We do not count the pages that come before 1. Is there anything after the last numbered page? I've changed it to 86.ETA
Always provide the ISBN in page number requests, even when linking to the book.

"Is there anything after the last numbered page?"
One or two blank pages, no content.
"ETA"
Estimated time of arrival? What is this abbreviation short for?
Sorry! It means Extra Text Added. Here is the policy.

I presume this is because most people would find it difficult to keep up with the number of pages in their reading progress otherwise.

ISBN: 9780520215733
The book has 30 pages of preface ("xxix" + 1) and then 86 regularly numbered pages, for a total of 116 pages. I can’t see any way to get the page count to 130+ pages (unless there are multiple editions of this, with the same ISBN).
