My only comment would be change the "will" to "may" in the first sentence."At times all or part of a series will be released as an omnibus"
It should probably also be spelled out that the omnibus edition's title should be treated like any book's title and shouldn't have the series name appended to it if that's not already part of the book's title -- both of your examples here have titles which happen to include the series name, but not all omnibus titles do. For example:Seeker's Bane (Kencyrath, #3-4)
I'd also give an example that uses multiple volume numbers, like this one:The Fairy Charm Collection Vol 3 (Fairy Realm, #8-10)
Also, I put "Omnibus" in the Edition field, as well, should we put something like that in?
Great idea! Thanks for suggesting it vicki_girl!

I like this idea.
I like the idea of using the edition field! Is there anything other than "Omnibus" or "Boxed Set" that might fall under this rule?
Ok, I have updated to include the suggestions so far.----------------------------------------------------
At times all or part of a series may be released as an omnibus (multiple books re-printed in one book) or a boxed set. The books included in an omnibus or boxed set may or may not be consecutive in a series. The following formats should be used for these items.
Examples:
Goosebumps House of Horrors Boxed Set (Goosebumps, #1, #2, #10, #30)
Seeker's Bane (Kencyrath, #3-4)
The Fairy Charm Collection Vol 3 (Fairy Realm, #8-10)
In addition, "Omnibus" or "Boxed Set" may be added to the 'edition' field.
