Hi, thank you for responding.The link I have specified is the publisher site. Standard Ebooks publishes exclusively public domain books for digital platforms, so they do not have ISBN, or fixed page counts.
However, I just noticed that according to the Librarian Manual one "may estimate the page count using a tool such as Calibre's Count Pages plugin", if the publisher does not provide a number. I did use the said plugin to estimate the page count, which I'm specifying below.
Page count: 211 (estimate)
Also, for your reference, here's a list of Standard Ebooks books that already exist in the Goodreads database: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Hope this is helpful!

Description: Three Men in a Boat is one of the most popular English travelogues, having never been out of print since its publication in 1889 and causing its publisher to comment, “I cannot imagine what becomes of all the copies of that book I issue. I often think the public must eat them.”
The novel itself is a brisk, light-hearted, and funny account of a two-week boating holiday taken by three friends up the Thames river. Jerome is a sort of everyman narrator, and even the stodgiest reader can sympathize with at least some of the situations and conundrums he and his friends find themselves in during their adventure.
Interspersed between comic moments are slightly more serious descriptions of the picturesque villages and landscape the friends explore, making Three Men in a Boat not just a comic novel but an actual account of the life, times, and land of late 19th century greater London.
