Drace (dracenines) | 7514 comments I've found several different books that have missing page counts that need to be added. Several of them are ebooks; because the publisher website is the only valid source for ebook page numbering, I have linked the publisher's page for the ebooks when able to.

Where Furnaces Burn (ISBN 9781914391095): 296 pages (source: Amazon page for the book, https://amzn.eu/d/fqsiTzZ)

Collision: Stories (ISBN 9781946154187): 220 pages (source: Publisher website, https://meerkat-press-shop.fourthwall...)

Velocities (ISBN 9781946154248): 160 pages (source: Publisher website, https://meerkat-press-shop.fourthwall...)

In Ascension (ISBN 9780802163462): 512 pages (source: Publisher website, https://groveatlantic.com/book/in-asc...)

The final two books are a bit more complicated.

Drug Cartels Do Not Exist: Narcotrafficking in US and Mexican Culture (ISBN 9780826504692): 193 pages. This specific ISBN is for a PDF format ebook. Unlike epubs and Kindle editions, PDF files cannot have the size of their font changed, and therefore a PDF ebook has a specific page number that cannot be changed by the reader changing the formatting of the book. I have access to this specific ebook through my college library and can confirm the 193 page count. I can provide a screencap of the page count from the ebook reader website I access through my university if needed.

Drug Cartels Do Not Exist: Narcotrafficking in US and Mexican Culture (ISBN 9780826504685): 193 pages. This is the epub version of the book. The publisher's website states that it has 206 pages, but this is incorrect. The PDF version is also listed as 206 pages, but this is not counting introductory material that is numbered with Roman numerals, which by Goodreads standards do not count towards the final page count. Because both editions have the same text, we can extrapolate that both editions have 193 pages. (If this is not enough favor in evidence of an epub edition page count, I understand, and it doesn't need to be added. However, the PDF page count still stands.)

Thanks to anyone who can help with these.

Hi Drace

This has probably been skipped over because of #5 in this thread
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Personally, I won't do requests where there are more than 5 in a post. & I don't do ebook page requests.

If you edit your request to just have the first five & number them I can look at it later on.

I'd recommend given the ebooks there own thread - maybe give each book it's own post. :)

Bruno Rodrigues | 14499 comments I added all but the last.
I really don't feel confortable inserting a different page number from what is stated at the publisher site. Not even when I have the physical book in my hand....

I would take Christmas Carol's advice, and 'undense' your post. Maybe editing it just to leave only the unattended request.
