WorldCat is saying the book has 303 pages... Does your edition have 339?

[Sarah]

It technically has 343 pages. But those extra pages are just about other books by the author.

Based off of what you've written and the number of pages listed on the book's Amazon page, I've changed the page number from 303 to 349. If you have another reliable source to back up your claim, please post it here.

It seems to me the page count should be changed to 339 as per Sarah's request, not 349. Amazon is not a reliable source for page counts, except for Kindle editions. Book in hand trumps even Worldcat.

Apologies... Based off of what I've read in the Librarian Manual, I was led to believe that Amazon was a reliable source for book covers and other page data (such as page counts) since they now own Goodreads. (Source would be the link I originally shared.)

I see your point about book in hand though and have changed the count to 339. I have only been a "Goodreads Librarian" for a few weeks (after applying months ago) and don't yet have the knowledge that years of experience have given you, lethe… Thank you for the correction.

Aw, thank you, and no worries, Ellen. We were all new once, and I'm sure you'll make a fine librarian. You participate in the Librarians Group and you read the Manual, that's already two big pluses :)
