Yaaresse | 90 comments These are books I noticed in my lists that do not have page counts. Most are Kindle editions, which I assume we want page counts for so they count for our annual reading goals. I've pulled info from Amazon or publisher (if Amazon had nothing listed.)

I have a bunch of these, as in several dozen. As suggested by this group, I plan to post them in small batches. I'd like to be sure I'm providing you the info you need/want before posting any more of them.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Done...mostly. When you post these requests, make sure that your Amazon link matches the ISBN that you write here and the ISBN of the Goodreads record that you link to. Number two, The Pirates of Colonial North Carolina, did not match. I was able to find the edition in question, though the page numbering didn't match what was on WorldCat. WorldCat is generally a more accurate source for page numbers (for everything but kindle editions) than Amazon. So if possible, include links to WorldCat instead of Amazon. Though even WorldCat gets it wrong sometimes, and book in hand trumps all, as long as you count all the right stuff:https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

Yaaresse | 90 comments OK, thanks for the feedback and the link. I'll use the WorldCat links for the other print editions (if I don't have the book in hand) when I list them.
