Could you please fix the page number of this book?

Hi guys,

Could you please fix the page number of this book with ISBN 9780140124996?
It should have 253 pages.

From page 254 to 260: it has "Read more in Penguin" (advertising).

Thank you in advance ;-)

Publisher, also Amazon, both specify: 304 pages. And it is right.

User with book in hand trumps publisher and Amazon; page count set to 253.

Thank you for your help. I do have the book in my hands ;-)

You are both right but maybe you simply forget that I did not know that she was holding a book in her hands.

Although you seem to be all right, because I had to guess by her sentence: "From page 254 to 260: it has" Read more in Penguin "(advertising)."

I apologize.

No worries! It never hurts to ask if the user has the book in hand when initially responding to the request if you're not sure. If not, Worldcat generally has a more accurate page count in line with GR policy than either the publisher or Amazon (except in the case of Kindle editions or ebooks).

No problem! I understand that it is important to not add errors to the Goodreads catalog. Thank you both for your help!
