2) If the individual items are being analyzed, include the edition
statement of each in its bibliographic record; do not make a note for the various edition
statements on the record for the whole set.
3) If the individual volumes are not being analyzed, specify in a note the
various edition statements on the bibliographic record for the set. In complex
situations, make only a general note.
Vol. 3: 2nd ed.
Includes various editions of some vols.

4) A set originally covered by one record for all volumes may eventually
come to include more than one edition of more than one or more volumes. This may then
cause a variance either with the edition area of the record or with a specific note for
edition statements made under the immediately preceding instructions. When this occurs,
replace the specific note as necessary and use also instead the same general note:
Includes various editions of some vols.
