This is what I've done:
  • I've looked at the help manual.
  • I've followed and tested the various options also under Edit Metadata\Merge|\....
  • I made sure I used files of the same format (ie, .epub).

Still, I cannot get books to combine into one.

Help, please. I'm on the latest version of Calibre 1.27. I thought I recalled a recent update that made this possible or even simpler; however, looking through the recent updates, I could not find it.

Help is VERY much appreciated.
Merge ('M' shortcut) within Calibre is about combining Metadata (line items in the spread sheet) along with its formats

Epub Merge (the PI) is about combining Books (makes a bigger book)
