The book ends at page 378, as stated in my original post. There is nothing after page 378 except the back cover. I can upload a photo if you'd like.

Hello,Please correct the page count for "True Love" by Jennifer Lopez. On Amazon, the page count is listed incorrectly at 32 pages, but it actually has 276 pages.
ISBN-10: 0451468686
ISBN-13: 978-0451468680
#156: That is bizarre, but it happens! Confirmed as 276 with WorldCat and updated! :)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...ISBN 9045102803
Please correct page count to 102 (last page is unnumbered) and add the illustrator: Peter-Paul Rauwerda
Thanks!

161-163 What is on page 296? (GR and Worldcat don't always agree on what should be counted.)
#164Worldcat is a meta library catalogue and libraries always put the last page number written on the book itself (in this case it's 295). Whereas, publishers usually count every pages. (I know because I work as a librarian)
On page 296, there is the end of the story.
So do I.GR works slightly differently. From the manual: "The number of pages in a book is meant to include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions."
Adding 296 pages.
I am currently reading through The Richest Man in Babylon, ISBN 0-451-20536-7, which is listed here as 196 pages, but my copy has 144 pages with ix-x in prefatory material.
#167: Confirmed with WorldCat and updated. :)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...ISBN: 0373249365
210 pages (If Worldcat disagrees then they are counting the preview chapter of the next book by this author.)
Also please note this as Silhouette Special Edition #1936
#171: Yep, WorldCat says 216, but have updated. :)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...ISBN: 0449224465
283 pages (If Worldcat disagrees it is because of preview chapter: One Fearful Yellow Eye.)
Also please add summary:
Helping damsels in distress is nothing new for Travis McGee--it's basically how he spends his life. But this one was different right from the start. Tossed off a bridge with cement wired to her feet, dragged to safety by Travis and Meyer, she was a hot Eurasian beauty with a cold heart...ready to snare them in a murder racket to end all murders....
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...ISBN: 0449006093
340 pages (Again this book has preview pages which should not be counted.)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...ISBN: 044630039X

#173 Completed#174 completed - WorldCat agrees with 340.
#175 Completed - WorldCat agrees with 574.#176 Completed - WorldCat agrees with 186. The title of Silhouette Romance #340 already shows when I go in to edit the details. I'm going to need a more experienced librarian to take a look at that...see why it's not showing up. I'm not sure why it isn't.

It is part of a Silhouette collection (see "imprints" in the "series" section of the manual), and not a series.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Please add summary from back cover.
BRONWYN MacARRAN WAS A PROUD SCOT.
STEPHEN MONTGOMERY WAS ONE OF THE HATED ENGLISH.
He came to Scotland as a conqueror, saw her beauty and was vanquished. But still she would abhor him.
She owned a temper hot enough to forge the armors of battle or inflame a valiant soldier's passion. Yet still she would resist him.
She became his reason to live, his reason to love. And still she would deny him.
But while clan fought against clan, while brother took up sword against brother, and the highlands ran with blood - their destiny was made...and this mighty warrior pledged himself to his woman's pride, her honor and her name - and made of their love a torch to burn through the ages!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...Can someone please fix the summary of this book.
It has random numbers throughout it.
#184 done. I replaced with the description from Amazon, as that was easier.
#184 - Done, came from an import, it was the codes for the special characters like quotes, and apostrophes.
I would like to request a change in page numbering for the book Double Tap by Hania Allen. ISBN 978-1-910449-00-4.The original entry for the paperback is 288 pages. It is actually 377.
And a photo couldn't hurt. Thank you.

Summary from back cover:
He preferred to reveal himself in private...
Caiti Kelly had a surefire way to raise funds for her favorite San Francisco charity. Sexy radio personality Griffon Falconer had agreed to have his beard shaved in public. The event was a sellout!
Then, only days away from the unveiling, Griffon suddenly claimed he'd made no such promise. He had very personal reasons for not exposing himself to his eager audience. But Caiti was determined to charm the beard off him. And when it came to a contest between his mulish resolve and her enticements, only one would be the winner... by a close shave!

I took a look at the book details again and reviewed the manual for series' and it makes complete sense now. Much appreciated.
#196: Have used the pagecount from Amazon (which we do for Kindle books, due to the variation in ereaders), which is actually listed as 299.

Edited to add: I just realized the summary is a mess.
Here is what the back cover says.
Maggie Ames had never known her beautiful, free-spirited grandmother,
Florida novelist Edith Stockman.
Yet Edith had left behind a legacy that would forever alter Maggie's life:
a package of ten-year-old letters, an enigmatic portrait and a clandestine liaison that connected her family with that of artist Luke Darby.
But her most important bequest was the haunting sensuality that Maggie began to discover within herself. A sensuality that drew Luke to her as if fate had destined them to meet... and history to repeat itself.
