Nice! Interesting to see the range of fantasy novel lengths.

I wonder how many of the pages in the historical books come from the reference section.

Yeah, most fantasy books are in the 400-700 range but at the lower end I’ve got a couple novellas and at the upper end I’ve got Sanderson, Tad Williams and Steven Erikson 😅

The “Historical” section is actual “Historical Fiction” (bad label I just realized), so no reference. The “History” genre is probably about 15% references on average.

I’ve got them grouped into fiction and non-fiction internally, so in my database it does makes sense (:
