I was under the impression that you could change the number of pages field when
you check the book in. That worked for me in a recent case when I needed to.
Hope that helps,

I have tended to grab from the first pages as well, but I have looked at
some of the other pages. I was afraid if they were still there after a long
time, that they might be something I couldn't handle not knowing a lot yet.
I had 3 books I had to release one had to many pages, I got the extra pages
out OK because it was a repeat of the same book, but when I went to put it
back up it still said the original number of pages, so I knew there was some
kind of trouble that I could not fix.
The other two had something about page breaks not being right, and I knew
I'd screw those up, so had to let them go.
