[Done] Page count request

[Stian]

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Goodreads has this book listed with a page count of "1", obviously not correct.
The correct page count is 254.

ISBN
9788271288242

https://www.ark.no/produkt/boker/doku...

If you click "Produktinformasjon" and have a look at "Antall sider"(number of pages) its listed as 254.

Thank you.

...might I also add that the extension of the title is also missing:
It should be "Kniksen. Født til fotball".

Source: I have a library edition of the book in my lap.

Hi Stian
I just want to check that the way you have written the subtitle is correct as I don't speak Norwegian. Or should it be like it is on the book cover - all lower case.

Your link appears to be a bookseller & other than Amazon & Abebooks we aren't allowed to use them for information. World Cat which I am allowed to use doesn't have this title. But if you can assure me that your count doesn't include advertising material, an extract from another book or blank pages right at the end, I'll be happy to add this for you.

Hi,
I wanted to add the number page to a book which doesn't.
It is "Manfred hat eine andere", ISBN: 9788461607709.
Here is the link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The actuall number page is: 90
Here it is in "Ficha técnica": https://www.todostuslibros.com/libros...

Thank you so much!

Hi Carol!

Thanks for looking into this.
You're very thorough (good!), and make a good point about the subtitle; and as far as I can establish it is indeed written in all lower case...I added the upper case in the first word out of habit I guess, looks more tidy! :-P

And yes the link is from a bookstore, as I couldn't find an entry on World Cat, but figured I had to add...something?
I've returned the book to the library by now, but I can assure you that it didn't have any excerpts from other works at the end or advertisements of any kind, it was quite "clean", no extra fluff.

Thank you :)

Hi
Page count changed. Since you seem uncertain how the subtitle would normally be added in Norwegian, I have gone with how it appears on the cover.

& if you could supply a short description of the book I can add that.

[Stian]

Thanks! :)

Its not that I'm uncertain, but its how the author/publisher has preferred it, so lets go with that.

Short description, in English or Norwegian?
...I doubt this will be be translated into other language, despite some interest in Scotland for the player.

"Boken forteller historien om Roald Jensen, bedre kjent som Kniksen.
Han fikk sin første fotball på fireårsdagen, og han spilte på juniorlandslaget som 16-åring i 1959.
Han skapte norsk fotballhistorie da han stort sett på egen hånd slo svenskene 3–1 på Ullevaal som 17-åring i 1960. Kampen som sammen med Branns to seriemesterskap i 1962 og 1963 gjorde ham legendarisk.
Han var på Nordens lag mot Europa. Året etter ble han proff i Skottland. Han ble norsk cupmester og spilte 31 A-landskamper. Kanskje Norges beste fotballspiller gjennom alle tider?"

That's a truncated version of the summary provided by the publisher.

Thank you. Book descriptions should always be in the language the book is written in.

Added. Please allow at least 20 minutes for the change to display.

Thank you again :)

And duly noted (makes sense though).

I took a while for this request to go through, somewhat amazing that a service like this is ruled by chance(if/when requests are seen) and volunteer work...
Not a criticism of *you* or the other librarians here, but its just something that I find...strange.

I just find errors on listings like this annoying, whether its page counts, missing subtitles or cover images, so its cool that someone uses their time to fix such things :)

I'll go ahead and edit the title/subject of this thread then.
