"Crisis on Infinite Earths" Questions

[mkb28]

Hello Everyone:

Since the airing of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event on the CW, I have been wanting to read the series. I recently purchased the TPB that collects issues all 12 issues. Do I need to purchase and read the three collected editions of all the tie-in stories to have the complete story or can I get by with just reading the TPB? If I do need to read the tie-in stories, is there a recommended reading order listed anywhere?

Thanks,

Michael

I read it without the tie-ins and it made perfect sense.
