3 + 5/8 if
you're going to start inside V1 and they're all 1" thick
and 5
covers to go through.
wouldn't it be 3.5 inches? Starts page 1 vol 1, ends last page vol 3,
so
that's only 4 covers to go thru (back of vol 1, front of vol 2, back of
vol 2, front vol 3).
So that's 3 books of pages at 1 inch per book, 3 * 1 = 3
4 covers at 1/8 per cover is 4 * 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2
3 inches of text + 1/2 inch of covers = 3.5 inches that the worm
travels.

if the books are in normal array on a shelf:
back cover of vol1 | last page of vol1 | vol1 | START = 1st page of
vol1 -> front cover of vol1 -> back cover of vol2 -> vol2 -> front
cover of vol2 -> back cover of vol3 -> last page of vol3 = END | vol3 |
front cover of vol3 ----- so 4 covers and i volume for the journey -
