Gillis | 182 comments Hi Sarah, Worldcat, our preferred source for pagecount, says this book has 606 pages - Goodreads currently lists608 pages.
What is on page 607/608?

The number of pages in a book is meant to include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.

Sarah Roovers (sarah_roovers) | 142 comments @Gillis, I know how the page count works. I’m a librarian in real life.
Online sources can’t always be trusted, that’s why I mention that the book is in my hands 🥰

The last page is 607. The last words of the author are on this page.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2323 comments Just for everyone's information, World cat quite often doesn't count the last page. So if it says 606 the page count is likely to be 607.

Sarah Roovers (sarah_roovers) | 142 comments Indeed. Thank you Carol 🫶🏻
Wish I could do edits myself, but while I passed the quiz multiple times, Goodreads doesn’t need more librarians apparently.

Have a good day today !

Page count corrected. 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.

& mysterious are the processes about granting librarian status! I got mine under the old system on my second try - - very few seem to get it the first time. :)

Sarah Roovers (sarah_roovers) | 142 comments Thank you so much. Added DONE to the title and clicked on the archived thing 🥰

And right? I did it more than 21 times now, and passed every time, but I gave up now 😂

Apparently Goodreads have enough librarians 🥰
