I've proofread three of the chapters. There are 340 of them in the version of the ebook that I was sent, and the whole thing runs over 2000 pages. At roughly 250 words per page, that's 500k words.

So, basically what alexvermeer said - pretty much all of them.

Does anyone know what happened to the version that was supposed to be reviewed/edited down by a professional so it could be publishable length? There's so much good stuff there I'd love to be able to send to friend and family but 500k worth of blog posts is much harder to send someone than a nicely published 200k version.
