I'm doing some of the old page count requests & I am only up to the 27th of Feb.
Up (again).Sorry for the first time. It was an update with the link for the book in Good reads.

Hi Joao
It pays to just edit your original post then. Everything is so behind now, that often when a librarian sees there are two posts they will assume that another librarian is answering the query.
& unfortunately you have picked one of the dud entries from one of the Crazy Bots.
Two tips;
1. If your book has more wrong with it then a missing page count it pays to post in the Book & Author Pages Issues folder. Most page counts are done by new librarians or librarians without much spare time & this could be why your request was skipped over.
2. When you know it, it is best to search by ISBN. Here is your edition

It has quite a big page count difference though & World cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) doesn't give a page count for this one. Can you tell me what (if anything) is on pages 354-554? some things we count & some things we don't.

Photographs following 78
177
Thanks for the detailed breakdown Joao. We would count the photos as long as they were relevant to the book - I'm just wondering what the 177 att eh end refers to.
The photographs are printed after page 177, and for some reason that is how they wrote in the book table of contents.

Page count added & title fields corrected. Please allow at least 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 tile of this thread.
The link works great on the app as well. For some reason the edition i’m tagged as reading has only updated the author, not the page number.

Another librarian told me I should correct the author before marking as invalid
Is there a reason why you can't use the edition I have linked to in Message #5? They look identical to me & it has your ISBN.
Now it is all corrected. I’ve changed the issue I’m reading and other editions are all bundled together now!Thank you for the hassle.

Its no problem.
But a lot of these Unknown Author entries are from the crazy bots.
