Diana Jaciuk | 33 comments Hello, I am currently reading this book and the page number for this issue is wrong: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Right now it is entered as 904 pages, but the correct one is 810 pages.

For the 1998 by Oxford University Press edition.

Maybe there is some mix up with the: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
2008 edition?

Anyways, can you please change it to 810 pages?

Thank you

Worldcat states this book has 849 pages
https://www.worldcat.org/title/middle...

Can you confirm you have the book in hand? If so I will update to your count

Thanks


Diana Jaciuk | 33 comments Hello,

Yes I do have the book in my hands. And the last page is indeed 810.

I am guessing they are counting the introduction, which is about 40 pages, but is not numbered in the book.

So I am not sure which is correct, the actual pages number, including introduction, which would be 849, or how the publisher decided to count the pages, with the last page of the book being 810.

I am fine either way I guess.

Thank You!


Diana Jaciuk | 33 comments Oh and maybe you can also help me with an another book?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

So I have read the book with the same cover but the correct ISBN is: 0140055932

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The pages count and everything else matches. There are alternative covers for the same ISBN

And I believe that 9788701842617 ISBN has an entirely different cover.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you

Diana, please always state the ISBN, even when linking to the book.

Also, please remove the Middlemarch link in the topic if you are requesting edits for other books.
