Question about Warbreaker?
« on: December 28, 2007, 10:47:49 AM »
Hi I'm new to this place but I already like what I see here so I think I'll stick around.

I'm a bit curious about writing books and now here's my question: The Warbreaker novel is 463 A4-pages on my computer, how many pages does that translate into as a printed book?

Happy Holidays!

it really depends on the type-setting they use at the printers.  After all, Mistborn 2 was 1000 pages on my computer, but not quite so many in print.  Also, think of James Patterson - his books make it to 300 pages in print, but he barely gets 200 words on a page (on the high side).

How ever the printers can get it out the cheapest is how it will be done.  Brandon is one of Tor's most expensive authors to print.

But I'd say worth every penny. ;)
