Oh, Richard, this is very nice! I tried adding the volumes as links on the edition, but unfortunately links get moved to the Work and are supposed to be links to things outside of OL, but I think an Edition-level link would do it. It is possible to add more than one Archive number for an Edition. I tried doing that, but my added link doesn't seem to take.... I'll check to see if this is a known bug. In any case, all you see is the archive ID, and it isn't clear what volume goes with which ID unless you're something of an insider.
