As far as I'm aware, pp. is for a range (e.g. pp.1-9) and p. for a single
page (e.g. p.92) when used in citing an argument, article or chapter.
But pp. is also used when including a book in your bibliography and giving
the total number of pages.
E.g.
Warburton, N. (2004) Philosophy: The Basics, 4th Edn., London: Routledge,
169pp.
Hope that helps. If anybody knows otherwise, please point it out!
Personally I find the last bibliography thing a little anally-retentive.
Most of my tutors are happy with:
Author, I. (XXXX) Some interesting title: in italics, Location: Publisher.
All the best,
Rab.
