If they put in page 193 you would die of boredom.

I believe I recall it was something to do with the printing presses they use?
Maybe our ex-bethelites can enlighten us?

Number of pages must be divisible (I don't know if it is proper term in English) with 8. That's the rule of printing job, because one sheet has 8 pages. 192/8=24

Its the number you get when you multiply the area of the great piramid, subtract 2520 years and add 1975 and then subtract 607!

1+9+2=12
12x12=144
A book each year in the millenium = 144,000

Maybe there is a logical reason as pointed out regarding the printing process, but Why Oh Why do they have to announce the number of pages when they release a new book (or brochure) at conventions?
