I can't even begin to guess at how you got these numbers!
Easy:
  1. Find a list of "well-known" books
  2. Write a script that does the following:
    1. Counts number of books (titles)
    2. Counts number of titles that contain exactly 11 characters
    3. Eliminate any titles that do not match the known letters
    4. Count and print out the possible titles
  3. Run the script using your list and the letters currently known!
