Page count should not be taken from Amazon for print books when WorldCat has one. Edited to 337 as per WorldCat.

Please also note that ISBN (or ASIN) is always required when making page count requests.

Noted that Worldcat has the last word (AH!). As for ISBN, I used the one from the Amazon Page, which is why I didn't ask for it.

Actually, book-in-hand (with confirmation of details from the user, if necessary) is the best option for paperback/hardcover books. But WorldCat is far more likely to be the same (or off by one page) as the page count Goodreads policy determines. Amazon is likely to count blank pages and/or be a pre-publication estimate, and publisher counts vary (but again, for ebooks are the only option). For Kindle editions we have to use the Amazon count, but for paperback/hardcover books we have better options.
