The publisher of Bill Clinton's forthcoming memoir is "despairing" that the ex-president hasn't churned out enough pages....

This is weird. Cindy Adams wrote in the Post yesterday that his handwritten manuscript was quite long - 4000 pages.

Bill Clinton's Very Long Life (claims bio is 4,000 pages longhand, will have $35+ price tag)

Maybe he's writing it on Post-Its.

Hellary was on LKL recently telling how she's read his manuscript, that he is doing final revisions on it and she thinks it's a great book

Yah, that is very long, but that does NOT square with the $35 range---if it is 3,000 text pages in typeset, we're talking $60.

4000 pages means nothing unless we know how many words he has per page. If his writing is 3rd-grader scrawl (and if he has problems with ATMs and palm pilots, it probably is), 4000 pages translates to a 100-200 page book at best.

I bet this article refers to "usable" pages. Pages that survive vetting and editing.

While he may have churned out 4000 pages (yellow legal pad, per that USA Today article I linked yesterday), I bet the majority was even worse crap than what ends up between hardcovers.
