That's fine, thank you!
I checked it on Worldcat, it has 191 pages there. Worldcat policy of counting pages is more or less the same as on GR, publisher is not always correct about pages. And we use Amazon only for Kindles' page count.
But if you have copy in hand, please tell what is there on pages 192-200, if it's countable, I"ll correct it.
#202 ISBN is necessary for page count requests, but it's always helpful, thank you! The problem here is that this cover was attatched to Kindle edition with ASIN B000S66NDY. And when I search by ISBN, there is no cover: https://www.amazon.com/Prisons-Beyond...In this case we don't swap covers, but I can add Kindle edition, if it helps. Seems like it's not on GR yet.
#203 seems like it's a duplicate of A Christmas Carol, but it has more than 6000 editions and GR functionality is limited now. I will come back to it later.#204-206 done
You’re right! Nothing important on pages 192-200 just the index (p. 193) and colophon p. 197). Thank you!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...title - Империя должна умереть. История русских революций в лицах. 1900-1917
summary - Революции не происходят неожиданно, империи не гибнут ни с того ни с сего. Главный урок, который мы можем вынести из революции 1917 года, — понимание того, почему император и его окружение в обстановке, которая требовала кардинальных внутренних реформ, не только на эти реформы не решились, но, наоборот, всеми силами пытались повернуть развитие страны вспять, усиливая опору на «традиционные ценности», православие и армию.
Глава за главой, через живые истории людей, в книге «Империя должна умереть» Михаил Зыгарь показывает, как империя неуклонно движется к катастрофе и почему ничто не может ее спасти.
Главный герой этой книги — российское гражданское общество. Оно зарождается в первые годы ХХ века, развивается на глазах у читателя и на его же глазах исчезает вскоре после 1917 года. Узнавая хронику событий столетней давности, читатель может понять, что происходит сегодня, и попробовать заглянуть в будущее.

В данной публикации не только рассматривается история и теория вопроса, но и приводятся фрагменты реальных управленческих, методических и дидактических материалов из опыта деятельности Негосударственного образовательного учреждения средней общеобразовательной школы "Росинка" Западного учебного округа г. Москвы. Настоящая работа представляет интерес как для руководителей и педагогов школ, так и для сотрудников методических служб управлений образования.
The Revolt of the Provinces: Anti-Gypsyism and Right-Wing Politics in Hungary Cover/number of pages - https://www.amazon.com/Revolt-Provinc...
Myself When Young: Growing Up in the 1890's Annotation:In Myself When Young, Arthur Krock returns to a way of life only briefly explored in his Memoirs, to a time and a place long past, yet here richly and fully recaptured. From 1887 to 1910, Krock grew up in the fields and streets of rural and urban Kentucky, learning about the world around him, and eventually, about the particular world of newspaper journalism. With a keen eye and a clear prose, Krock brings back those days — the lazy summer afternoons and sense of community of rural Glasgow, the bustling excitement and activity of Louisville.
He recreates the big brick house he lived in, surrounded by uncles and aunts and ruled by the strict but gentle hand of his grandfather; the rituals of country courting and of melon-patch raiding in August; the pleasures of a very infor- mal type of fox-hunting, in which the hounds and handlers went chasing while the "hunters" sat on a hill and drank bourbon. He recalls fiery camp meetings, led by Negro preachers and filled with spirituals; tumultuous Saturday nights, when normally peaceable citizens displayed a "special inclination to violence under the influence of alcohol"; breezy stagecoach rides to near-by villages; and the exciting process of learning the "three useful things" — how to ride, shoot, and draw a bow.
And then he moves to Louisville and the picture changes to the rough-and-tumble world of newspaper reporting with its legendary figures like editor Henry Watterson, with his one blazing blue eye, and cartoonist Fontaine Fox, creator of the Toonerville Trolley. He creates a penetrating portrait of the fierce newspaper competition in 1907 and of Louisville in general: its atmosphere, social life, and entertainments, its prominent personalities and characters, like Mother Savage, the proprietress of Louisville's famed theatrical boarding house. And Krock talks about his initiation into politics, his stories resounding with the likes of William Jennings Bryan, William Taft, William Randolph Hearst, and local figures like the "mountain of a man," Senator Ollie James.
The book ends with Krock's triumphant arrival in Washington, D.C., in 1910, the beginning for him of a "new and awesome phase of national journalism that was to post me twice in Washington: for the Haldeman papers (1910-1915) and for the New York Times (1932-1966)."
This is a warmly nostalgic memoir of another age, a book both entertaining and informative about the details of Arthur Krock's personal life — and about the whole way of life of the simpler American society that preceded World War I. "There have been localities in a span of history in which the conditions of living seem to have overbalanced the human bent for destruction and the day-to-day problems were minimal in comparison with the pleasure of existence. This was true of the region where one individual, myself, grew to young manhood."
Confirmation Cover - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/021...and annotation -
The story of this green paradise of love Outlander and small soft and sassy girls , curious about their sexuality and that of " big people " was a bestseller for 70 years , both in publishing and club in hand . One may wonder , in the twenty-first century , if such a novel is acceptable. The publisher made the bet, did they win?
This "confirmation" has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit. What we reveals the author , the juvenile mystery lurking beneath the veil and tulle adolescents. We talked about to paradise and disorders of childhood loves . They are here "clearly expressed " by the Stranger , the Other, the Offeror in such well- known story which is no longer scandalous .
Laughter in Hell The author's ninth book, "set in the 1880's, about an Irish-American railroad man who is sentenced to a chain gang after killing his wife and her lover in a jealous rage" (Prouty, Howard. The Dozen and One: A Field Guide to the Books of Jim Tully, p.[11]). The second and last of Tully's books to be adapted for the silver screen, basis for Edward L. Cahn's 1933 film of the same name, which cast Tully himself alongside Pat O'Brien, Tommy Conlon, and Merna Kennedy. HANNA 3570. First Printing.
To other edition - Laughter In HellThe desperate circumstances of a hard working railroad engineer are chronicled in this novel. After killing his wife and her paramour he is sentenced to life on a Southern chain gang where the inmates are tortured and tormented by their captors.
Jim Tully has largely been forgotten today, but during the 1920s and 1930s he was considered one of Americas best writers, routinely ranked with Hemingway and Fitzgerald as a true American voice.
This Ring eBooks edition of this forgotten American classic is DRM free.
What the Critics Said:
The emotion of the author is a driving force that makes the story well worthwhile. The Saturday Review
If Tully were a Russian, read in translation, all the professors would be hymning him. He has all of Gorkys capacity for making vivid the miseries of poor and helpless men, and in addition he has a humor that no Russian could conceivably have. - H.L. Mencken
The Convict and the Stained Glass Windows Carmelo Soraci grew up in the ""smutty wilderness"" of crime on the lower East Side to pass false checks and end up as a multiple-felony offender in prison, where he spent 21 years. In Dannemora, he turned from forgery to original, creative work as an artist and designed, helped to build, and install, stained glass windows for a new chapel there which have been valued at $250,000. Later he was sent to Sing Sing to design windows for that prison's chapel. It was ""in college"" at Dannemora that he discovered drawing as a real escape and salvation, taught a class of students, and was in some measure under the influence of the Padre there. After his release-on parole- he was again arrested for having married without permission from his parole officer, appeared before Judge Thompson, who contributes the foreword here, for resentence, and was freed. The circumstances of this case are perhaps more interesting than its fuller documentation, but it is a remarkable story of redirection and regeneration, or, as Judge Thompson says, creating ""something beautiful from a dismal experience"".

Please add a proper annotation to this book - The Other Balkan Wars: A 1913 Carnegie Endowment Inquiry in Retrospect
Timeless and timely, these pages bring to life again—after eight decades—the ravages of war in the Balkans at the other end of the twentieth century.
Timeless, for readers who discern that the tragedy of Yugoslavia is evoked all too readily by these first-hand accounts of Serbian, Bulgarian and Greek enmity and brutality long ago. These allies against the Turks in the first Balkan war of 1912 turned enemies in the second Balkan war of 1913. Since then
much has changed; much has not. The Balkan lexicon now includes "ethnic cleansing." By other names, however, it is everywhere in these pages, as compelling in an era of telegraph and steamship as in an era of computers and television.
Timely, for readers who will more fully understand from this volume, published by the Carnegie Endowment in 1914, how deep and strong are the roots of the present conflict in the Balkans. Members of the orginal
Commission of Inquiry, who came from the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany filled their report with details of regional politics, nationalist and ethnic tension, religious differences, moral codes abandoned, meddling by outsiders, local leaders gripped by ambition and local hatreds run
rampant.
These pages also bespeak a confidence misplaced and an optimism lost. Confident that they knew the auses of war, and optimistic that the Balkans could know a peace like the one the rest of Europe had experienced for a generation, these distinguished commissioners were innocent of what August
1914 would mean for their world. Sadly, the people of the Balkans will one day face another grim postwar future, knowing that they cannot easily escape a history that the world asks them to forget for the sake of peace.
Professor Kennan's introduction bridges the Balkan wars of 1913 and 1993. He does justice to both eras with a historian's eye and a special blend of realism and moral sensibility. He judges—as will many readers—that the 1914 report "may stand, in its entirety, as one of the most eloquent and compelling pleas for recognition of the folly of modern war and the essentiality of international peace, not just in the Balkans but everywhere in the civilized world."

#216 cover added, but since this is an ebook:Most ebook formats do not have a fixed number of pages since the pagination adjusts for screen size. If the publisher provides a specific page count, that number should be reflected in our book data. For PDF-specific editions, or any other fixed page ebooks, the normal paging rules may be used.
There is no page count for this format on publisher's site, so I keep it blank. Amazon is a source for Kindles' page count only.

Hi Aidan!
It seems like your new account is a user account, not GR Author's. It's impossible to connect books with it. You should claim your page as GR Author according to this instruction: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Probably you are familiar with this prosedure because you already have a GR account.
Or maybe I don't understand your request, since names on both pages are the same, do you really need a second GR Author account? Sometimes authors have multiple pen names, and a claimed page for each of them. Different authors with the same name are separated into different accounts by adding spaces between name and last name.
Anyway, this issue must be solved by staff, because librarians are volunteers who don't have access to these features. I hope it was helpful.

When God Was an Atheist Sailor: Memories of a Childhood at Sea, 1902-1910Annotation -
"The author of this utterly charming idyll was born September 5, 1902, on an ocean- going schooner becalmed in the mid-Pacific's doldrums. Commanded by her Danish-born father, the great sailing ship was the little girl's home until she was piped ashore to attend school in 1910.
"Based in San Francisco, it had ports of call ranging from the Pacific Northwest down to Peru. Between and during commercial voyages, the square-rigged craft was an enchanted world for [Burgess and hersister]. Among other pleasures, they watched flying fish play, romped on the quarterdeck, witnessed brawls among "crew members, studied natural maritime wildlife, reveled in rites of passage (as in first crossing the equator), and enjoyed a warm domestic existence in the captain's well-appointed quarters.. .
.
"The author recollects her father as a ...domineering presence who refused to accompany his family to divine services; not until years later did she realize his muscular arms and chest bore a wealth of lusty tattoos. "Cogill evokes absorbing, human-scale aspects fin-de-siecle America."
The author ends her memoirs with a quietly moving scene describing the mysterious on-board death of her father which, made all the more powerful in contrast with the idyllic tone of what has gone before, will bring cold chills. This unusual, elegantly written slice of a lost, adventurous era, illus- trated with 30 rare photographs, should become a classic.
Please, add a proper cover and annotation to this book - The Red Truck
This is the story of Billy-Billy Jump and Teddianne Sayers. They tell it to us—strangely, very strangely—in their own appalled, stuporous, bewildered words. The time is the 1950s; the place, small town in the rural South. Transfixed by the accidental death of his little brother, Billy-Billy Jump turns inward; he dreams of a girl. She is his double, a doppelganger, himself as another self somewhere remote from where he is. Billy-Billy Jump comes to construe this presence as the offered replacement of a kind of absence in himself. Only in her, through her, with her, can he complete himself, make himself whole. The world turns away from him—parents, playmates, school. There is nothing but the girl, the sensation of the girl, her ghostly promise of some kind of spiritual fulfilment. But who is she? Where is she? In the queer syntax of Billy-Billy Jump's disordered heart, the girl answers his quest by transforming herself into Billy-Billy's idea of Christ, whereas she, Teddianne Sayers—quite apart from the influence of Billy-Billy's example—is consumed by a very different idea of Christ. She has seen Him—on the streets, at the curb—He ia a red truck. It is from these materials that Rudy Wilson conflects a nightmare of widening dementia. Darting back and forth in time and imagination to the lives that they might once have lived and to the that they yearn to live, Billy-Billy and Teddianne careen along a macabre American dreamscape in search of an end to their endless searching. The result is a novel certain to be recorded as one of the most unsettling, erotic, and unshakable narratives in recent literary history.

Leftism Revisited: from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot Please, add annotation:Communism might be in retreat in Eastern Europe, but it is only one strain of the Leftism that Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddin charts in this stunning book.
For Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddin, Leftism is the enemy of human freedom and is wedded to the ideas of materialism, centralization, and politization (among many others) - ideas that fit not only communism and national socialism, but democrasy as well.
Leftism Revisited is a thought-provoking book, analyzing the Leftist mind, Leftism in history, the Left and American.
Here is the throughly revised and updated magnum opus of one of the most astonishing men of our time - Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddin, proffesor, journalist, columnist for National Review, world traveler (to more than seventy-five countries, usually with repeat visits, as well as fifty states in the United States), linguist (he speaks eight languages fluently and can read eleven others), artist, novelist, and author of nonfiction studies of politics, religion and love.
Leftism Revisited is encyclopedic. From the French Revolution (and before), to the Second World War, to events in present-day Eastern Europe, Leftism Revisited traces the course of some of the most pernicious (and still widespread) ideas that have helped to poison the well of human understanding and restrict human freedom.
"No man alive has worked harder than he for what he calls Christian civilizsation, and no civilization could ask of any man of any disposition however chivalrous more than Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddin has given in behalf of the culture he loves and longs to preserve" - William F. Buckley, Jr.
"A pleasure to read...provides Americans with a refreshingly different perspective on the history of this century." - Modern Age
"I despair of doing justice to the book's wealth of oddly enlightening fact, the harvest of long experience, reading, and travel." - Josef Sobran
"This is no doubt his masterpiece." - William F. Buckley, Jr.

The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds: An Up-Close Portrait of White Nationalist William PierceAnnotation -
The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds: An Up-Close Portrait of White Nationalist William Pierce by Robert S. Griffin is about the life and ideas of the most influential and intriguing figure on the extreme right in America. William Pierce is best known as the author of the infamous underground novel, The Turner Diaries, which has sold over three hundred thousand copies and very likely inspired the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995. An Anti-Defamation League report calls the organization Pierce heads, the National Alliance, the most dangerous hate group in America. Robert Griffin lived for a month on Pierce's heavily guarded property in rural West Virginia and came to know Pierce and those around him. Griffin conducted twenty hours of audio-taped interviews with Pierce, which he draws upon extensively in The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds. The book recounts Pierce's personal story from childhood on, identifies the books and people and situations that have influenced him, spells out his perspective on the issues of our time, and describes his day-to-day routine. The title of the book is drawn from an old Norse poem which, in ways that become clear as the book progresses, captures the meaning Pierce ascribes to his own life. Pierce is put in a larger frame by accounts of the lives and ideas of other individuals on the far right, most of them unfamiliar to the general public, and references to related published materials, many of which are not readily available in this country. Readers of this book will come away with a clear understanding of white nationalism--another label, white racialism--and its critique of American life. General readers will find The Fame of a Dead Man's Deeds engaging and accessible, and even the most discerning readers will find this book timely, important, informative, and thought-provoking.

Покой Annotation must be on russian:Роман «Покой» турецкого писателя Ахмеда Хамди Танпынара (1901–1962) является первым единственным в турецкой литературе образцом смешения приемов европейского модернизма и канонов ближневосточной мусульманской литературы. Действие романа разворачивается в Стамбуле на фоне ярких исторических событий XX века — свержения Османской династии и Первой мировой войны, войны за Независимость в Турции, образования Турецкой Республики и кануна Второй мировой войны. Герои романа задаются традиционными вопросами самоопределения, пытаясь понять, куда же ведут их и их страну пути истории — на Запад или на Восток.
«Покой» является не только классическим произведением турецкой литературы XX века, но также открывает перед читателем новые горизонты в познании прекрасного и своеобразного феномена турецкой (и лежащей в ее фундаменте османской) культуры.
