STILL NOT DONE Add page count

Hi!

The following book is missing his page count, which is 215 pages.

Still not done.

I just attempted to add this page count. The system would not let me save the page count because there is something in the DESCRIPTION that violates GR policy against having external links. So that's a larger issue.
As I am not fluent in FRENCH, I am going to let another GR librarian take a look.
Sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks for the try!

If no one else tackles this soon, you might try a new request, but mention "French Language" in the subject line, so that a French speaker sees it. Feel free to copy my notes from above into that new request, if that helps.

Ok, I will look at this, but I will mention that everything is very behind in this group & yesterday I was still working on page count requests from the 3rd of December.

World cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) only has this as an ebook. Unfortunately some publishers do use the same ISBN for ebooks & dead tree books. Amazon (not the best source for dead tree books) does have this one, but doesn't have a page count.

But if you can assure me that your page count doesn't include advertising material, an extract from another book or blank pages right at the end I'll be happy to (try to) add it for you.

A quick look at the description looks like some of the coding may have been picked up as an attempt to add a link in the description - which isn't allowed.

But I will wait for your answer before trying to fix that.

Thanks Christmas! There is no promotional material in the page count, it is good to go!

Ok page count added. Please allow at 20 minutes for the changes to display - (much) longer if you are using the app.

To help volunteer librarians, could you add [done] or similar to the title of your thread.

For the other librarian, the problem is that the full stops didn't all have a space before the capital letter in the next sentence. GR picks that up as potential spam. :)

Thanks, Christmas Carol!
That was my guess, that there were not spaces after final punctuation, but I thought I had better defer, since I could not read the language the Description was written in. 🙂
Thanks for taking this one!

That's ok. I have had this happen to me quite a few times when editing descriptions, so that is how I knew about it. :)
