Correcting page numbers

[Mary]

The page total for Five Novels by Alberto Moravia should be 1247 instead of 247.

FIVE NOVELS BY ALBERTO MORAVIA Mistaken Ambitions, Agostino, Luca, Conjugal Love, A Ghost at Noon

From the description here it seems this book has each novel starting with their own page numbering and 247 is a page count for the last one
11-page intro by Charles J. Rolo, literary editor of Atlantic Monthly; 'Mistaken' 549 pgs, 'Agostino/ Luca' 268 pgs, 'Conjugal' 183 pgs & 'Ghost' 247 pgs;

I believe that this will mean Goodreads will list 247 as a page count, but someone more experienced might want to advice if my understanding of the policy is not correct.

[Mary]

If you have the book, add up the individual novels and you will have 1247 pages.

[Mary]

The first novel, 'Mistaken Ambitions' is 549 pages.

[Mary]

It seems you should be given credit for the number of pages you have read, which obviously is not 247.

[Olivia]

Could we have another librarian's take on the policy here?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

This is an omnibus volume, with each book within it starting over with its own numbering?

Then we would use the sum of each of the counts for the books within it.

[Mary]

Does this mean that the page count will be 1247?

[Olivia]

I updated the page count to 1247

Sorry it has taken so long... I wasn't sure what to do in this case

It was confusing. Just glad it was resolved.
