This drives me nuts. The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (or variations thereof) is a pretty common name for Poe collections, but the page consists of enitrely different collections from different publishers. I once took out the version that I own (by Vintage) but didn't dare try to disentagle the rest for fear that I would be doing it for the rest of my life. Later on, someone trying to "help" added it again.
Even if all of the editions are "complete" and contain the same content (minus the hackneyed introductions and essays by others), shouldn't they have their own pages?

Also (my apologies for double posting, but there is no edit feature), it may look easy to just spot your edition and take it out, but have a look at the entry on the combine/separate works page for Poe. They all have similar or the same names and there are often different entries for the same edition, which means you have to go through a lot of trial and error before you have all of the same works out for combining.
I think we should separate all of the works and combine them where appropriate, but even so, there's nothing to stop someone else from coming in and ruining all of your hard work---well, maybe not hard, but definitely tedious.

Though there is a problem with sloppy terminology on the LT site, the consensus is that the individual is cataloging a 'book', but LT is grouping different editions of the same 'work'. Thus, The Complete Poe, regardless what arrangement, typeface, and/or binding your 'book' is in, is the same 'work' as my copy of Stories for Poe People: the Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe. And, The Complete Short Stories of E.A. Poe is the same work as Every Short Story Poe Ever Wrote, but not the same work as Selected Poe Stories.
The point is, one creates one's catalog so one can keep up with all the information about one's 'books', but LTers maintain the connections (between editions, tags, etc) to connect people with a common interest in a work or a type of work. And, generally, people with the complete works of E.A. Poe will want to find each other, whether it's in a three volume set, a fat paperback, or a leather-bound limited edition with a special forward by the grandson of Poe's third cousin, twice removed.
There are gray areas in all of this, and much debate about the finer points (is my copy of Selected Poe Stuff the same work as your copy of Selected Works of E.A. Poe?), but that's the general approach the LT librarians take when combining or separating.
