Conor | 14 comments The numbered pages (excluding the unnumbered final page that still contains contents from the actual book) is 152, as currently indicated. However, this version (specifically with the introduction by Leo Bersani and the translator's preface by David McLintock) includes an additional 37 pages (numbered with roman numerals; the last page of the translator's preface is not numbered, but still contains content from the translator's preface.

In short, the page count should be 189 pages

Side note: for most of my other books, prefaces, introductions, etc. are typically included in the word count, even if they are not numbered using Arabic numerals. Is there a fixed policy on this? If so, and especially if the policy is to not include pages not numbered using Arabic numerals, then please let me know, even if the details for this book aren't edited.
