Books to be combined or separted

The Savage Land series is byMichael Jensen ((1) out of several authors with that name). There are two books in the series Frontiers and Firelands, which were later re-issued with revisions under the titles Man & Beast and Man & Monster (no touchstone) respectively. "Frontiers" and "Man & Beast" have been combined but "Firelands" and "Man & Monster" have not.

For consistency's sake is it better to separate out the first book in the series or combine the two versions of the second book? If it makes a difference, I don't know how extensive the revisions were in either case.

I've separated out the two books then I added a work to work relationship to prevent the recombination.

>2 gilroy: So, should Man & Beast and Man & Monster be in the original series, or do they need to be linked in a different series?

The author's website says of each of the two books, 'was previously published under the title' which sounds like there wasn't that much revision. But other way, it looks like they should all be in the series.

If there's nothing to suggest that the revisions were significant then I think both sets of works should be combined. It's just better to keep things simple unless you have to complicate it
