Hello.
According to the founder of online bookseller Alibris.com, an
average-sized book weighs 12 ounces.
"We analyzed all the books sold by our booksellers and determined that
the average book weighs 12 ounces and over 75% weighed under 1 pound
and eight ounces."

If you prefer the metric system, 12 ounces is equivalent to about 340
grams since there are approximately 28.3 grams per ounce.
