In library science, the number of pages in a book forms part of its physicaldescription, coded in subfield $300a in MARC 21 and in subfield $215a in UNIMARC. This description consists of the number of pages, followed by the abbreviation "p." for "page". The number of pages is written in the same style as the numbering in each section. Unnumbered pages are not described. For example, describes a book with two sections, where section one contains 11 pages numbered using uppercaseRoman numerals, and section two contains 2050 pages numbered using Arabic numerals; the total number of pages is thus 2061 pages, plus any unnumbered pages. If the book contains too many separately-numbered sections, too many unnumbered pages, or only unnumbered pages, the librarian may choose to describe the book as just "1 v." when doing original cataloguing
