I have multiple copies of many of his books and often the thickness varies depending on the publisher or even the printing. Think I've had copies of the Del Rey paperback Martian Time-Slip that were of three visibly different thicknesses. Weren't all the Bluejay paperbacks unusually fat?
Hardcovers tend to be thicker than paperbacks or trade paperbacks. To not count stories, novelas, etc. because they are in anthologies or even the original magazine publications makes no sense to me. Especially the original publications which seem special to me and probably include some items that have never been reprinted. Has A. Lincoln, Simulacrum ever been published except in the orignal magazine appearance?
Standard book sizes and dimensions can vary by country as well as time.
Ace Doubles may be solid Dick or half someone else.
My suggestion is to take less of a "How long is it?" standard and use more of a "It ain't the meat. It's the motion." standard. -- You might want to rephrase that for your blog publication. It's not a very good way to express the idea. I just couldn't resist joining the humorous double entendre tone of this entry and some of the other comments.
