seems to be missing a Lot of pages?

the description of this book says that it should have about 320 pages? the copy i received has a dismal amount, 8 pages printed double sided amounting to 16 pages of content. they number from the table of contents to page 16 in the book, but the stitches shown start at number 93 and end at 860. the table of contents says that there should be pages for understanding the symbols used in the book, but that is missing for both the knitting and crochet section, and the numbers on the table of contents doesn't match up with the numbers on the pages. i'm unfortunately very disappointed, since this shipped very quickly and i was excited for it
