Compare the story coverage as well as the binding. Each edition has a page listing every book in it, with its ISBN and release date.
Which edition to buy
Begin with Z single Volume 1 after the earlier sixteen-book Dragon Ball run. A first-time reader should start with Dragon Ball Volume 1. This catalog covers twenty-six Z singles, nine Z VIZBIG books and the complete Z box; full-color lines, Super, spinoffs and historical printings are outside its scope.
Z VIZBIG books contain three singles each through book 8; final book 9 contains Z singles 25–26. The box contains singles 1–26, a booklet and poster. Both repeat material when bought alongside the corresponding singles.
The continuous 3-in-1 run is in the Dragon Ball catalog. It keeps one title across both singles runs, and book 6 contains Dragon Ball 16 plus Z 1–2; book 7 contains Z 3–5. It is not a substitute for Z single Volume 6. Compare contained volumes before switching editions. These are US publisher list prices, not stock promises; no anime continuation point is inferred.
