This edition has been on Goodreads since 2012. It is best to search by ISBN or ISBN13 before making a request. :)

ABE books is a site I can use for the cover, but can you change to a view where I can see the ISBN? I have to check they match.

For some reason the page count was deleted but it was 447 - same as on World cat. Can you tell me what is on pages 448-464 of your copy. Some things we count & some things we don't

I've added your date of publication.

Samantha (samavtha) | 10 comments Ohhh, I see! Sorry about that, I've taken note of this for next time! :)

Please find a link to the ABE books site with ISBN here:

The correct page count is indeed 447 - I read the ebook available on archive.org, and mistakenly used their page count (which includes cover, glossar, and some empty pages).

Thank you so much for your help with this, and again my apologies!
