Tidying up a trilogy and a single book with the same name

The German editions, Nette Aussichten, both come in at 187 pages on WorldCat. It seems reasonable that they would be the third book and not the trilogy.
The Dutch edition, Wat heet hoop, I believe to be the trilogy. The paperback edition on the publishers site states 464 pages and links, as another edition, the eBook with the same ISBN listed here.
I'm not sure about the Mme Spl books. My first thought was that it was a Not a Book Item like a 12c cp (which would be a 12-copy counterpack) or other promotional item. But a search on Google for "Mme Spl" only brings up results for the first three books in this series (Never Mind, Bad News and Some Hope). The first 19 pages of results related to this books before the search finally got to a point where it was finding gibberish. I'm now wondering if this is some sort of special edition of these books?
There is nothing we can do about reviews. Unfortunately when there are books that get confused like this, it's up to the user to notice and switch their reviews to the other book.
But I still need to check all the others listed under "Some Hope" (the one in "This topic is about") to finish separating the single volume from the trilogy volumes. The problem is that some of them don't have ISBN's or are in languages I don't know.
What do I do about the lack of ISBN's?
The edition called Some Hope Individual Mme Spl (Paperback) only seems to have that ISBN listed on Amazon and nowhere else, with no further info about it.
Also, some people's reviews that are now under the trilogy volume sound as if they're of the single book.
