For the publisher, Vintage is an imprint of Knopf, so I left the more specific information in.
For the page count, it was specifically set to 480 by another librarian, so I've asked them to double-check their edition.

I've also updated the description to match the copy for this edition.
Thanks for catching all of this!

All listings of this title have the original publication date as 1970. I have a first American edition (New York: William Morrow & Company, Inc.) and the publication date is 1968. This predates the final two books, and came out before the group of four was collectively titled "The Raj Quartet." The British publication might have been earlier, but unlikely because of the dual copyright requirement at the time (simultaneous publication in US & a Bern convention country). Can supply a cover scan. Pre-ISBN.

I'm hoping the official URL I am giving is correct.

The # of pages is incorrect for the eBook edition with ISBN of 9780307272119 because the only formats that have page numbers are ePub and PDF and the ePub edition has 424 pages.
I just noticed a few other issues as well...
The date of publish and Publisher are not correct. The date should be September 14, 2008 and the publisher is Knopf Publishing Group.
One final thing, the description could do with being changed. I've looked on a few sites that sell this eBook and the description is the same and is not what is in this listing...
A sensation across Europe—millions of copies sold
A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue.
It's about the disappearance forty years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden . . . and about her octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about what he believes was her murder.
It's about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet's disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year-old pierced and tattooed genius hacker possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her age--and a terrifying capacity for ruthlessness to go with it--who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism--and an unexpected connection between themselves.
It's a contagiously exciting, stunningly intelligent novel about society at its most hidden, and about the intimate lives of a brilliantly realized cast of characters, all of them forced to face the darker aspects of their world and of their own lives.
Thanks!
