Paper was very expensive when he wanted to publish the book due to a shortage, so he divided it into three parts so it was affordable for both the publisher to print and reader to purchase.

Am I missing something, or is the logical part of my brain malfunctioning ?

How on earth would dividing the book to three parts save in the total amount of paper needed ?

The same amount of pages = the same amount of paper needed, regardless of to how many books it is printed.
