Theresa F. | 391 comments According to the Goodreads database, the Scholastic Apple Paperbacks edition of Which Witch? by Eva Ibbotson
(ISBN: 0590419269)
has 208 pages.
I have this edition, but my copy has 222 pages. Please look into this. Thank you.

Ashley (ashleybookly) | 979 comments WorldCat has 249 pages for that ISBN. Is there anything after page 222 in your copy?

My copy of the book ends with page 222, which has the last paragraph of Chapter 21 printed on it. It doesn't look like any pages have fallen out of the book, but I suppose it's possible there was a printing error of some sort. I've encountered children's chapter books with printing errors in the past, and I'm not certain how many chapters this story is actually supposed to have.

Theresa F. | 391 comments I was going back through the list of editions for this book and I came across a database entry that had the same cover, publisher, and number of pages as my copy. There was no ISBN attributed to this entry. It just said First Scholastic Printing. Is it possible that Scholastic Inc reused the ISBN for a later printing of the book that had more pages?

Ashley (ashleybookly) | 979 comments I have updated the page count to 222 for now to reflect your book in hand. Thanks.
