The last page of the paperback copy of this book is the last page of the afterword, which is p209. There are only blank pages after that. Source is the copy in my hands.

(I think the current page count is including the various introductions etc which are numbered with Roman numerals before the main page numbering starts)

Thanks in advance!

Ross Maclean (ross_maclean) | 545 comments I have now added a source for this, as WorldCat is also showing the incorrect information.

Attached is a photo showing the first page of the Afterword from my paperback copy: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

And a second photo showing the final page of text (the end of the Afterword). There are only blank pages after this: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

Hope this helps clarify.

Ross Maclean (ross_maclean) | 545 comments Hi, Greg, sorry, one last issue with the book I just noticed.

For some reason it shows the 'First published' date of this edition as February 1, 1972 but WorldCat shows earlier editions from 1971 (and even the first line of the description on the book and on here says "A tragi-comedy published in 1971": https://search.worldcat.org/title/246706

Even this edition on Goodreads seems to show a published date earlier than the 'First published' date: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Greg | 9987 comments Hi Ross,

I've corrected the "First published" date to January 1, 1971.
