Okay, so YES I may have too much time on my hands. You can thank me
later. :)

You can convert between the US & UK editions of GoF using one of these
functions. Since most of us don't have both editions, we can't easily
reference pages. The formulas are correct to +/-1 page (I think).

US = 1.166(UK - 6)
UK = 0.8576US + 6

For example pg. 509-US is approx. 442.5-UK. (The correct answer is
pg. 442-UK.)

And for example pg. 275-UK is approx. pg. 313.7-US. (The correct answer
is pg. 313-US.)

Thanks to flying_ford_anglia for the help.
