Riddle for the day

[john_p]

On a bookshelf there are ten volumes of an encyclopedia. Each front and back cover is 0.25" thick and the total thickness of pages between the covers is 1.5".

What is the distance between page 1 of Volume 1 and the final page of Volume 10 ?

Nope, they are arranged 1-10, in order, horizontally left to right as you look at the shelf.
