Renato Andrade | 14 comments To whom I may concern,

Could you please correct the number of pages of On the Shoulders of Giants: The Milan Lectures - ISBN-13 978-1787301450.

The page count was set at 320. This may probably be from an incorrect listing at Amazon.com. However, the correct page count is 416 as can be confirmed at several other websites:
- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shoulders-Gi...
- https://www.google.pt/books/edition/O...
- https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...
- https://www.wook.pt/livro/on-the-shou...
- https://www.bertrand.pt/livro/on-the-...

and in the book index (https://d1b14unh5d6w7g.cloudfront.net...) OR (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shoulders-Gi...)


Thanks

Renato

WorldCat.org is the preferred source for page counts for printed books and they have this ISBN listed with 413 pages.

Do you have the book in hand? What is on pages 414 through 416? Some things we can count and others we cannot.

Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.

We don’t count the pages used for advertisements, preview chapters for other books or introductory material paged using roman numerals.

Thanks.

You are correct and pages 414-416 appear as blank. Last eligible page is 413 with list of illustrations.
