Synful (synfulmusings) | 56 comments A book I own shows on Goodreads with 12 more pages than it has. It's currently listed as having 384 pages when it's actually numbered 1-372.

It looks like someone counted pages before numbering starts at Chapter 1, i.e. the 12 pages from the title page through: table of contents, maps, and introduction (numbered with roman numerals). Numbering starts with page 1 at Chapter 1 and ends with 372 on the last page of the index.

Book details:

If the page count can be updated from 384 to 372, I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Hi Synful

This book doesn't have a page count on World cat, but I agree with your likely explanantion, so I have updated.

Done. Please allow 20 minutes for the changes to display (much) longer if you are using the app.

To help volunteer librarians please add [done] or similar to the thread title. This is only possible in the desktop view
