One question, I noticed that the pdf from from the onyxneon site is 185 pages long, when a previous draft which i downloaded from chromatic's site was 273 pages long.

Where did all those pages go?

The draft and printed book have 6" x 9" pages, while the free PDFs have letter and A4 pages.

Probably lost in revision... The 37signals guys said that Rework was twice as long in the last draft before the final draft.
