Mantas (mantasbacys) | 58 comments Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians #1)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
ISBN13: 9780804120777
This book is 416 pages long as it is an unabridged audible audiobook published at the same time as the original publication date.

I assume one has to specify page number for audiobooks too as they are supposed to count towards one's yearly book stats?

Amazon has 384. WorldCat has 368. You have 347. Any idea where the discrepancy comes in? Is there unnumbered front or back matter that your 347 count doesn't include? Depending on what it is, it may be counted as valid pages by Goodreads. Here is the criteria for page numbering:

https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

For Collaborating with the Enemy: How to Work with People You Don't Agree with or Like or Trust, because it's an ebook edition, we use the page count the publisher provides. It may not match your copy because ebook readers vary so widely.

For Authentic Leadership, WorldCat says 140. Are there 4 extra pages in the back? Or are those 4 pages an ad or something for other books?

For Intellectual Property Strategy, Amazon says 192 and WorldCat says 172. Do you have the physical paperback or the ebook edition associated with the same ISBN?

For audiobooks, we use the length of the recording in hours, rounded up. Changed Crazy Rich Asians to 14 pages.

Sorry, I was actually looking at it the wrong way, I thought that one had to exclude the references/bibliography/index, etc. and include only the 'actual pages' that you read. Thank you for the link to the guidelines!

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions - this book (same ISBN) has 349 numbered pages.

Authentic Leadership (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series) - 140 numbered pages (same ISBN paperback).

Intellectual Property Strategy (MIT Press Essential Knowledge) - 172 numbered pages (same ISBN paperback).

Sorry again for the confusion!

OK, thanks, rivka. Added it to my post above so it would all be together.

Just to confirm, you got that ISBN from the book itself, rather than the record on Goodreads?
