Hi there. These two are obviously the same book - its just the way the series designation is done that's different - but they aren't joined together: I think it's the series designation. Could someone join them together? Thank you.

Actually, the ISBN for the paperback matched the ebook entry on GR. All other details matched also, so I changed the format to paperback. Per Amazon, only a Kindle and paperback editions are available.

I am unsure if this impacts the SRC challenge or not. But the audiobook I just "read" has the description of a different book on its GR homepage. Check out:

Every Breath You Take: A True Story of Obsession, Revenge, and Murder

compared to:

Every Breath You Take: A True Story of Obsession, Revenge, and Murder.

Can a librarian change this to make the description fit the audiobook?

I don't have a copy of this (mine are all individual titles), but my library system does, so I ordered the copy held by another library. It should arrive in a few days and I can provide that information then, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

[KSMary]

Can I request that someone correct the page number count for Being the Change: How to Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution? The paperback version has 384 pages. I have linked Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Being-Change-S... to verify and I can also link the info from my library if needed.

Thanks!

Worldcat (GR preferred source for page counts) says that ISBN has 307 pages. (GR uses Amazon for Createspace books and Kindle books since Amazon is more or less the printer of those.) However, I have occasionally caught Worldcat in error. Do you have the actual book and can you verify what is on pages 308-384?

I already made the adjustment based on pretty solid evidence.

I don't have the book itself in hand, but I'm looking at a table of contents from one of the local libraries - the last section of end-matter starts on p. 370 with at least 11 roman-numbered pages of front-matter - this is consistent with the page data on Amazon. The record doesn't otherwise have a page count. Another local library doesn't have the table of contents (same book by the ISBN) but lists it as 369 pages. Without actually having the book in hand (and knowing that library page counts vary wildly even for the same book), the table of contents is a pretty solid indicator.

I could see reducing the page count for the index and the last two items, because few people would actually read those, but the end notes are part of the text, leaving (conservatively, if you reject the front-matter even though many people read the preface) at least 360 pages.

Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say Worldcat got this one wrong.

Thank you! I am using this for a challenge that requires a certain page count and the difference of 100 pages made the difference between being able to be used or not.

It looks like Worldcat did miss on this one. I wish there was a way to communicate such to them when I find it in my own research, but I haven't found a way yet. However, unless GR has changed the Librarian Manual (I haven't checked), the roman numeral pages are not counted but the end stuff would be.

It's a pity that they make that call, although I understand they need to have something simple and consistent to apply, because publishers are themelves quite inconsistent on this count. Some start the numbering with the introduction, some do not - and it doesn't seem to matter if the introduction was written by the author or someone else. Most do skip the TOC and the preface, however.

Afternoon. Me again, I'm afraid.

I'm looking for a paperback version of State Techonics by Malka Ann Older. I've found one with no cover picture - while the top one that comes up in a search has the same page count as the coverless one, but doesn't have any details on ISBN or what kind of edition it is (HB, PB, ebook, etc)

I suspect they're actually two halves of the same book, as it were, so I wondered if they should be joined together.

WorldCat also does NOT have this ISBN. Please check your actual item and verify that is the correct one. I did find another mmpb edition, with another ISBN.

Since Amazon only shows 2 editions (one paperback, one Kindle), I updated the unidentified edition with the paperback details.

[Book Concierge]

Could someone correct the page numbers on this edition


I have this edition in my hands. Have verified that the ISBN is the same.

It has 278 pages.

Thank you, in advance.

[Book Concierge]

And these editions need to be combined ... AND, the series name dropped from the title and properly listed as a series name.

A Deadly Deception

and

A Deadly Deception: A Constance Piper Mystery


The first two books in the series are shown here: Constance Piper Mystery Series

When I search by ISBN: 9780316211222

Which shows NO ISBN in the Goodreads record.

Don't know if the wrong ISBN/cover were attached, or if there are alternate covers.

Thanks for your help.

They should be fine now - two different author profiles for the same person needed to be merged and then the editions combined.

Android for Dummies doesn't have a page count in GR.

Amazon says 384 pages.
My book in hand has the table of contents going to xv, then a blank page, followed by pages 1-366, and then two unnumbered pages "About the Author" and "Publisher's Acknowledgements". (This adds up to 384.)

I'm not sure whether this should be 366 or 384, but can a librarian please add a page count.

Per the GR Librarian Manual, the roman numeral pages do not count - the correct page count is 366.

This also agrees with the Worldcat record.
