Thank you so much! :D
Please could a Librarian add the page numbers for this edition of A Long Way From Home? I have it from the library and there are 357 pages, although Amazon has it listed as 368.Many thanks.

Currently I have put in the Worldcat count.

OK. Acknowledgements are included in page count per Librarian manual, so I will leave it with the Worldcat number.

Someone has already done this.
Would someone please add the paperback edition of HARD ROLL: A Paramedic's Perspective of Life and Death in New Orleans including the page number? Here's the Worldcat page without a page number listed that I can see: https://www.worldcat.org/title/hard-r...
Here's the Amazon page with 256 pages listed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06...
My copy does have 256 pages.
Thanks. I hope I've given enough information.
How do you get a book added that is not in GR and has no ISBN? The book is Last Translations Three Stories by Vsevolod Garshin published by Colorado Quarterly in Feb 1979. Thanks!

Is it the one you wanted?
Maybe someone can straighten out this book's editions.With Hemingway: A Year in Key West and Cuba by Arnold Samuelson
The cover image shown for this edition is a totally DIFFERENT book! (Hemingway in Cuba by Hillary Hemingway
I have in my hand a FIRST EDITION of Samuelson's book.
183 pg, with a cover that is very similar to THIS paperback edition
BUT, with a background color that is more gray/green, with the photo tilted slightly at an angle, and with the title written in RED and in cursive.
The isbn is 0-394-53983-4. On the page with publisher info, copyright, etc there is also this notation:
Manufactured in the United States of America
98765432
First Edition
You might also add that the introduction/foreward is written by Diane Darby (who actually holds the copyright).
I don't have a smart phone so I can't upload a photo of the cover. Using the paperback edition cover would be an improvement over using the cover of a totally different book!
Thank you in advance for any help.

I just knew that, if I ignored this request, it would wait until I was ready to tackle it! And, so it did.
Book Concierge, I could not use your cover from Library Thing as that is not an approved site for covers. However, I did find it on AbeBooks, which is approved. It was amazing to me how many places (including Worldcat) had the wrong book cover.

Thanks so much for persevering, Bea! I also noticed the incorrect cover on WorldCat ... Not to take anything away from Hilary Hemingway's book, but still....
Hi, could someone add a page count please?The Passengers
According to the publisher's website it's 344 pages - https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/...
Hi, Meg. Thank you for looking up the publisher site, however, sometimes the publisher includes all pages including ad pages and next book chapters. GR prefers Worldcat as a source since their count of pages is most closely aligned with GR standards. Worldcat has 336 pages. So I will add that.Do you have the book in hand? If so, can you confirm what the odd 8 pages contain?
I have an advanced copy of Things Bright and Beautiful which i would like to use for a task but it has no page numbers on GR. Are you able to help?It is not for a task with page requirements

Bring Me Backi have seen a paperback edition of this in a bookshop today - the first pub date cannot be right - it says June 2018
Can the 1st published date on this book be corrected?I have a signed hardcover 1st edition with a copyright of 2008.
THIS edition in goodreads matches the book in my hands as far as ISBN and page count, but has a publication date of MAY 2008
MY book was signed on 26 April 2008; author was on the book tour for the new release.
THIS edition in goodreads has different ISBN but has the correct first published date: 22Apr2008
Please correct 1st published date to 22April2008
Thank you in advance.
Please could the page numbers be added to Banana Coconut Murder?I read the kindle edition so don't have the book in hand. It doesn't seem to be on WorldCat, but Amazon lists 210 pages.
Thanks so much.
Can someone correct the SETTING for this book
Currently it states: Gilead IOWA
It is actually set in Gilead TEXAS

Done. Actually that is the first time I have done this type of correction. Thanks for the learning.
I think this "first published" date is in error; currently shown as Dec 6, 2004I have the first edition in my hands with a copyright of 2005
Shows a publication date of Feb 1, 2005. I believe this IS the first published date as well. I could find no edition published earlier. (Although there were clearly ARCs available because Publishers Weekly had a review in late 2004. )
Can someone fix the subtitle of this editionHow We Got Here: The 70s The Decade That Brought You Modern Life -- For Better Or Worse: The 70s - The Decade That Brought You Modern Life - For Better or Worse
Here's the hardcover edition for comparison
How We Got Here: The 1970s: The Decade That Brought You Modern Life
---EDIT----
Well, now that I look at it the hardcover is wrong as well! ... not to mention other editions.
Looking at the actual cover of the book, the title should be:
How We Got Here: The 70's: The Decade That Brought You Modern Life -- For Better or Worse
Thanks
Please could a first published date be added to Green Days by the River?I have the book in hand, and the copyright information inside states:

Actually, GR has the first pub date now showing as March 1, 2018, which is the publication date of the paperback. All the other editions are showing June 19, 2018, expected publication date. As I can find nothing to correct that date, I have left this request alone.

I think I have caught this thread up to date with requests; however, if I have not, please bump your request up.
Please could these two separate entries be combined:Freeze Frame - kindle edition
Freeze Frame (Killer Shots Mysteries) - paperback
It seems obvious (to me) that they are the same book.
Thanks.

Thanks, Bea .... The subtitle wasn't important for any of my tasks, but when I saw that mishmash of subtitle it just about drove me nuts.
