Well, the logical answer is yes. Provided you retain and use the material otherwise you may forget it.

It is always advisable to read as many books as possible on your chosen subjects. The only way to decipher fact from myth or theory is to spot connections in several books. Historical books for example. One can say one thing while the other something completely different. So you have to read more books and see which details keep popping up. They are most likely the true facts.

To start with, "a lot" is a relative measurement :)
But to answer your question, Not automatically, no.
It depends on the person's capacity for learning, their memorization, applied learning curve and whether they can understand the material.
If all that applies, and the material is of a technical nature, then it's conceivable they may now know MORE than they did before.
But .. whether that qualifies as 'a lot'... it's possible depending on your measure of their ability before and after on the subject :)

Only if you understand the words. The true test of whether you understand something is whether or not you can think of something original to say on that subject. That is also the difference between a masters and a doctorate.

depends on how well you soak up knowledge and how vast the subject is. You could read a series on dog breeding and be practically an expert on dog breeding. But read a series on mental disorders and you could still be lacking on tons of different disorders and how they effect individuals and families.

Not necessarily so.
You need to update with what you're reading.
Information and knowledge changes by the seconds.
Remember, there so many unversities in the world.
So imagine the amount of facilitation in researching
or discovering through a new perspectives to that particular
series of books. There's always competition. Hence,
you need to update yourself through reading more
from others' perspective.

Depends on your retention ability.
Plus it depends on who wrote/published this series and if its one perspective or many. Plus how well they know the subject. I could write a book on something like fishing, and it would suck, but you could still read it, and know less than me.

You can't readily prove that!
But certainly all of what you read was added into your knowledge stock!
So, by means of it we became sharper to that certain kind of subject and can easly understand it well when few related topics came!

It means you know what's been written about the subject.

Depends on the level of detail and variety in the books, and how well you understand them
