In the example Abecedary gave, page numbers with book chapters are not given to locate a particular passage in the chapter where something interesting is written, but rather to specify the whole page range of the chapter. If I say that some theory is explained and discussed in Chapter 7 of "Recent Advances in Scientific Science", what is exactly the use of saying that this chapter starts at page 349 and ends at page 390?

But I agree this is not the original point of this thread.
