Eman (emanzo) | 2 comments The number of pages is wrongly entered for The Two Towers, 971 pages instead of 439. (ISBN13: 9780008264079)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The page numbers follow those of The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the first part of The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship of the ring ends on page # 531 and the Two Towers starts on page # 532, therefore the Two Towers cannot have 971 pages, but 439

lethe | 16359 comments On Goodreads, it doesn't matter whether the text starts at page 1, page 20, or in this case, 532. What matters is the number of the last page of text belonging to the book, so including indices, bibliographies and such, but excluding previews or adverts for other books.

Therefore, 971 pages is correct.

See https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... (specifically the last paragraph).
