Joe | 3726 comments No, it is 375 pages. There's nothing but an advertisement for the next book after that.

Book in hand is considered more reliable source but ISBN not matching indicates you may have different edition.
ISBN in post 9780241671252
ISBN gr book 9780241586143 (linked in your post)

Your ISBN seems to be for Waterstones Exclusive Edition

Sorry, I know this is frustrating but the ISBN not matching the edition listed is a problem. Librarians can't change ISBN.
ISBN 9780241586143 is for Penguin edition

ETA: I looked at change log. ISBN was changed by Goodreads employee so I'm bowing out. Sorry.

Joe | 3726 comments So who can sort this out?

Since staff is already involved I think it might be best to let them handle it.
Contact us.

Staff are able to make sure both editions are on Goodreads with correct information including ISBN.

I suggest you include link to this thread.


message 13: by Joe (new)

Joe | 3726 comments Okay, it has been sorted.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
but the original reason for this thread was to correct the page number which is 375 pages.
978-0-241-67125-2
I own this book.
