Someone asked in the CodeRage chat, so I dug out some status about the book. According to Open Office (the word processor I used) document information the book has 400 pages; 112 images; 7,912 paragraphs; 90,900 words; 584,001 characters; 12,969 lines.

Also, documents stat says 894 hours editing time (which is about 110 days at 8 hours a day), but I don't know if this is accurate as I used multiple files. This also includes the time spend on the text by the editor, though. Still, it certainly was a large effort.

For all those upset about lulu shipping costs, I'm really evaluating an alternative print-on-demand service. Will let you know, but setting this up will take a couple of weeks at least. For now, I'm moving Essential Pascal to give it a try.
