Large number of editions need combining

There are two pages of results and it's all the same book. I would think that most of these should need to be combined.

Combined a lot of stuff by this author.

Thanks! I want to confirm something. It is my understanding that one combines "editions" if they are the same book, but different format, i.e. Hardcover, paperback, ebook, Kindle, MP3, Audio, CD, etc. but NOT for omnibuses... omnibi? ... anyway, books that include that book plus others, or abridged editions, or "cliff notes" type things, but DO include foreign translations. Do I have that correct?

With the exception of the abridged editions (which seem to be case by case), entirely correct.

How interesting ... one of the reasons my librarian status was removed was because I supposedly combined editions incorrectly, but since I seem to know the correct way to do it, I'm very confused as to how I supposedly did it wrong ... maybe that's why I was never provided examples... ?
