7/ Given that the book is already 216 pages, I can't imagine that I won't hit 400 pages by the time I'm done (and maybe 600). ...and that's without the hundreds of illustrations I intend to add. ...and the essays. Hmm.

13/ I'm only going to let myself work on this full time for one more week, before switching over to Aristillus (Right and Duty, and Absolute Tyranny). I think I'll hit 400 pages before back-burnering it, but it's going to take 600 total, I bet. Plus pix may be 800. 2 books?
