When ever I try add a book from Italian Library National Service (SBN) the number of pages are not imported even if I know they are on the database because you can check it by clicking on the question mark button on the side of the results.
For example if you search for "Il potere della spada" and you check the info on the first result you can se that the number of pages is 700. But if you add the book that information is not included and you have to do it manually (not the end of the world, but still annoying).
Another occurring problem is the presence of two squares on the side of the first word of the title, in the same example you can see that the first result is " Il ‰potere della spada: romanzo". Again, nothing that is not manually fixable but it those add time to the process.
I hope I explained clear enough.

the second one is not a bug, but a feature: it means that the book must be lexicographically put under "Potere della spada, il" and not "Il potere della spada".

Just adding to >2 .mau.:: and this feature is handled differently in different systems. In LibraryThing this is the Sort Character which tells LT where to begin sorting the title from.

>1 gutenberg_2022: I'm seeing pagination come through sporadically on other sources, as well. I'll see if there's anything simple enough to poke at, here.
