Must there be a dividing line. I say this because when searching a

disparate sub collections.

Normal book cataloguing may only note lead author/s/editor/s and not
the content authors.
Television today, Practice and Principles clearly explained 2 vols
about 1936 (no date in book) Newnes
is possibly an example
Vol1 http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=BK119
Vol2 http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=BK120
I think I would struggle to fit that in a MARC record.
A researcher working on O.S. Puckle needs a book like that cataloguing
to a better level to find content.
Also a normal but old text book like
Modern workshop practice E. Pull, Crosby Lockwood, 1914
A particular edition contains some bound in plates with no mention in
the text but are a good series of pictures of Walker Bros works in
Wigan.
