Christina Stind | 59 comments After it became possible to track your progress, I've noticed a couple of books with the wrong number of pages.
First - this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...
It is said to have 256 pages - mine has 400 and it is the correct isbn.

Next: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...
On goodreads it says it has 656 pages - mine has 505 pages. Again - same isbn.

Can someone fix this, please - or at least look into it?
Thanks, Christina

(On a separate note, how do you go about becoming a librarian? I'm considering it - spending a lot of time here anyways, might as well make myself useful...!)

Google Books agrees with you on the first one, and I found a listing on Alibris that agrees with you on the second. They have both been changed.

As far as becoming a librarian goes, you just have to have 50 books shelved and then apply. I think you'd be a great addition to our ranks. :)




Christina Stind | 59 comments Thanks Rivka :-)
I have 50 books shelved so I'll look into applying!

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Christina, You'd be a terrific librarian here, and you'd just have to do whichever work you wanted, but you could fix those page numbers (an easy task) as you find them (which would take you less time than posting them in this group.)


Christina Stind | 59 comments Exactly - several of the issues I have found could just be fixed by myself instead of wasting time by asking you guys to do it and then you having to go do it.
So I did apply yesterday - haven't heard anything yet though...

Definitely. :) They just don't go through the applications every day, I think.


Christina Stind | 59 comments Phew - then I'll try to wait with a bit more patience... :-)
