    Exactly how many pages are in the Animorphs book series?
    EXACTLY how many pages are in the Animorphs book series in total? This includes:
    • Books 1-54
    • All 4 Chronicles books
    • Megamorphs 1-4
    • Alternamorphs 1 & 2

    It's a stupid question, I know, but I'm a curious nerd!
    To be more specific, I'm talking about the American paperback editions, and not including the preview for the next book - just the story itself. I'd count them myself, but I don't want to find spoilers on the next page.

    Tis true, most likely to get dumb answers. Don't think you'll find too many people willing to spend their volunteer time to find and count them for you.

    Books are printed in different sizes and typefaces. So the page count may differ from one publication to the next. Hardcover will differ from paperback. So knowing the number of pages in one printing tells you nothing.

    The thing is, throughout all the books, the typeface is exactly the same, and all but The Hork-Bajir Chronicles and The Visser Chronicles are paperback. The hardcover books are slightly taller, but apart from that, it'll be very accurate. This is, of course, assuming you have the American editions.

    It's the copies YOU have. You don't know if those are the only printings. And even if they were I don't see the relevance of that number.

    Worth looking on Amazon as they tend to give numbers of pages in the description.

    Why does it really matter?

    Sir, I own the most common editions.

    I like facts and statistics.
