Query - what counts as an edition

[James]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask this is!

Untold Stories is a big, long memoir and collection of non-fiction/autobiographical writings.

There are are four audiobook CD editions which abridged the book and split it across four separate discs, which were released separately with different ISBNs etc.

Untold Stories Part 1: Stories
Untold Stories Part 2: The Diaries
Untold Stories Part 3: Written on the Body
Untold Stories Part 4: A Common Assault


(There are quite a few duplicate listings which should also be tidied up)

At the moment these are classed as editions of 'Untold Stories'.

However, as they were published separately as "parts", should these in fact be separated into four discrete books? And then perhaps connected as a series?

[Scott]

They should be separated. Parts should never be combined with the whole, or with other parts.

Thank you for clarifying. That was my first thought but wanted to confirm. Much appreciated!
