No, the complete collection is three books.
If by paperback releases, there are two kinds, you can see both in this picture.
The big three in the top-left, (The Authoritative, Essential, and Indispensable - named so because they are none of these), are larger and more complete, I believe. The smaller ones at the bottom are more focused, I think. But some (like the 10th anniversary book), include little notes and stuff from Bill I don't think you get in other volumes.
EDIT: I can't read or write (changed a word).

They were nifty. It included notes on particular strips and his thoughts on them, as well as larger things like merchandising and dealing with his syndicate.

Is the complete collection all of the comics in a single book? I used to have all of the individual paperback releases, I think there was one per year or something. Those were easy to read in bed.
