A Quarter of a Billion Words

[Mongoose_Matt]

Hi guys,

Apparently that is how many words we have printed in our books to date. So my editor told me today.

Do you think I should perhaps monitor his workload a bit closer?

I think you should buy him a bottle of fine single malt scotch. And tell him to drink it. But not while editing.....

That's a lot of words and a lot of good project. Impressive!!

 

[Bragg Battleaxe]

That's a lot of words

And just what makes you so qualified to make that observation... oh, wait.

Hurm.

Assuming a typical gamebook is 100K words, that would mean you've published 250 books?!?!?

Something seems off here...

 

[SkeletonKey Ed]

Correction - 2,500 Books!

You guys are forgetting errata.

British or American billion?

Either way, impressive!

The Auld Grump, owner of a fair portion of those quarter bilion words.....

0.25 Tera Words

That's equivalent to 250 manuscripts the size of the package Gary sent to GDW for the Dangerous Journeys: Mythus game. (These days Col. Pladoh has become rather laconic.)

Imagine if each of those billion words earned u a dollar... or even ten cents...
