Conor | 14 comments This request is specifically for the edition with ISBN number 9780631153375 (Goodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...). The current page number is set to 0; it should be 276. The copy I have in my possession is the 1988 Basil Blackwell reprint, where the numbered page count is 276.

WorldCat has dozens of pages for this book. Simply searching the ISBN gives 3 results (https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=...). The first two also have multiple formats/editions listed. Unfortunately, selecting "View All Formats & Editions" for the first result returns 16 results (of which 2 are ebooks), and not all of them have the same ISBN listed: https://search.worldcat.org/formats-e.... All but 3 of the 14 print books have 276 pages listed; 1 is from 1993 and has 303 pages; another states "320 unnumbered pages" (it also does not share the same ISBN number as the book in question); the remaining does not provide a page count.

The second result in the initial ISBN search returns 3 entries in "View All Formats & Editions". 1 lists the page count as 276 (same ISBN); another has no page number listed; the remaining page is for a 1993 edition (no ISBN listed) and lists the page count as "320 unnumbered pages".

In summary: the overwhelming majority of the pages returned on WorldCat list the page number as 276, and the ones that do are the most consistent with the year of publication listed on Goodreads, the physical copy I am referring to, and the ISBN number.
