I got curious as to how many Blessed Books it would take to scribe every first party Wiz/Sorc spell on the PFSRD. The answer is a little over 5 and a quarter.

The PFsrd currently has the below for number of spells at each level:

28 0lvl
168 1st lvl
238 2nd lvl
234 3rd lvl
184 4th lvl
157 5th lvl
115 6th lvl
95 7th lvl
63 8th lvl
56 9th lvl

With each spell taking 1 page per spell level, this breakdown gives us a total of 5258 pages worth of spells. Since a Blessed Book has 1000 pages, it would take 6 Blessed Books to hold every Wiz/Sorc spell on the SRD. This would cost 75,000GP to buy or 37,500GP to craft, and does not include the cost of acquiring the spells to begin with.

Later when I have gotten some sleep, or if someone else wishes to, there will be a breakdown of the cost to buy scrolls of or viewing of the requisite number of spells to fill these books.

It's interesting that 1st level spells are only the 4th most numerous variety.

I was aware of the glut of 2nd level spells, but I never really realized that 3rd level spells are nearly as populous.
