Again, and I don't mean to sound dismissal: What does the inclusion of 'total number of pages' grant you here?
If you can't grab total number of pages, does your plan of absolute bird book aggregation fail miserably? It seems to me that the citation aggregator would be/could be doing something useful with the citation that it has to get the user to a place where total number of pages could be learned. Knowing the full number of pages in a work brings you really nowhere closer to actually 'getting' the cited work in question. That, in my mind, is the complete 'point' and 'scope' of a citation. To help people who are looking for the work that is being mentioned to locate it for themselves, whether that be hunting them down manually (via the traditionial APA, MLA, Chicago styles) or by machine (through OpenURL). -Ross.
