Worldcat has 187, can you please say what's on pages 188-192?

Some advertisement of other books by the publisher and just blank pages.

I was originally going to put 187 because that is the last page of text, but Amazon had 192 and the number of pages after the text adds up to that number of pages. Given that anything Amazon related is considered sacred on this site (i.e. book covers), I put in 192.

Since the text does end on 187, I say do that one.

I'm not sure where you got that Amazon sanctity notion, it is very far from that. The only thing we hold sacred from Amazon is Kindle page counts, which makes sense. For anything else there are guidelines and rules. Amazon is very often wrong in everything. Here are the page numbering guidelines. Worldcat tends to be close to that guidelines (e.g. they don't count "about the author" usually, we do), which is why we compare to worldcat, but it is not sacred either. Anyway, advertisements don't count, so 187 it is.
