I'm on approximately 80 pages of, what might become a book, but it's useful for me to write everything down anyway. If it becomes a book, it will be my first. Is there any minimum amount of pages advised please?.. and thank you..

It depends on what sort of book, fiction, non-fiction, what genre if it is fiction. As a rule of thumb, a standard fiction book runs at approx 80,000 - 100,000 words. They are measured by word count rather than pages, as that will depend on page size, font size, etc.
