCat. Would you please double-check the ISBN of your book and let us know? We can add a page count with a book-in-hand verification, but since there is some confusion about the WorldCat listing, I would be more comfortable knowing I'm adding the page count to the edition you have.


Chuck White | 210 comments Hi Dobby0390,

Yes, here is the link for the book. This is the edition I have.

https://www.worldcat.org/title/ghost-...

Thank you.

Those ISBNs are different.


Chuck White | 210 comments Perhaps you can make a new entry, using the ISBN I supplied and the proper page count.

The book does exist, I am looking right at it.

I guess Worldcat isn't the be all and end all.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7873 comments As Lethe pointed out, the ISBN for the Goodreads listing you linked to in Message 1 is different from the ISBN in the WorldCat listing you provided in Message 3:

• 9789992829363: Msg 1, Goodreads listing The Ghost of Windy Hill

• 9780590432863: Msg 3, WorldCat listing

We are not saying that the book doesn't exist. I asked that you tell me the ISBN shown in your copy of the book. The WorldCat link you provided is for ISBN 9780590432863, not ISBN 9789992829363 as shown in your first post.

There is a Goodreads listing for ISBN 9780590432863: The Ghost of Windy Hill. That listing is missing a cover image and had the wrong page count. I added the illustrator name and the page count from the information provided on WorldCat.

When you provide the ISBN from your book, we can fix the page count for that edition on Goodreads.


Chuck White | 210 comments Fair enough, thanks for doing what you've done so far.

ISBN for the edition I have, looking at it right now, is:

ISBN 0-590-11850-1

Page count is 84 pages.

Cover image is the same as the one shown here:

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7873 comments Thank you, Chuck. That edition was in the Goodreads catalog but with very few details. I added the page number you provided and additional details, including the cover, from an Amazon listing. We aren't allowed to use a cover from a different edition, but your link helped me to double-check the Amazon edition.

Here is the listing for your copy, ISBN 0590118501 / 9780590118507: The Ghost of Windy Hill


Chuck White | 210 comments Thank you, Dobby0390. I appreciate your diligence and patience in getting this cleared up.

I love GR and just want to do my part to make it as accurate as possible.

Have a great one.

Thank you, and you as well. We accomplished something fine in our little corner of the world today. :)
