Agreed, but I've checked a few books and for a normal book with normal font, it's just a little under 400 words per page. I tested a hardback book, which is about 13 cm wide and, say, 21 high, and it was so, then I checked the paperback of the same book, and it was identical, although the paperback was much smaller (don't have it here to measure). The paperback just had a smaller font. Looked like they'd used the same pdf!
So the OPs 250 page book is of the order of 100,000 words.
That's only a rule of thumb, and it's my rule of thumb. Ymmv.
