What is the average number of chapters per book?

Depends entirely on the book! Most of your basic paperbacks found in airport bookstores likely have between 20-40 chapters. Some books haven't got chapters at all - Terry Pratchett usually writes without them. Children's books will only have a few chapters.

The average number of chapters per book varies greatly. Children's books generally have fewer chapters, probably around 10 to 20. Adult books can have from 30 to 70 chapters.
