There could be several reasons. Some kinds of books need other information first, like a table of contents, a revision history, or other introductory material. Some books start with a prologue or a foreword, or other information that isn't part of the main content of the book, but is helpful to know up front. Usually information added to the beginning of a document like this is given Roman Numerals... i, ii, iii, etc. Then, when the book gets to addressing the main subject, they will start the numbering again, with 1, 2, 3, etc. Additionally, even if there is no information like that, publishers will usually count pages even if they have no numbers on them... so you might have a title page, a dedication page, or even a blank page at the front of the book. Those pages don't have numbers printed on them, but they are still pages for the purposes of counting the pages in the book... so the story might start on page 5, since there are a couple of un-numbered pages before that, but usually the numbers make sense if you count the "blank" pages beforehand.
