A tighter page count estimate

August 20th, 2008 by Bryan O'Sullivan

Oh, wow. We just got the first PDF proofs in, using O’Reilly’s house style. There’s no index yet, and we still have a chapter to add, but we’re already at 536 pages. The final number will thus be somewhat north of this: maybe 550 pages, instead of the 450 we thought as recently as a day or two ago.

Update: Don noticed that several chapters were missing from the PDF. I’ve fixed this, and now we have 666 pages in the current PDF. As a result, the final count looks like it will be near 700 pages. That pretty well blows my mind.

    Is the print version also going to be that large? If so, won’t it be really expensive for an O’Reilly book?
