An advantage to purchasing the 5-volume books is the stories are available for less than half of the price of individual books!  The only disadvantage is that the five-volume editions do not contain illustrations.  For this reason, I recommend that young readers -- 8 and 9-year olds -- read the individual books if the titles are available.

*Notes: 
1) These study guide books do not come in booklet form (like the individual study guides).  The guides are printed on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper and are bound with a black, spiral binding.  
2) Pages numbers are also included for individual books, so these 5-volume study guide books can also be used with the individual TRAILBLAZER books.
