An Appetite For Books Nursery Rhyme

Wuzzy, a voracious reader,
chewed through books, a reading speeder.
A vocabulary leader,
gobbled all her folks would feed her.

On her shelf, a ten volume set,
one that she had not read yet.
Covers each an eighth inch thick,
thousand page tomes, four-inch bricks.

Wuzzy could not help herself;
devoured them right on the shelf.
Starting at book one, page one,
she chewed till ten’s last page was done.

So here’s a puzzle just for you:
what length of books did Wuzzy chew through?
