I'm pleased to see that the rationality book is going to be long, at around 300,000 words twice the length of your average fantasy blockbuster. It should be one of these voluminous and somewhat self-indulgent pop-science books in the mould of Godel, Escher, Bach or The Emperor's New Mind for a shot at the NYT bestseller list.
A bit of calculating: It's typical to have about 250 words per page in a published book (unless it's really wide, or has fine print, or something), so that would come out to about 1200 pages. Of course, if it's printed with larger pages, it'll be around the same weight as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which had almost that many words.
