collected editions

Gathered works together

Collected editions are compilations that gather previously published material into a single volume.

In comics, a collected edition binds several issues of a series together, often as a trade paperback: I'm waiting for the collected edition rather than buying single issues.

In literature, collected editions compile an author's works—poems, stories, or essays—sometimes with new editorial apparatus.
