Contest

Guess how many pages will my dissertation be in final form, counting every page except:

Cover page
Acknowledgements
Anything with Roman numerals (lists of illustrations, etc.).

You can use my guesses I've made from time to time if you like, but it isn't like I have any clue.
Current page length is 334, so it'll be longer than that.

The winner (closest, if tied, it's closest without going over) gets one copy of my dissertation delivered to you. It will be suitable for door stops, throwing at unwanted guests, and has many other practical purposes.

No duplicate guesses. First person to post a number (by LJ-clock) gets it!

Why not

412. Some us might even be interested in taking a gander at what you've written...

Non-bound copies can be made available regardless of the winner. And probably will be in draft form at the end of August to anyone who will actually read some of it.
