Eating from the inside cover of the first book to the back cover of the last boook, will take the bookworm 25 full books (that is from B to Z) and for book A, the total distance should be subtracted by 1/4 (that is the length of the inside cover)
                          total distance covered = (2)(25) + (2 - 1/4)
