That wasn't me calling it a bundle and just listing the titles included. I have many others, all "bundles" by title.

The definition of omnibus fits what this is perfectly. The publishers have it all wrong. It's not a bundle and should not be called so. It's an omnibus and should be called so.

So why is it the publishers are being stupid yet again?
