Some volumes in a series seem to be marked as being editions of the same volume: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition... . All of the books listed on that page are different volumes in a series.

Fixed all those, and the other series, and all those authors too.
There are quite a few such instances out there; I take it volumes are all different entries, so to speak?I have left them alone, or contributed to the problem when faced with mixed choices but I will fix them as encountered unless I hear differently.
Yes Miss Jessie, they were all different volumes combined together.

1. Pieces of one book which have been split into different parts for publication
2. Books in a series where the individual books don't have individual names (as was the case here)
3. Books in a "collected works" set
In all cases the volumes should be treated as separate books from each other, following the "only combine things with the same content" rule. If a volume has the same content as a different edition, they can be combined. So, for example, you get things like "War and Peace: Large Print Volume I" and "War and Peace: cassette 1" combined with each other but not with "War and Peace" or with "War and Peace: Large Print Volume II"; or you get "War and Peace" combined with "Tolstoy Collected Works Volume VI: War and Peace" but not with "Tolstoy Collected Works Volume VII: Anna Karenina"; or you get "War and Peace: The Manga! Volume 1" separate from "War and Peace: The Manga! Volume 2", all of which examples I have just made up. :)
