As counter-examples:
A book I created in Word 97 on a 200 MHz machine: 270 pages (single-spaced),
highly formatted, including hundreds of photos and tables and a 16-page
index
A book I created in Word 2002: 628 pages (single-spaced), highly formatted
(including three or four different fonts), with placeholders for
photographs, and an index.
Both books were camera-ready copy.
Also, note that 1.5 x the normal leading is not "double spaced" by any
definition.
