Yes, that will be fine. I'll make a start.

Message #1 Book 1 This one a little confusing on World Cat. The entries that give a page number say 514. Can you tell me what is on pages 515-541 on your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Book 2 - this one appears to be an ebook - is that correct? I can only use the publisher as a resource for page counts for ebooks & I am struggling to find anything on their website. https://products.abc-clio.com/ Skipping unless someone can provide further info.

Book 3 Also an ebook. The publisher says 230 pages, so that is the page count I have to use. Added.

Book 4 This is a kindle, so I have to use Amazon's page count. 222 pages added.

Book 5 World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts gives this book as 246 pages. Can you tell me what is on page 247-256 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.
Also the binding is given as ring bound. Is that correct? :)

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2303 comments Message #3

Book #1 I have to use the page numbering on Amazon, so 64 pages it is. Previous description messed up & was very long so I have copied part from Amazon. (after using Google translate) Please advise if it doesn't make sense.

Book#2 World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts gives this book as 80 pages. Can you tell me what is on page 81-82 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Book#3 Is this a hard cover or an ebook? I'm having trouble finding a publisher

Book#4 Is this a hard cover or an ebook? I have found a publisher but the ISBNs don't match https://www.degruyter.com/view/title/...

Book # No 5 World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) gives this book as 184 pages. Can you tell me what (if anything is on pages 185-193 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

I am ashamed. I made some mistakes that you had pointed out. I don't know how I made them. I fixed the counting in the original comment. All your data are correct.

The #2 and #5 I own in pdf format so I don't know if it was originally printed in this format. The book #5 can be found here https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpubl...

#1 The description is flawless. Thank you.

#2 You are right about the counting. My mistake. It's 80 pages.

#3 My edition it's a digital one. The publisher in it is Pat Remler.

No. It's ok. I own it in a pdf format but I downloaded it from the website of the Metropolitan Museum, the original publisher. The info should be right.

Book# 1 World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) gives this book as 162 pages. Can you tell me what comes between pages 163-183 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Book#2. World cat agrees with the page count. Added

Book #3 Another confusing one. Looking at World Cat this seems to be 193pp. of text + 156pp of plates. I'm not sure if the plates should be counted or not. I'm reading a nonfiction book atm & the plates aren't counted in for that book. Could you look at your copy please and tell me how much text there is, not including advertising material, any extracts from other books & blank pages at the end.

Book #4 World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) gives this book as 160 pages. Can you tell me what is on page 161-8 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Book #5 This looks to be an ebook & the publisher no longer carries any information, sorry.

#1 It has text, till the last page. The last 2 pages contain the Index but I think it still counts.

#3 These pages contain the plates. The plates are only images of artefacts cited within the book. There's no advertisement or extracts of another books.

#4 After the page 160 there's maps and timelines.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2303 comments Rafael sorry to be pedantic but I need to be sure.

#1 183 is the final page of the index?

#3 You seem to be saying 193 is the right page count?

#4 Maps & timelines would count I think. So is the final page 168?


message 20: by Rafael (last edited Feb 01, 2021 08:32AM) (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments It's ok. You should check.

#1 Actually it's 175 the last page. I was counting with the introduction and acknowledgements in the beginning of the book, but this section are not numbered. The index is 174 and 175.

#3 If you consider that the plates are not valid. The plates' section are not numbered pages.

#4 160


message 21: by Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ (last edited Feb 01, 2021 11:56AM) (new)

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2303 comments #1 Page count added.
#3 Ha! Now I'm not sure as the other edition (imported by a bot) shows 408 pages!
Rivka which is correct?
#4 Page count & a couple of other missing details added.

Plates are counted if they are at the end (after the other pages), but not if they are in the middle or interspersed throughout.

They are at the end.

They are at the end."


Thanks rivka

World Cat (if you add the two page counts together) has this book at 349 pages. Rafael your page count is 404 pages. Any idea why the difference (advertisng material, excerpt from another book, blank pages at the end?


message 25: by Rafael (last edited Feb 03, 2021 10:12AM) (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments Before the "book" there are the introduction, list of abreviations, the catalogue of texts, indexes. They're 40 pages, so 40+156+193=389. My 404 was reached considering the blank pages between each section.

Are those 40 pages numbered?


message 27: by Rafael (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments In Roman numerals.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2303 comments Rafael wrote: "In Roman numerals."

We don't count those. Hilarious (considering what has gone on with this book!) but the founder of GR always said he didn't want Librarians to have to do complicated addition to add a page count.

So would 364 pages be correct? Or is there some blank pages between those Roman numeral pages & the start of the main body of text?


message 29: by Rafael (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments I guess it is correct.


message 30: by Rafael (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments The numbering was not fixed yet.

Rafael wrote: "The numbering was not fixed yet."

I can't do the numbering until you confirm this So would 364 pages be correct? Or is there some blank pages between those Roman numeral pages & the start of the main body of text?


message 32: by Rafael (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments Considering all of the discussion. 40 pages of Roman numeral contents (indexes, introduction, list of abreviations), 193 pages of main text and 156 pages of plates with 2 blank pages between the main text and the plates. My math give 391 pages. You can check here (https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpubl...), it was published by the Metropolitan Museum.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2303 comments I make it 351 pages - unless it is two pages, blank either side? Then it would be 353 pages. I have added 351 for now. :)


message 34: by Rafael (new)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1874 comments Ok. Thank you!
