Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1358 comments "The Destroyer of Worlds" by Matt Ruff
New Hardcover by Harper
ISBN: 9780063256897 (ISBN10: 0063256894)
(This one --> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...)

Please correct the page count to 305.

I am currently reading this book from the library. Here is what is at the end of the book:
- The story ends on page #301
- Un-numbered blank page (but would be #302)
- Acknowledgements - un-numbered, but would be #303
- Un-numbered blank page (but would be #304)
- "About the Author" page - un-numbered, but would be #305
- There is only a couple blank pages after that.

According to the Librarian Manual, Acknowledgements and “About the Author” pages are counted in the page count even if un-numbered, so the page count should be 305. So please correct the page count to 305.

WorldCat lists the page count as 301 because that is the last numbered page (https://www.worldcat.org/title/132107...), but again, the Librarian Manual counts Acknowledgements and "About the Author" pages, so please correct the page count to 305.

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