Hailee | 237 comments Hi,

Can the page number for the paperback edition of Eragon with the ISBN 978-0552552097 please be corrected to 517.

Thank you

Bea Worldcat states that particular edition has 528 pages which concurs with the GR entry. No changes made.

Per the Librarian 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."

Hailee | 237 comments Apologies I tried to confirm with wordcat before i made the request and I thought the information I looked at said that the page number was 517. I was maybe looking at wrong part of the entry. This is the section I looked at:


ISBN:9780552552097 0552552097OCLC

Number:799747238

Description:1 vol. (517 p.) : couv. ill. en coul. ; 21 cm.

Sandra | 31627 comments I double checked and 9780552552097 (2005 edition which is the one on GR) does indeed have 517 pages on WorldCat.

It has been changed several times from 517 so I've left a librarian note, hopefully it will stay at 517 from now on.
