Combining the Books with Tons o' Comments

I'm confused. While it isn't possible to delete an edition with many reviews, it certainly is possible to combine editions -- or it was the last time I tried!
Can you give an example of one that cannot be combined?

There's a bunch of Treasure Island books where the author's name is misspelled, I see. I fixed one and found 4 others to combine so there are 171 vs. 166 combined. Some of those MIGHT need to be separated; I didn't look. There are others with misspellings still. No time now to fix. But most of the editions appear to be combined. Treasure Island is also in books with other books and those can never be combined, so reviews & comments from those books will remain separate. Ah well.
I fixed all the alternate author spellings I found, and combined editions. I think I got them all, but probably a good idea if someone else double-checked.

Found one more Stevensen and fixed & combined, but didn't check to see if any needed separating. Treasure Island is just overwhelming. Although it can be really fun to combine books!
Oh, I get lazy too. :) But it's a Sunday afternoon, and the kids are at their dad's. (And if I do stuff here, I can feel productive AND avoid doing the work I brought home. So it's a win-win! ;) )
