Book in hand trumps everything, so even if an edition cannot be found on WorldCat, the page count may be corrected if the source is the book itself.

Albert | 2404 comments All page counts have been changed as requested in message 1. Except for The Escape, either WorldCat did not show a page count or did not show the book at all, in which case we used your reported page count or WorldCat agreed with your page count. With The Escape, there was a one page difference between your page count and WorldCat's which it is my understanding occasionally happens; in this case we used your page count.

I was aware of it, but I was also worried a reader who's not familiar with GR page count policies might make mistakes even when they have the actual book(s) in hand.


message 10: by Joe (new)

Joe | 3726 comments it's definatley 156 although the last page doe not show the number that is the page it ends on.
