Josh | 13 comments Hi there,

I'm currently reading D-Day: The Oral History by Garrett M. Graff:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

and I've noticed there's a mistake with the page number count for the Octopus Publishing Hardcover edition. The current page number is 448 but in reality, the book features a 14 page introduction (Authors Note/Foreword), includes an additional 52 pages of main body content, and another 77 pages of source notes - taking the actual page count up to 591 pages total.

Could someone please amend the page number figure for the book please? I'm happy to provide photographic evidence of the contents page as proof, if required.

Many thanks in advance,

Josh

Hi Josh

Thanks for providing the ISBN. That is required (or you have to state your book doesn't have one)

World Cat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) Has this one at 576 pages. Is the 14 page introduction unnumbered or numbered with Roman numerals.

Josh | 13 comments Hi Carol,

The 14 intro is Roman numerals :)

Best wishes,

Josh

Hi Josh we don't count introductory material if it is unnumbered or numbered with Roman numerals.
I've used World Cat's page count of 576 pages. If it should be 577 (World Cat often doesn't count the final page) please let me know.

Otherwise, please allow 20 minutes for the changes to display (much) longer if you are using the app.

To help volunteer librarians please add [done] or similar to the thread title. This is only possible in the desktop view.
