The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century Another user has previously set the page count so to 591, which is the end of the main body of the book; but the notes, suggested listening, acknowledgements, and index take the page count to 695, and should be the figure used according to goodreads policies. Do I go ahead and change it? I am reluctant to override someone else's edit.

I am apparently not finding it! Where is the discussion regarding page counting? I have typically if I have the book personally look at the last page number and the last roman numeral number and add them together to get the total pages!
The page count policy is here:http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/82...
It doesn't include the roman numerals from the introduction, but it does include most end material.
Also upon my researching this book I found that it is listed at 640. However the WorldCat has it at 695:Document Type: Book

Thanks!
Its definitely 695 pages, and I have changed it accordingly.
