If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to your own thread. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply.

Hi thanks David BTW can you tell me why everywhere it says it has 320 pages when the book has 563 pages? It says everywhere on Google can't find anything about 563 number of pages that's really strange.

Good question. I'd imagine the mistaken information from Amazon simply propagated elsewhere, as it can usually be relied upon to be correct.

Worldcat, which is an authoritative source for page counts (more so than Amazon, except for Kindle editions), gives 564 pages for this ISBN: https://www.worldcat.org/title/roman-...

Book in hand trumps Worldcat though :)

Rene, could you tell us what is on page 564, so we know whether it should be counted?

Rene2410 | 48 comments Its one page about the author

Sandra | 31652 comments We do count author information so it should be 564. So the edit stands :)
