Thanks everyone. I agree with most of the comments, but for book design knowing the cpp counts can be very useful in making the right choices for text fonts, even in this digital age. I do quite a bit of college textbook design, and sometimes book length can be a problem for the publisher. Resetting the type for already completed chapters is not really an option. ($$$ and time will not permit it). And I did find an old PDF from Adobe with cpp counts.
