Jeff (murainman) | 14 comments Please add page count. 512 pages in this edition. Published 1919, no ISBN available.

Also, can "[Salesman's Sample]" be removed from the title? Not sure if that's allowed.

Thank you!

Hi Jeff

In future could you please requests edits to a book record that has so much visibly wrong with it in the Book Issues folder?

I've fixed what I can but I have a few questions.

World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) has this one at 447 pages. Can you tell me what (if anything) is on pages 448-512? Some things we count & some things we don't.

How does the author name appear on your book?

World cat has the publisher as Homewood Press. Which is correct?

This edition is called a first edition on the Goodreads page but it was published 1919 & Goodreads has the first publication date as 1910. Again, which is correct?

Hey Carol!

The true page count is 448. I was wrong. The final page is numbered 512 to account for illustrations throughout the book.

Author name appears:
Thomas H. Russell, LL. D.

Publisher: Not found.

Edition:
This is a Memorial Edition, published after the subject's death in 1919. I see dates throughout the book later than 1910.

Thank you. I will look for the Book Issues folder in the future, when appropriate.

Jeff (murainman) | 14 comments The copyright says 1919 by L. H. Walter. I don't think that means the publisher?

Roosevelt died on January 6, so publication would not have been January 1, but I see no other details.
