Same Collection, Multiple Publishers

[Drace]

Just a question regarding short story collections by authors who are in the public domain.

As an example, the posthumous short story collection Collected Ghost Stories by M.R. James has been published by Oxford University Press. Because these stories are all in the public domain, other publishers have also put together collections with the same name collecting the same stories. However, the Oxford edition is unique in that it has an introduction and annotations by a specific writer, which the other editions don't have. Would this be cause to have the Oxford editions as a separate and unique work from the more generic editions that are just the stories and nothing else, or would they stay on the same Editions page?
