236 pages without index pages It appears to be 1 or 2 recipes on page with a photo on each of the pages. Since this was purchased a library book sale it does have removal on front and back cover. After closer look I noticed that the last blank page has been cut out. Remember, the book is in good condition no marked on pages. I think you would be very pleased with as it cover 8 sections with and 8 more special features sections.
