<p>Hey when buying the Direct Hits Vocabulary book do I have to buy both volumes 1 and 2? Or does volume 2 encompass the words in volume 1?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Volume 1 and Volume 2 are different. Volume 1 has chapters on Core Words (ie level 3 and 4 words), People (charlatan, iconoclast), Word Histories and Prefixes. Volume 2 has chapters on literary terms, science and social science words, words with multiple meanings and 100 level 5 words. These books really helped me. They lived up to their name and delivered hits. Plus the examples are really good. Hope this helps.</p>
