French term
collation
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Printing & Publishing
This word appears as part the description/references of a little guide book. (to help people get it from a library)
Here is the phrase: "Collation: 56 pages: nombre ill. 30 cm"
I don't know how to translate the word 'collation' in this context (as a number of pages).
Does anyone know what nombre ill. stands for, is it nombre illimité (how is that possible?)
Can anyone help me out with this puzzle?

Note from asker:
| your explanations were very helpful and you are also right that ill. stands for illustrations, which was also a help. However, I had to award the points for the word I actually chose in the translation. Thank you anyway for your valuable input |
