The Lord of the Rings work has been fixed.
The weird editions were malformed relationships with the parts of the work (the relationship wrongly used was “Edition contains Work”).
I replaced them with the appropriate relationships: https://bookbrainz.org/work/4c2b172f-7b23-4bda-9ce5-04bce3f4a7d4
Now this LOTR work should eventually be replaced with a Series entity (once we’ve implemented those), but for no I think it will do.
