okay - a fun thread...
What build uses the most books(source material) for PFS? (the class should be able to effectively USE the equipment/stuff from the book, not just buy it)
off the top of my head I'm going to say a Wizard with a dip in a rogue class. That covers magic, spells, equipment(incl alch gear), and junk for roguish skills (lol) that could be traps. Their divine worship would bring in some summon monster lists and thus divine focused books.

I'm gonna vote Wizard/fighter, possibly into eldritch knight. Spells have the highest possible number of books that can be used, and a spellbook could have 1 spell from each book with spells (as well as a "basic competency" set). So, what is likely to show up in books without spells? Feats. We therefore need a lot of feats to spend.

I usually print out watermarked pages from my .pdf library and keep them in a folder with my character sheet and Chronicles and so on. One of them has pages from 27 additional resources.
Now, admittedly, it’s a bit of a cheat because the character I’m talking about is a 3rd level brawler and all those books are sources for feats he might use with his Martial Flexibility class feature. I went through every combat feat he was eligible for and made a list of those I could imagine he might make use of in a published scenario. The list has 80 items and 54 of them are from additional resources.

I would imagine Alchemists would beat them. You have spells, alchemical items, discoveries, possibly domains, familiars, familiar archetypes, funky cool special rules, and I'm sure I am missing more.
EDIT:Actually yeah my alchemist has to win if sacrament alchemist bypasses the cost of replacing a familiar because you just forget the discovery completely.
Here is her source list:
Advanced Player's Guide
Ultimate Magic
Healer's Handbook
Ultimate Euipment
Champions of Purity
Advanced Race Guide
People of Sands (Not sure why I would every use said source...)
Magical Marketplace (Why is the linch pin of my build in this book?)
Any book that contains a legal familiar.....
Alchemy Manual (Duh)
Bastards of Golarion (She's a half orc)
If I really wanted to I could blow that list up even more as another non-PFS incarnation of her includes Chronicle of the Righteous/Inner Sea Gods which also if I really wanted to meant I could have used Divine Anthology. Since she worships Desna core is fine.
