Karen | 87 comments My (library) copy of Nana does not appear in the Goodreads editions. I found it in WorldCat with the OCLC# 1296976415. The reason this is important is that the page number is correct in WorldCat at 545 pages (Modern Library Edition)

Rosemarie, this edition says 432 pages. So the group total would be 81,100.
I'll take it as 81,100. If I'm mistaken, you can edit the total.

Piyangie, my edition has the same cover but only has 402 pages, not including the introduction, which is xxv pages long. The total is 427, so I'll adjust it by 12.

81 520 is the new total.
