Hello,

The Gift of Therapy (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...) is currently listed as having 263 pages. The copy I'm reading now has far more than that, and the publisher's websites suggests so as well.

ISBN: 9780749923730
Publisher's link: https://www.littlebrown.co.uk/books/d...

Thanks!

WorldCat has 307 so I've gone with that. Publishers add lots of things like ads for other books etc that we don't count.

[Mel]

Great, thanks for explaining. Yeah, I've always wondered what counts and what doesn't, especially if there's relevant content like the introduction that's numbered in Roman numerals. :-)

[Sandra]

No, we don't count the roman numerals either.

From the manual:
" The number of pages in a book is meant to include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.

Introductory material paged using roman numerals is not included in the total page count. "

Here are the instructions how the page count is to be determined: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

Thanks to both of you!
