If a set comes with instructions that are across multiple books please allow
listing each book separately. Many retailers are indicating a specific book
in the description which breaks all of the handy search tools. It also makes
it difficult as a buyer to be sure I'm getting full sets.

You should always get the full set of instructions, unless otherwise noted.

And that last portion is the problem.
It is noted, but for sellers and buyers it's not the most handy option.
And it messes up the priceguide.
Certainly for sets that contain 6 (or more) booklets it would be most helpful.

The option could be very helpful in my opninion, I voted yes

Usually the price (and more importantly description) will dictate how many books
will be included or if it's the full set, but it's not obligatory to
list it in any way, so I think this is a great suggestion. You got my vote

I sell lots of instructions so I would definitely love to see this implemented.

I'm always worried my IC customers are not reading the descriptions. I don't
want anyone disappointed.
