How do you reference a book without page numbers?

Blisterman

Writing an essay, and need to quote a book, but this book doesn't have page numbers.

Normally, I'd use the format:
Susanne Langer, Philosophy in a New Key (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1957) p. 15

Should I just leave out the page number or should I write (No page numbers), should I guess the number
or should I do the incredibly slow method of counting the however many hundred pages in?

Here is a page describing how to cite references.

Each style has its own requirements, Chicago doesn't seem to include page numbers.
MLA suggests that if a source doesn't have page numbers that you provide whatever detail is in the source e.g Chapter, Section etc. This would have been my suggestion.
They also recommend using "n.pag" with the book's details in the list of references.

I don't think manually counting the pages is a good idea; it's not your fault that it doesn't have page numbers.:D

Hope this helps ....
