Reed (reedsreads) | 35 comments The 25th anniversary edition of this book (ISBN 9780385480017, which is unhelpfully the same as the first edition) is missing the ISBN in its listing on Goodreads and has an incorrect page count. Goodreads shows this edition has 256 pages, but it has 222 pages (confirmed by WorldCat at https://www.worldcat.org/title/bird-b...).

The problem is that when you look the ISBN up, it will direct you to a different edition of the book with a different cover and page count. You'll have to manually go in to find the right edition (again, the 25th anniversary edition published by Anchor, currently listed with 256 pages).

If someone could correct the page count AND add the ISBN, that would be wonderful. Thank you!

Emily | 17487 comments I'm guessing this is the edition you're referring to:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
So I have moved the ISBNs to it and edited the page count. I will make a note on the editions that they use the same ISBN.


Reed (reedsreads) | 35 comments Yes, that's it! Thank you, Emily! I really appreciate your help.
