Does anyone know how many words Fel puts into each of the books done so far?

J-Man5

Lots.

Wow, just did a word count on Book 1.

342595 words.

Tower of Sorcery
342,480

The Questing Game
424,839

Honor and Blood
546,181

The Shadow Realm
308,866

Weavespinner
312,364

Axe of the Dwarven King
393,262

The Sword of Fire
301,970

Demon's Bane (So Far)
76,905

All counts done by Microsoft Word so accuracy will be off as Microsoft does not make programs capable of counting well.

Obviously about the Word thing, as my count was in word as well. LOL

Even more amazing when you consider the typical novel is considered 60-100,000 words. We're looking at some pretty massive hardcovers.

Not that it's a bad thing to devote an entire shelf to Fel....

Or parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 for Honor and Blood alone !!!!!
That would make it something like 29 voulumes or so on Tarrin !!!!!!!!!

In the interests of saving paper, perhaps I could suggest a 4 point font and magnifying glass?

That should bring it down to only, oh 10 volumes?

Or a few CDs like the Bean free CDs.

HTML version of Firestaff Series and Sennadar Cronicles on my site is below 25MB (there are some stray DOC files...). So I think that 1 CD would be enough

Just a word on Word...

The last I checked, Word counted every 5 characters as a word. So there could be extra spaces--which count as a character--in the version you're counting. It's also the way most professional typing tests measure words per minute...at least the ones that I've taken.

Well I know it counts '...' as a word, so that would add a few as well.

Honestly, though, how much would it matter? So it's off by a few hundred, or even a few thousand words. The numbers should still be in the right ballpark. I would be curious to know just how many pages each book would work out to be. I know typically the manuscripts you submit to publishers are double-spaced, but I'm not sure how the computer page to printed page ratio works.

But there wouldn't be enough room for the nudes of Kimmie! <grin>

Seriously, I was thinking along the lines of one CD ber book.
