I know that this has been discussed, but can't find the thread(s) right now.
Why is it that the "separate" button doesn't work for "title missing" books and other phantom copies of books?
Example - Under editions of Tolkien's The Return of the King is listed: Title missing (690 copies separate).
That's almost 5% of the total, assuming that those are included in the count. They are almost certainly phantom copies, created when people edited or deleted. If the "separate" button worked.... AFAIK, the only way to remove them from the list of editions would be to separate and re-combine the thousands of actual copies.
