You can request a further edition for your book at 'adding new books & editions'

So we have two books of similar description, both published for the Abbey Library series, both most likely published in the 1950s, one with 730 pages, one supposedly with 728. The lack of date on both copies even suggests to me that this could be a printer's error for the whole edition (see my colophon image; there are no signs of damage obscuring the date, only a lack of ink).
I can copy-paste this request into a different folder if you really want me to, but I think we'd just be creating two Goodreads pages for the same edition, and putting too much stock in the accuracy of a low-effort Amazon seller description.

Page count: 730
Publisher: Not The Abbey Library, I think that's just the name for this series. The colophon says the publisher is "Murray's Book Sales (Kings Cross) Ltd."
Publication year isn't visible in my copy. 1959 latest due to a handwritten inscription.
