Thank you"
Hi Michelle
I'm puzzled by why you were given that link since you have provided the ISBN.
Anyway, World cat has a different cover for this one & doesn't give a page count. Can you tell me what is on pages 388-389 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Looks like I'd better stop doing page counts.
Added 389 pages for you Michelle. Please allow 20 minutes for the change to display, much longer if you are using the app.
To help volunteer librarians could you write [done] or similar in the title of the thread.
Worldcat doesn't always use the correct covers for the isbns.That's why we aren't allowed to use Worldcat as a source for covers.

??? I've never added a cover from World Cat - even when we were allowed. But I felt that I should double check.
I'm really puzzled that this is bothering you both when I am seeing so many dead tree page counts done without the requester supplying the ISBN, accepting the page count without question, using Amazon & publisher page counts when they are quite often just estimates & so on.
& like I said, I won't do page counts other than for my own records now.
