Does anyone know of a website that will tell you how many words certain books contain?

Thanks

All I've ever found is lists of the longest books by word count. Wikipedia has a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lon... .

You can get a rough estimate by counting the words on one page and multiplying times the number of pages. You can get an even rougher count by counting the words on several lines, averaging words per line, counting the lines on the page, and multiplying by lines on a page and total pages.
