Matt (mcnmatt) | 1 comments I noticed that for many books the API num_pages is blank even though the Goodreads site for that book has a listing for number of pages.

An example is book id 25605005

The API shows blank num_pages:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

But if you look at the url in that return you can see that Goodreads has page numbers for that book listed: Kindle Edition, 294 pages:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you.

Jessica Darger | 1 comments I am seeing this same issue on many books as well.

Here is another example of a book that has a page count in the public library, but returns blank num_pages for the API:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Are there any updates on this?

Thanks!
