Volume 2 has 305 Pages,

Sorry no ISBN as this book is an ebook only and a narrated audiobook.

Sandra | 31542 comments Luke we only use the publisher stated page count for ebooks, as the page counts change over devices & font size.

I found the info for the audiobook, do you have any further information on the ebook? Like publisher, dates etc.


message 3: by Luke (new)

Luke Stephens | 9 comments The only details I can find are:

Based on the Moral Letters to Lucilius by Seneca, translated by Richard Mott Gummere.

Loeb Classical Library® edition
Volume 1 first published 1917;
Volume 2 first published in 1920;
Volume 3 first published 1925.

(Page ii).


The book appears to be put together by Tim Ferris and his team.
They are freely available online: https://tim.blog/2017/07/06/tao-of-se...

Makes sense why publisher stated pages are used, I wonder if this could be possibly an exception, as the pages are published in PDF? Which when opened without a reader like Kindle Volume 2 has 307 pages.

Sandra | 31542 comments PDFs are the exception to the rule. I didn't mention it cause nobody but me seems to use PDFs anymore.

But, you've stated both 305 & 307 pages for volume 2, so which is it?


message 5: by Luke (new)

Luke Stephens | 9 comments In PDFs the page counts are as follows:

Volume 1: 352
Volume 2: 307
Volume 3: 315

Originally I gave the imported PDF page numbers into the Kindle app, apologies about that.

Sandra | 31542 comments Page counts added to all 3 Luke.
