Caitlin (bookchats) | 31 comments Hello! I think the page number for this is based on the total number of pages bound regardless of if they are the unnumbered front pages or the blank pages at the end of the book. If you're counting only to the final page with text (an "About the Type" page) and using the book's page numbers it's actually got 303 pages.

Hi Caitlin

World cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) has this one at 300 pages. Would this be the page count without the about the type page?

Thanks Carol!

It's unnumbered but there's a single page "about the author" on what would be page 301. Not sure how y'all or WorldCat would handle that.

We would count that. Page count changed to 301. Please allow at least 20 minutes for the changes to display (much) longer if using the app.
