Even easier to visualize: a ream of paper (for example, what you put in your printer) is 500 sheets. So, stack five of those on top of each other, and you have 5000 pages (plus a little extra for the wrappers.
Needless to say, it's nowhere near the tower pictured in the photo.
EDIT: corrected "sheets" for my previous, incorrect "pages", which changed the number of reams to five.

- jlgosse 16y agoNo, but ten of those stacks might be a lot closer. Check your math!
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI had ten originally, but then I was reminded that 1 sheet equals two pages (recto and verso). So, 5000 pages = 2500 sheets = 5 reams. Even ten reams is significantly smaller than the tower pictured, though.
