[Answered] Page numbers - Include index or story content only?

[Kat「キャット」]

I have a book that has 640 total numbered pages, and Amazon also says the book has 640 pages.

However, the last two pages are the index (639 & 640), and they are numbered pages. The last page of book content ends on page 638.

If this book is not yet added in Goodreads, should I put that it has 638 pages or 640 pages in my book add request?

I found my answer: according to the Goodreads Librarian manual, numbered pages that are (1) not book advertisements or book previews and are (2) not numbered via roman numerals should be included.

I'm still a little nervous about the quiz. I'll apply when I feel a little more confident. Thanks for the adive!

Also, if the index pages had not been numbered, they should have been included as well*, because they belong to the book itself :)

*but only if they appear at the end of the book, not at the beginning.
