i just added these 5 books:
https://www.librarything.com/work/29686053/edit/233824874
https://www.librarything.com/work/29686053/book/233825256
https://www.librarything.com/work/29686053/book/233826074

https://www.librarything.com/work/29686053/book/233826386

i manage to create a new series for these books.
https://www.librarything.com/nseries/351296/Normandie-France-Afloat-From-Constru...
but i couldnt figure out how i can put these books into the series.
I shows only one cover for all the five books and what i also dont understand is the thing with the editions.
No matter which of those 5 books i click on, it shows me that my other created books are all other editions of this one.

Can anyone help me?

Done, you can add now volumes 2-4 to the series (either from work page or from series page)

Welcome. You can do it yourself too if you wish in the future. Just go to editions page and click separate on those that do not belong to the same work. Also, you can seek assistance for either separating or combining works in combiners group https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/460/Combiners%21 Auto-combiner is decent, but there are still often cases that need to be done manually

If titles are the same for over 20 characters, the autocombiner will usually combine them. It also ignores everything after a colon.
