Not sure what you meant by book 1599780, but I fixed the page numbering for the kindle edition, to be 375. When it comes to a kindle edition we go by what amazon states, because settings on an e-reader(Kindle) can change how many pages it thinks there are.
Hmm, I was looking into this and got stuck on the Paperback's record. The book with that ISBN is published in 2012 (which is the only edition on Worldcat) yet this record is for 2007. Closer inspection of the librarian log shows that the record's cover image was deleted by the author and changed to the current one, and the format was changed from ebook to paperback. The original publisher being set by the user as 'Wordpress' makes me think this may have originally been published on the author's blog?ETA: Found an archived version of the author's blog, where he used to publish the comic. In December 2007 he published a pdf of the complete first issue. Would that have counted as a book for GoodReads standards? (Source:https://web.archive.org/web/200712140... )

Yes a published PDF would usually be a book according to GR standards. Would be classed as an ebook.
Sorry, by "published" I meant "made available through his blog", which I think counts as the same thing for GR, but just to be clear.So what should I do in this case? Is it really worth it to change the entire record to reflect its original intent? Or should I just update the information to the book that is currently being referenced, in which case, do I make a separate record for the PDF or not?
Fixed.Reverted the ebook->paperback change
Reverted adding the ISBN13 to the paperback
Moved the paperback to the right Author Profile.
Combined paperback with other editions.
Put the ISBN13 on the paperback edition that was under a different profile, that already had the ISBN10.
Left the pub change of the ebook, because it was so long ago, and could have been the author fixing the info a user typed in.
Thanks, Philip, sorry for putting this on you! :(Also, what about the cover image? Is it possible to successfully revert the deletion?
Goodreads says it has 259 pages. The copy on my Kindle says it has 359 pages. Amazon says it has 375 pages. I would prefer to see it at 359, but 375 is also better than the totally-wrong 259.
