Since I'm not a librarian, I may not see what is already there behind the scenes, but I just noticed as I was adding a new edition (different publisher, new cover) for a book that the eBook page numbers differed depending on the retailer. (Here's the book, for what its worth: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/5e0329e7-61f1-41e5-b0dd-10c96dd91fa9)

I went with the publisher stated page number, but I thought it might have been useful to make a note for future librarians looking at the backend of things that there is discrepancy and to pre-address future flags may say something like "my edition has X pages." I could imagine this being useful for other books and instances I can't imagine at the moment.

Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for thinking of our Librarians! We don't have anything like this behind the scenes but I believe it's been discussed before. They always go with the publisher page count where it's available, so if someone flags it when their edition is different but the ISBN is the same, we do just have to say, sorry but this is the publisher stated count! If there is one :-)
