Isabell (purzel) | 50 comments Are you sure it's not 1269 pages? Because that's what the WorldCat entry tells me. Possibly either the B&N page or WorldCat has some numbers mixed up. Can you do a quick double check against the WorldCat info, which gives: 340 + 481 + 448 = 1269 pages in all.

For now I've changed the data to the page number you provided.

Lobat Azizi | 7 comments so how can i add a book which is written in my native language.(in the guidelines is mentioned that it should be written just in English) but i want my countryman can find a book in their language too. how can i handle it?

English books must not be edited to be in other languages. But additional editions in other languages (with their ISBNs, if they exist) are fine.

If it only exists in Persian, then the only title -- original and in the title field for the book -- should be in Persian. And the language listed for it should be Persian.

Lobat Azizi | 7 comments i got it, but what about the name of author?


message 14: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments In Persian only, if as you say an English or other language edition does not exist.
