total. I had to skip posts 1191 and 1200 for indecipherable information.
This would have been easier also if all posts had their listed book pgs totaled.
I show the grand total at 827,250. I will not guarantee it's correct but it was too many numbers to double check. 🙂Maybe it doesn't even matter since we
are clearly over 800,000.
Grand total 827,250
