The combined weight is greater than can be posted as a letter, but
the individual books are light enough.

I don't think adding catalog notes to instruction entries like this is a
good idea and could descend into hundreds of notes on instructions that have
multiple books.

So I have not acted on this but if anyone wants to try and convince us otherwise...
