John & Ed,
I gather than John is looking for "order of magnitude" numbers rather than extremely specific values. Given that:
Book Words Pages
SA 99326 201
SD 121898 234
PD 118085 218
WH 95272 184
CC 96910 184
PP 100246 204
WD 93958 172
SW 94988 196
ML 94148 185
PM 93794 178
GN 99360 193
These are from transcriptions done some time ago by a friend and are in Microsoft Word format; the counts are from Word also. The page numbers may vary of course, and I have no idea whether things like chapter head quotations are counted or not and haven't bothered to try and find out. For John's purposes I think this gives an idea.
He didn't do The Big Six, no idea why.
