[Done] Incorrect Page number: 978-1-5290-6920-4

Those sites you mentioned most likely have the incorrect page numbers. The 176 maybe the sum of the actual 162 pages + 14 other pages (12 intro roman numbered and 2 blank pages before page number 1)

WorldCat.org is the preferred source for page counts for printed books. They have this edition listed with 161 pages but they are often off by one page (a last unnumbered page).
Laura, Alibris is not an approved source for page counts. Plus, a reader's book in hand trumps all other sources.

Please edit the title / subject of your post and add [Done] so other librarians know it is complete.
While my copy doesn't have the number 162 printed on the last page, I would suggest updating the page count to 162.
