Hi, I'm looking at works in archive.org, and I see that the catalogue records for multi-volume works includes a separate record for each volume, typically without a volume number.
E.g. http://openlibrary.org/works/OL20752W/Works_containing_additional_letters_tracts_and_poems_not_hitherto_published <http://openlibrary.org/works/OL20752W/Works_containing_additional_letters_tracts_and_poems_not_hitherto_published>where it looks like there are multiple editions, when in fact they are (almost) all separate volumes of the same edition. There's nowhere in Edit that lets me add a volume number, which means that a user would have to open each volume separately to find out which volume it is. Obviously, best practice would be to have all volumes listed as items under a single title, but it doesn't look like OL is set up for that. Next best would be to include the volume number in the title, to distinguish them. Thoughts?
