How to find a book's word count

Very helpful information (if you're a total writing nerd who is curious about how many words various books have).

  1. On a (somewhat) related note, did you see this story today?

    "Agatha Christie And Nuns Tell A Tale Of Alzheimer's"

    An English prof ran a computer program on many of Christie's novels and discovered a dramatic change in her word count and vocabulary as she got older, a possible indication that she was losing some of mental faculties. Really amazing concept!
