Why this decision was made

The records represent the same literary work (Alice, The Mysteries) by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. However, they are distinct editions: one is a specific sequel volume ('Alice, The Mysteries') continuing the Ernest Maltravers saga, while the other is explicitly marked as 'Complete', suggesting it may be a full collection or a different compilation of the work. Per policy, different volumes and materially different editions are considered distinct records.
