message 1: by Bea (new) - rated it 3 stars

Bea (bookthesimple) | 5 comments Hi,
The standard UK hardcover edition of Nocturna (published by Hodder & Stoughton) is listed as having 300 pages, yet the story ends on page 471 in my copy (476 incl. acknowledgements).
ISBN: 9781473675919
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Hope you can help,
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mahsa, please list the ISBN of the edition you're referring to when making a page numbering request, so that we can verify it.

Mahsa | 41 comments Hello david, thanks for the instructions!
As you told me I checked my own book.
Its ISBN Number is different from the one is registered in goodreads. Does it matter?

My book ISBN: 970-0-55382-020-1

Your edition is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

What is on page 460?

(Also, please start a new thread next time. This one is linked to a specific book.)

Mahsa | 41 comments Hi lethe, my book has 459 pages and the final page is introducing “Mayada” book of Jean Sasson with no page numbering.
Thank you for your help. The link you forwarded is correct, but why when I search the book in goodreads search button by my self I can’t find it and there is just one edition with 286 pages?! 🤔

OK, I'll leave it at 459 pages, then.

If you search by title, you will find the default edition (the one with the most shelvings), but this book has 18 other editions. On the book page, if you click on Other Editions (or All Editions), you will see the list: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

If you type the ISBN of your copy in the search box, you are taken to the correct edition straightaway.

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book or author is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
