According to the awesome Peter Ahlstrom in Tor.Coms Chapter One comments section:

 

The first proof of AMOL in hardcover came to 909 pages.

Man i was hoping for at least 1000 pages.

Well...that was a first proof. If anything gets added....it will clear a thousand. The paperback should be about 1,100.

I know it was likely coincidental and probably won't stay that way, but I like the idea of the number 909. Its like a palindrome, same forwards as it is backwards (I know it usually only applies to words, but hell why not). As the wheel of time is a circle without ending or beginning, 909 is a number that reads the same in both directions.

Nice catch!
