  ccording
to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English
Language, a 'book
worm' is not a worm at all but is either the larva of
any of various insects
that infest books and feed on the paste in the bindings
or a person who
spends much time reading or studying.
A bookworm of whatever kind comes upon
a set of three
appetizing books sitting on a shelf. By coincidence,
each book has exactly
three hundred pages. The worm begins his or her
literary feast on page
1 of Volume 1 and stops at page 300 of
Volume 3.
