This is the key. Especially in the early game, and especially as a priest or druid, you need to conserve your offensive spell castings. These spellbooks are somewhat uncommon for divine casters, so you can't use them to kill every rat and goblin. Train up weapons and missiles just like normal, except use your spells to clear big groups or particularly dangerous monsters. As the game progresses, you'll eventually end up with more than enough spellbooks.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
