Two for each wishbone, sixteen in total.

You also need some narrower ones for the suspension, fronts need top and bottom, rears only need top (assuming Sierra based upright). Six in total.

The Haynes roadster comes from the 'build your own sports car on a budget', which uses a Sierra donor. The '...£250' book is the original locost book and uses an Escort donor. It's not necessarily the wrong book, you just need to use the right donor to match. I actually bought both, but I'm using a lot more info out of the Haynes roadster book.
