The best I could tell was August but if someone knows a more specific date I can put that.

Another person posted that it was supposed to be 320 pages. Do you have the physical copy with the new cover? Page counts are often wrong on Amazon and publisher websites.

Sandra | 31653 comments The isbn has been re-used. GR assigns the isbn to the newest edition.

The edition you've listed above with that cover in the header is already in the database with that date & page number.

The new edition gets the isbn & the date the cover was changed or when we are first alerted to it.

Thomas Kobak | 6 comments Personally my physical copy goes up to 296, with the translators notes minus preview advertising and minus Roman numerals introduction

Emily | 17841 comments Thanks. Maybe the other person is thinking of another book.
If the translator's notes are at the end, how many pages is that?
