WorldCat is the preferred source for page counts for printed books and they have this one listed with 244 pages.

Do you have the book in hand? What is on pages 245 through 256? Some things we can count and others we cannot.

Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.

We don’t count the pages used for advertisements, preview chapters for other books or introductory material paged using roman numerals.

Thanks.

Evan | 4 comments Hi Greg,

Thanks for the tidbit regarding WorldCat and the included page count materials. I've consulted the site and it looks like 244 is in fact the correct page count.

I've reported the Amazon listing as partially incorrect and included the WorldCat source.

Thanks,

Evan
