Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1342 comments Please correct the page number on "Nettle & Bone" to 245.

"Nettle & Bone" by T. Kingfisher"
Brand New Hardback Edition
ISBN: 1250244048 (ISBN13: 9781250244048)
(This one --> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...)

The final numbered page is #243, and that includes all the text of the book plus an Author's Note. The "About the Author" is on an unnumbered page after that, but it would be 245 if it was numbered. And then there is only a blank page after that.

Please let me know if you need any other information from me.
Thanks for your help!

Pablo (pablox) | 56 comments corrected, it should be 243:

Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1342 comments Ok, but the manual says the page count is supposed to include all content of the book, including end material such as "acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions."

And I've provided other suggested corrections where they counted the unnumbered "About the Author" page (like here --> https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...). Which is why I counted here, too.

lethe | 16359 comments You are right, Abigail. Corrected to 245.

(The only time we do not include the 'About the Author' is when it is preceded by adverts or previews of other books.)


Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1342 comments Thank you for your help!

I'm glad to learn new things to make sure my suggested corrections are consistent with the rules.
