Question regarding book number

[Gemma]

OK I am currently reading this version of the book, but there is an issue with the page numbers. Both the publisher and Goodreads quotes it as 288 (I think), but physically the book has more pages than that. (This excludes the teaser for the next book and any pages at then end.

Help?

Worldcat has it at 445, so I set it to that...is that what you have?

[Gemma]

That's what I have. Not sure why it was set so low!!!

The bookseller sites often have incorrect numbers. No idea why, but when in doubt, I check worldcat. :)
