I have just finished reading A Christian Directory (I read a few pages every Lord's Day for 3 and a half years). I highly recommend making the effort to read all of it. While it may seem daunting, it is worth the effort.

I saw the four-volume set at Books by the Park back in October. You might contact them to see if it is still available.
