The 4 volumes offer in total 1792 characters and about 7168 words.
Each volume has also a booklet that allows you to search on pinyin, character or translation. Volume 1 starts with more frequently used words and the volumes built up on that. All are printed in easy to read fonts by the way.

These are very handy little cards that cover the first several hundred words in the Chinese official vocab, meaning that once you've mastered them all you've covered enough to be able to understand most written Chinese that you'll find. The cards may be a little small for some, and the text can be on the tiny side, but they do a very useful job.
I really recommend getting these with the Tuttle Learning Chinese Characters volume 1 book Learning Chinese Characters: v. 1 which follows the same list of words and has some handy mnemonics to help you learn. Within an hour I'd learnt 16 Chinese characters - that's 7% of the most frequently used ones! Hard to believe...
Together, the cards and book are an excellent combination, strongly recommended!

Before buying these I checked the reviews on other sights and the American Amazon and then bought these based on those reviews.
I can now so I am so glad that I did, alike many of the Tuttle Library products I own these are very good.
They're laid out brilliantly, they contain the traditional and simplied characters, pin yin on the back, English meaning and example sentences and/or phrases. On top of that they're not at all expensive.
After buying these I bought the Korean in a Flash v.1 for my Korean studies too! I really can't say enough good things about them.
