Guillermo, the book you connected to (ISBN 0812998707) has a page count of 354 pages plus illustrations on Worldcat. GR uses Worldcat as the definitive source for page counts other than the actual book. Can you confirm the ISBN of your book matches the one you linked with? Also, are the 368 pages all numbered? I have updated the page count to match Worldcat but would be willing to use your number if you can confirm the ISBN and numbered pages.

No you don't include roman numerals in the count, esp at the beginning. Some books start at say page 6, we don't take away those pages either. Easiest way is to go to the end of the book last page with a number and then see if any of the stuff afterwards gets included.
Ok, I had that doubt. Thanks.

That's not quite right. WorldCat is generally a good source for page counts, but the only definitive source for print books is book-in-hand.
This book has an incorrect page numbering. It should be 368. I have the book in my hands, and you can see it on amazon too:
