Jonathan Currinn (Good Star Vibes) (criticjonni) | 101 comments Hi there,

Apparently, this book has 300 pages according to GoodReads, which isn't true, as I have the book in my hands and it has 256 pages - Amazon also agrees.

Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The ISBN is: 9781912374533

Also, the book cover needs updating as there isn't an image - even though the Kindle version has the right cover.

I hope these two things can be updated - I won a competition to receive this book before anyone else - hence why I have the book in my hands.

Jonathan Currinn (Good Star Vibes) (criticjonni) | 101 comments This publisher page has it listed as 256, and their links to Amazon, Waterstones, and Hive all state 256 pages too.

Amazon is not a good source for page numbering (except for Kindle editions). And user's book-in-hand trumps everything (except for Kindle/ebooks). Edited to 256.
