Hi,
Can someone either add page numbers to paperback editions or approve for length for this series?
GR has a paperback edition, but needs pg numbers:
Mister Billions
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Mister-Billion...
Mister Baller
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Mister-Baller-...
GR only has Kindle edition: I guess these need the paperback edition added?
Mister Baby Daddy
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Mister-Baby-Da...
Mister Bossy

Most of this was done. I added the cover to the two new paperbacks...and a detail or so to all of them.

Today I added publisher, page count, and language from Amazon to the paperback. It should be noted that, although the paperback matches in ISBN and ASIN, the cover does not match what currently shows on Amazon.

Sarah, that edition already exists. Scroll down on main book page and click on "Show all 47 editions". On that edition screen, click on "format" and choose "audiobook". When the list of audiobooks come up, you will find the newest one shown on Amazon as the second one. Hope that helps.
Could you add a print edition for this book?Die Schattenbrücke – Am Ende der Welt: Roman
The book has a print edition. It can be found here:
https://www.piper.de/buecher/die-scha...
and here:
https://www.amazon.de/Die-Schattenbr%...
Both links show the ISBN for the print edition. Thanks!!!

Added from the Amazon link.
Morning.Would it be possible for a Librarian to add a GR description and some location information to: The Cold Heart of Capricorn? The location is San Diego, California.
Both Fantastic Fiction (https://www.fantasticfiction.com/l/ma...) and Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cold-Heart-C...) have the following:
"This is the second mystery thriller to feature Californian private investigator and parapsychologist Dr Elizabeth Chase. In this novel her adversary is a brutal rapist with his own paranormal powers."
The specific (British) edition I have is The Cold Heart of Capricorn. It's missing a cover image in GR, but it matches the one on the Amazon link, above, if it can be added. Plus, it has a more detailed description:
"The San Diego rapist claimes his latest victim on a cold rainy Monday morning in January - and the police finally admit that they need Elizabeth Chase's psychic talents to track him down.
But when Elizabeth joins their team she can get only frustrating glimpses of the cold, ruthless man who has raped at least four women. And the attacks are turning deadly...
Then Elizabeth turns to hypnosis, hoping to find leads in the victims' repressed memories of the crimes.The subconscious clues at last bring her closer to the rapist.
Too close."
Thanks!

Trish, I added description, page count, and language to the link of your copy. And, I made the description the default one so that it will show on other editions. None of the sources I used ~Worldcat or Amazon ~had your description, so I used what I had from the ones I accessed.
Regarding the cover. I understood that your cover is the one showing the constellation. However, per Amazon and Worldcat, that cover is only on the Mass Market Paperback, which does not meet the ISBN of your book. So I did not add it. I suspect that it is an alternate cover and an alternate cover edition would need to be made for it. But, without knowing for sure, I chose not to do so. Sorry.
Thanks for adding the other details, especially the link to San Diego.For the cover, the edition I have is the New English Library one (the PB imprint of Hodder and Stoughton at the time), which has definitely has the police badge on it, as per the Amazon link I sent you. The trouble is, it's sufficiently old that it only has a 10-digit ISBN: 0-340-66573-4.
I must have sent you GR's 10-digit to 13-digit extrapolation one - for which I apologise for the confusion. I managed to put the 10-digit one into WorldCat, and got this: https://www.worldcat.org/title/596250...

I thought it was the one with the sky showing. Oh, well. I have added this one from Amazon since it matches the Worldcat listing which does match the ISBN.
Miss Georgiana and the Dragon only has the Kindle edition listed.Please add paperback edition from Amazon:

(I'm planning to read the Kindle edition, but would like to use it in a two-book task that has a minimum total page count requirement.)

Would someone be able to add a page count to August Kitko and the Mechas from Space: Starmetal Symphony, Book 1? I'm not sure what rules you go by for page counts but the last page of the novel's text is page 417.

I'm reading a hardcover (or possibly library binding) version of The Winslow Boy with 126 pages which I borrowed from the public library. It was published in 1946 by Dramatists Play Services Inc, New York and has no ISBN. The front cover is totally blank, with the title on the spine only.Can someone please add this edition? Thanks.

Happy New Year. Just a quick Librarian thing. The Kindle edition of the latest Rivers of London graphic novel Rivers of London Vol. 10: Deadly Every After has picked up a typo from the Amazon record of the same version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B43413V...It's clear from the cover that it should be Ever, not Every, and both the GR softback (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...) and the Amazon softback (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rivers-Londo...) have it right!
Also, going from the Amazon record, the page count for the kindle edition is 108pg (the WorldCat version is pagecountless: https://www.worldcat.org/title/134091...)

Hoping someone can add the pages and correct the description to MMPB. I have this MMPB in my hands:
ISBN: 0553560247It has 323 pg, incl "index to recipes" and "about the author" pages. If you include the preview of the next book in the series which is printed after the author page, there are 350 pages.
The amazon record lists it as a "paperback" with no page numbers and an ASIN # (!)
https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Chocolat...
.
If I type in the ISBN # that is on my book into amazon it gives me THIS:
(which is probably an updated cover; the Goodreads record does not show an ISBN, and calls it a paperback).Amazon record: https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Chocolat...
Amazon calls it MMPB and shows 352 pg (which closely matches the 350 pages of the book in my hands, IF I count the preview of the next books included at the end).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Emily wrote: "T. Coraghessan Boyle and T.C. Boyle are the same author. Can these accounts be merged?"The simple answer is no. T. Coraghessan Boyle is a GR Author profile and T.C. Boyle is not. GR would need to do this as librarians are not allowed to do anything with a GR Author profile.
The best that can be done is already done. A note on T.C. Boyle profile referring to the other...and all books on the T.C. Boyle file list T. Coraghessan Boyle also as an author.

First, GR does not count previews of other books in the page count. Worldcat gives the page count for your ISBN as 321p, which is the page count I used to update the record.
Worldcat has the alternate cover, which GR lists on your book in the edit fields as an alternate cover to your book's cover.
Only the Amazon listing for the alternate cover is formatted as MMPB. Worldcat only lists the book as a paperback. I did not change the format, since Amazon does not list your cover as MMPB but rather as Paperback.
GR has changed its process for ISBNs. It now lists the latest book added under the ISBN rather than having more than one book share the ISBN. Sometimes the latest one added is the oldest, sometimes the newest.
Amazon seems to use ASINs for all books regardless. If you scroll further, you will frequently find the ISBN also listed.

Christina, do you have the book? There is such a wide variation in page count, I would like to know what pages your paperback has.
Worldcat says 436 pages for the ISBN, but does not give the format.
Amazon says 416 pages for hardcover and 624 for paperback. Both have the same ISBN. The book you linked is a paperback.
