Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1363 comments "The Amethyst Kingdom" by A.K. Mulford
New Hardcover by Harper Voyager
ISBN: 9780063388482 (ISBN10: 0063388480)
(This one --> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

Please correct page count to 333.

I'm currently reading this book from the library, and here is what is at the end of the book:
- Story ends on page #330
- Acknowledgements - pages #331-332
- Preview chapter from the author's next book - pages #333-339
- Blank page - un-numbered
- "About the Author" page - un-numbered
- Ad page for other books by the author.
- Only a blank page after that.

The Librarian Guidelines say to include end materials like Acknowledgements and "About the Author" pages in the page count - but not to count chapters from other book or ads. So please correct the page count to 333 to include everything up to the Acknowledgements, plus one for the "About the Author" page.

WorldCat lists the page count as 339 because that is the last numbered page (https://search.worldcat.org/title/142...), but again - see the above paragraph for an explanation of why the page count should be 333 according to the Librarian Guidelines.

Please let me know if you need any other information from me.
Thanks for your help!

I've added 332 pages as generally we add the About the Author but when an excerpt is in between, we don't. Otherwise we'd be including the first page of the excerpt.

ETA: It will take a little while to show correctly, due to caching.


Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1363 comments Thanks for the info. I'll remember that going forward.

Thanks, Sandra!
