That looks very like the place I found the figures I quoted, although I'm sure it wasn't here. Don't think I've seen this page before. On my current book (not finished but nearly) I have 97705 words, and it suggests 257 paperback pages and 466 printed (hardback?) pages, which comes out at 210 words per page in hardback and 380 words per page in paperback.
