I mean each edition is like 3 hardcover books, right?

Yeah, I kind of thought it was three books because of supporting both games.

The first book is a scan of the original plus numerous essays. The second one is the converted adventure, the third one extra material that expands the adventure. The first one, from my understanding, should be identical in the 5e and DCC versions, while the latter two are different.
I was tempted to just get the pdf for $50, but pulled the trigger for the hardcopy too.

Unfortunately, knowing myself, a PDF is never gonna do it. If this old man really wants to absorb something with the plans to run it, he needs it in print with highlighter, pen, and post-its in hand with an easy ability to flip back and forth between pages.

“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
Same. No idea if I’ll use it, but back in the day I always felt like the kid at the un-cool table (yes, even among early 80’s gamers) for not having experienced it.

Mine rolled a one. Somehow I'm OK with that.

Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower
The classic tabletop RPG adventure returns for the 5E and DCC RPG rules sets!

Best approach, I think, is not to look at it as a story-like module with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Instead look at it as a random funhouse type of place where the characters can go in all kinds of different directions and no matter where they go, something cool and-or whimsical will await them there.
Put another way, other than a couple of sections there's little enough connection between the various rooms that taking a simple room-by-room approach is good enough. There is a write-up in the module on how the different deities interact and why they don't get along, which is worth reading if you intend to keep that backstory, but that's probably about all the pre-reading you need.

Nothing stops you from adding an entrance wherever you like. I did, when I ran it, as for a bunch of reasons I wanted a back entrance leading to a different part of my game world.
Yes, that's part of the point.
Which in my view is excellent dungeon design!
One tip that might help you sort out the connections: photocopy the maps and write notes on those copies indicating which connection goes where.
Got an email update for this Kickstarter that otherworld miniatures has a line for dark tower adventure.
Looking at some of this minis, couple of those villains look interesting
