Omnibus Collections

[Harm]

for those of you who have read the omnibus collections, I have a question.
At the store near me where I buy anything and everything Buffy, they only have
the obnibus one and threethey don't have two. Would it be helpful
to read two before three or does it really matter? thanks! : king :

The stories are arranged chronologically, but I don't know that any story threads carry through from one volume to the next. Do they?

I think they're all basically self-contained, small arcs.

You don't need to read two to read three. However strangely enough you do need to read one to read two as two carries on the pre-Sunnydale stories for half of it. After that though it moves onto random, individual non-Dawn stories so I don't think it'll effect your reading of three
