Thanks. The book ended up as 61,000 words - which is not that much compared to all-text books - but lots of pages of resume examples. A "normal" 200 page book could have up to double the number of words (100-120K words). Just want to add that detail, as a "normal" 200-page book in two months would be much more impressive.
I originally aimed for a ~40 page book - a PDF initially -, assumed it will have a few chapters at most. As I started writing and pulling in more advice from recruiters and hiring managers, the chapters added up.
In what is pretty usual for projects you do the first time, I under-estimated the scope, as well as the time it will take. My original budget for time was a month. Not too different from some software projects in a completely new domain :)
