I'll go back and double check all the totals since there's some confusion, Lesle.
And we posted at the same time!

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

Rosemarie I added them up and have

Group Total = 278,106

The only one I did get I believe is Anna's as she did not give page totals!!

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

Please make sure you take the prior comments Group Total + your own total = New Group Total:


Group Total Prior = 278,106

If you want to double check me I am totally ok with that!!

New Group Total = 278,539

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

I started adding them up but it's taking forever, so I'll trust your total Lesle. I lost 10 pages somewhere, but it's definitely not that far off your answer. I probably forget to carry a one since I'm adding the old-fashioned way-with pen and paper!

All I can say is "Wow"!

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

I did use the Calculator on my laptop!!!

Thanks for double checking. I would take old school over modern any day!!!
