Complete Works of E.M Bounds - Confusing information

I just purchased the Complete Works of E.M. Bounds that's on sale. Logos advertises the books as his complete works on prayer. As far as I can tell, the book itself is simply titled "The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds." But since the books within it are all about prayer, Logos' description here is accurate.

However, according to "Information" (CTRL-Shift-I) within the book, E.M. Bounds wrote 11 total books with 9 on prayer, but the book only includes 8. It seems like there is misinformation somewhere.

Interesting little rabbit trail. The information page seems to be based entirely on the top lines wikipedia article on E.M. Bounds. That page contains a link to a dissertation on Bounds, specifically on the theological question of God's sovereignty versus the influence of prayer in Bound's theological thinking as can dedued by his writings. In an appendix it lists the books Bounds wrote (only two of which where published during hs lifetime) and states about our Complete Works book:

"The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer is a printing of eight of Bounds’ works, but does not include his books on the resurrection, heaven, and Satan."

11 - 3 is 8, and from the titles it seems we have all his books about prayer ("Power through Prayer" was Bounds' first book and initially published under the title "Preacher and Prayer"). The book on Satan - fully titled "Satan: His Personality, Power and Overthrow", also republished under the titles "Winning the Invisible War" and "Guide to Spiritual Warfare" - presumably also contains some material about prayer, but more likely the counting of nine books on prayer was an error in wikipedia since they listed both "Preacher and Prayer" and "Power through Prayer" in his published works - which then contained nine on prayer, but totalled 12.

what is the difference between this and the volumes you purchase separately.

I'm not sure there is a difference. The Complete Works on Prayer contains the same eight books we can buy separately. From comparing a single page each from two of those books (i.e. not an exhaustive sample), it seems they are word for word the same - there's no real front matter that would give information.
