Hi, I've found the publisher's web page and it says 416, so, according to the rules, I've to set this number.Here the link https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/44129...
Fine by me, thanks. As long as there is a roughly accurate number :D(I was slightly wrong, checking at penguinrandomhouse.com, where they don't say anything at all)

Sorry to interrupt but actually WorldCat (or member book in hand) is preferred over publisher. WorldCat is more likely to conform to Goodreads page numbering standards because publisher is likely to include pages GR doesn't count such as previews and other advertising.
Stefano wrote: "yes, I know, but this Is an ebook....."Okay, I just usually search WorldCat for ISBN and go with that page count when available unless it's a Kindle.
It being ebook is why I put "member book in hand" in parentheses.
Stefano wrote: "I know also this, but this ebook isn't a Kindle"I know you know. Think we're saying same things different ways. I just appreciate when OP includes WorldCat link.
Kindle page count being whatever publisher Amazon says makes it so straightforward compared to other formats where one sometimes has to consider multiple possible sources.


WorldCat offers up the following page when searching for that ISBN, which says 407 pages:
https://search.worldcat.org/de/title/...
This would also match the number of pages of the Del Rey epub of the same book.
