Nonfiction books are typically around 300 pages because that’s what sells, and to hit 300 pages, authors often need to add a lot of fluff.
Agreed. That’s why when I occasionally find a book less than 300 pages (say at only 100-200 pages), I think, “Wow, this author managed to not only streamline the book, but also convinced their publishing house that the book is better for it.” This makes me want to read that streamlined book more.
