Very cool. Could you add in a DMG type book for Pathfinder, for comparison of "three books"? I would argue that the 3E DMG wasn't really needed either, but a 3-core set seems like the right method of comparison across editions.
I don't think that would make for a valid comparison. It's less important to compare the specific number of volumes than the volumes that contain roughly equivalent content and purpose. The PF Core Rulebook contains most of the rule material of the 3.5 DMG including encounter design, experience and treasure awards, magic items, NPC design, and environmental rules.
And I don't think I would argue that the DMG was not really needed in 3e considering the content it had.
