Riddle

At least not for me

I have never heard the word tome before.

It's spanish probably. That thing that encyclopedias have a lot, and that aren't pages

My encyclopedia has covers, but let's ignore them

EDIT: I just looked it up, and it appears... Tome: A book, especially a large, heavy, scholarly one. Mine are not very heavy nor very large. It is a compact encyclopedia (288 pages on average is a small one).

tome = large volume. English

psymon, answer in post #270

Answer to the answer: post #273: My encyclopedia has covers, but let's ignore them

The response is still incorrect, I think, I may have miscounted

ok

Let's say each tome has 288 riddle-approved entities, if you want

I repeat the riddle.

I have here an encyclopedia with 22 tomes, with an average of 288 pages each. The typical bookworm that lives with me ate my encyclopedia last night. From the first page of the first book, to the last page of the last book. Naturally, this morning I found a worm two or three sizes bigger than I had before. Anyway, how many pages has my bookworm eaten?

haha ^

If someone already knows it, please don't spoil it for the rest!

Do the tomes share a page each? Like the last page of 1 is the first page of the next?

No, 22 tomes, 288 pages per tome. What you say is a very big book

Wait are these like 1, 2, 3, 4... through 22?
Or 22, 21, 20... you tricky ****
