Multiple page number changes

Howdy! I hope it's okay to put multiple entries in a single comment... if not, let me know, and I'll break apart future submissions into their own individual posts.

All done! :> How come there are so many mistakes?

[Greg]

I'm inventorying my physical book collection and adding them to Goodreads now, checking them as I go along. Most of the ones with errors so far seem to be a little older and a little less common, so perhaps they just haven't previously been corrected?

I have also noticed that several of the Goodreads entries that were incorrect actually matched the Amazon page count (which also was incorrect, based on looking at the actual physical book, and on the WorldCat site), so perhaps some of these titles were automatically generated from an Amazon data pull, at some point.

Finally, I've noticed that most of those Amazon page counts would be correct if the roman numeral introductory sections were counted (i.e., a physical count of pages, rather than the page numbers in the book), but Goodreads guidance says not to count those, and WorldCat data doesn't count them.

Thanks for your quick responses on these!
