Is it one page per level, i.e. 1st level spell uses one page; 9th level spell uses 9 pages? Trying to work out the mechanics of how many books my mage may need.
That's a decent house rule, particularly given the wording for adding and copying spells in the 2014 rules. But by RAW there are no details given for this and the RAI is likely that it will all always fit into one single spellbook.
For 3.5e: "A spell takes up one page of the spellbook per spell level. Even a 0-level spell (cantrip) takes one page. A spellbook has one hundred pages."
A Spellbook is deliberately left vague, having a 100 pages to contain the level 1+ spells you know, so you never have to worry about that level of details. It could be 1 spell per page or even more for that matter for it will fit. #onesizefitall

That detail is not explained in the rules, but there was something in AD&D 2e and 3e/3.5e though.
EDIT: ninja'd by up2ng!
rakhir06 if it helps you, for example in AD&D 2e: How Many Pages in a Spell Book?
