"Google Books sometimes allows numbered book pages to be linked to directly. . . . No editor is required to add page links, but if another editor adds them, they should not be removed without cause . ."
The Look Magazine from March 1961 availability is on Google Books and is used in the From Russia with Love (novel) Wikipedia article.
In my edit I took the Wikipedia reader to a specific page with the Google Books publication of the Look Magazine by specific word search of
kennedy ten favorites Ian Fleming LIFE 1961 LOVE
which found this page
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=vUUEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59&dq=kennedy+ten+favorites+Ian+Fleming+LIFE+1961+LOVE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUlNqa0vToAhUMOisKHeVIBTkQ6AEISzAE#v=onepage&q=kennedy%20ten%20favorites%20Ian%20Fleming%20LIFE%201961%20LOVE&f=false .
The Wikipedia guideline is "No editor is required to add page links, but if another editor adds them, they should not be removed without cause . ."
The page was found by me by reference to chosen words sought within the magazine. The page was not found by reference to the page number itself.
Nevertheless your guideline as you would be informed by Wikipedia for linking to Google Books pages is "No editor is required to add page links, but if another editor adds them, they should not be removed without cause . ."
I have added a page link and it has been removed with the cause that it offends by your evaluation Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
The possibility, I trust, would be that you consider the re-installation of the reference that links to the Look Magazine page that is specific to President Kennedy's choice of ten favourite books.

For the Wikipedia reader, you give the link to the Look Magazine published by Google Books on the internet, which observable link to that reader only contains this information >
Sidey, Hugh (17 March 1961). "The President's Voracious Reading Habits". Life. 50 (11): 59. ISSN 0024-3019. Archived from the original on 6 May 2016. Retrieved 5 October 2011.
Your link takes the reader to the cover only of the publication.
The article begins on p.55 and the President's list of 10 books is on p.59.
While the information that can be read by touching the reference on the article page, again I repeat here>

does contain the lone figure 59 (the page number in the publication where the list is printed) it is meaningless to a browsing Wikipedia reader like me. The isolated number 59 does not tell me to scroll to p.59 of the magazine.
Within what a reader may see I added to in previous edits to indicate that scrolling to p.59 will find what the Wikipedia article text draws to the reader's attention.
You, as a guardian of British popular culture in Wikipedia, have your concept of the greater appropriatness of what should be accessible, but I cannot see that a direction to a publication's front cover with no direction to contents therein is telling anyone anything. Again, you are the representative of Her Majesty's culture. With hope, receive the necessary deference owed to you.-- Laurencebeck ( talk) 01:35, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
I know that one should assume good faith, but a great deal of properly sourced material was cut in February by an IP. Does anyone object if I put it back in? -- A.S. Brown ( talk) 02:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
