Lisa | 17 comments Hi!
When checking my year overview of books, I noticed that Lydia Davis' essays had become strangely short: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4....
It says 41 pages, but the book has 416!
ISBN: 9789025457082
Publisher website: https://www.atlascontact.nl/boek/de-s....

Could you adjust the information? Thanks!
Best regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa
World Cat (our preferred site for confirming page counts) has this one at 408 pages. Can you tell me what (if anything) is on pages 409-416 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Lisa | 17 comments Hi Carol (or is it really Christmas Carol?),
Thanks for your reply :-) Actually, my copy has 412 pages. Strange.

The essays go on until page 395. At page 397-400 there's a list of notes and sources.
p. 401: sources of illustrations
403-404: english sources
405-408: afterword+bibliography of the (dutch) translators
409-412: illustrations (color prints of paintings mentioned in text)

Page count of 412 pages added. Please allow at least 20 minutes for the change to display (much) longer if using the app.

& would help volunteer librarians if you could add[done] or similar to the title of your thread.
