Could I read the entire Sand Omnibus, which includes novels 1 - 5 and is a total of 336 pages?

Sorry, no. The book you read must be #4 in a series, and must be identified as such on GR. The Sand Omnibus is not #4 in a series.

Hm, okay. I don't typically read series, so this is a bit of a challenge for me. How about this: Ms. Marvel, Vol. 4? It's 100+ pages so it should meet the Graphic Novel SRC requirements.

Would Chew, Vol. 4: Flambeado work?

It's the 4th trade (i.e. collected issues), but it includes issues #16 to #20. The series in GR only lists trade paperbacks, but the numbering follows that of individual issues.

Sorry, no - it must be identified on GR as #4 in the series, not 16-20.
