The time it would take to copy a book by hand would depend on the length of the book, the size of the text, and the speed and handwriting skills of the person copying it. On average, it is estimated that a person can copy about 20 pages of text in an hour. So, for a book with 300 pages, it would take about 15 hours to copy by hand. This could be done in a few days or spread out over a week or more, depending on how much time the person dedicates to the task each day.
