Dennis (villyidol) | 13 comments Could someone please add the page count for the book? It's 351 pages.

The ISBN is missing as well.

Link to the book entry: /book/show/1...

Thank you!

Ekaterina Okuneva (okuneshku) | 3710 comments Please include ISBN in your request even when you give a link, it must be printed somewhere in your message.

The book with ISBN 9783404130351 is already on GR: Cujo, 351 pages according to worldcat.

The book you linked might be an alternative cover edition, but it has no information, exept cover and publisher, I leave it like that.


Dennis (villyidol) | 13 comments Hi Ekaterina,

thanks for your message.

Sorry for only adding the ISBN as a link. I checked the Worldcat page again and it does indeed state that there are different editions with this ISBN. Didn't know this was possible, to be honest.

As far as I know you can't add two books with the same ISBN to the GR database, so that's probably why the person who added it left it blank. Unfortunately, that person also forgot to add the number of pages, so the book is counted with 0 pages towards GR members' stats. Don't know exactly why that is. I thought that if the number of pages is missing it gets translated to the respective main edition's page count, which is still wrong, but at least closer to the truth than 0 pages.

Well, the whole thing is a little unfortunate.

Thanks for checking anyway.

Ekaterina Okuneva (okuneshku) | 3710 comments Dennis, you are right, only one of two editions can use shared ISBN on GR, and in case like this we call those editions ACE - alternative cover edition. Then we add notes and link them to indicate they share ISBN but have different covers.
I'm sorry, it wasn't clear for me if you have this particular edition with missing ISBN. If you have it, please let me know, what is the date of publishing and confirm it is 351 pages as well. I'll add this details and link ACEs, and it would be organized correctly.


Dennis (villyidol) | 13 comments Thanks, Ekaterina.

Unfortunately, I don't have the book anymore. I gave it to one of those public bookshelves after I had finished it. But I made some notes and can confirm the following:

ISBN: 3-404-13035-9
EAN: 9 783404 130351
Number of pages: 351
Copyright 1981 by Stephen King
Deutsche Lizenzausgabe (German edition) 1986

I'm sorry I don't have a more exact date.

Ekaterina Okuneva (okuneshku) | 3710 comments Dennis, that's really enough!
I added page count, year, and a note about shared ISBN. Now these two books linked. Librarians will also see notes when they combine books.
Done :)


Dennis (villyidol) | 13 comments Oh, that's great, Ekaterina! Thank you! :)
