Talk:The Chronicles of Amber (omnibus)

To which book(s) does / should this article refer?
Since there are multiple books published with the title (or sub-title) "Chronicles of Amber", I was wondering how best to reference them in this "The Chronicles of Amber (omnibus)" article. On first reading the article appeared to be (only) about the 1999 SFBC publication titled The First Chronicles of Amber - but then it seems the article's title was wrong (incomplete / imprecise). Since there have been several similarly-titled publications sometimes containing very different* content, I thought it might help to describe these 'other' publications more explicitly in the article itself. I have added some new text with references to the various "...Chronicles of Amber..." publications to date (mid 2012) that (I hope) makes the distinctions clear. I also added infoboxes for each of the mentioned books in order to capture cover art, detailed publication info, cover artist info, etc. for each of these anthologies. I'm not certain this is "proper" Wikipedia format (is there a consensus against including multiple infoboxes in a single article?) but it seemed to make things clearer (to me) / solved a few problems without burdening the article itself with additional descriptive text. If the additional infoboxes are later removed, I hope the remover finds an elegant way to capture some of the infobox info in the article itself and minimize ambiguity.




 * *e.g. The Chronicles of Amber, Volume 2 and The Second Chronicles of Amber have completely different content.
