The external ToC works very well for "giving an easily read list of the several titles included in the collection".

+Book 01
+Book 02
+Book 03
+book 04

Then when you go to Book 01 and expand it, you get all the ToC entries for that book. It's a lot easier then having to jump around to 4 different internal ToCs. Plus, it looks nicer, works better and is easier to get to.

The way you suggest means we have to go to the external ToC to then have to jump to a page in the book to then jump to someplace else. That's extra hassle not needed at all.
