Would be very thankful if someone had time for this! I will think about becoming a librarian myself to help out, too.

Well more librarians would certainly be welcome!
This is an unknown author though - which means there is more wrong than a missing page count. As I am currently the only librarian trying to catch up on missing page counts I've stopped dealing with requests posted in the wrong place.
Please change your folder to this one
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
This is only possible in the desktop view.
Sorry, I did not see your response in time. I know about the missing author. I also posted in the correct folder for this, but there was no response. I will do the librarian test over the Christmas Holidays and then try to solve these issues myself. Thank you!
Hi Ruben,I've added the author and other details (description, publisher, published date) but I found that WorldCat (the preferred source for page counts for printed books) has 229 pages while Amazon.de has 280 pages.
Do you have the book in hand? What is on pages 230 through 280? Some things we can count and others we cannot.
Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions.
We don’t count the pages used for advertisements, preview chapters for other books or introductory material paged using roman numerals.
Thanks.
Hi Greg, thank you so much for your response! Indeed I erred in taking the number from the publisher's webpage for my post before skimming through the actual book.
Mattes & Seitz are wrong. DNB (German National Library) has the book with 229 pages (https://d-nb.info/1201430534), there is a scan of the index page that confirms this. Unfortunately I gave the actual book away already, but I was able to look at a scanned version from the Internet Archive. 229 is correct.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I wish to apologize for my mistake.
Ruben
Done - 229 pages.Thanks for your response.
