[...] I just wondered if you could tell me why this is happening as previously if books were not connected they were posted individually
The reason is that the Posting guidelines say so, and the reason for the guidelines to say so —since 2011, if I remember correctly— is that the section changed and grew and we were no longer dealing with less than one page of new releases (±40) but with more than one hundred releases. By 2012 we were already gathering all standalone books by the same author in one post and adding new books to the existing release. We had the massive support of our users, who were becoming increasingly frustrated with all the post-hopping in cases with too many posts by the same OP offering books in the same series or by the same author. Imagine someone posting 50 separate releases with standalones instead of one titled "50 books by".
Please keep in mind that: 1) Our site requires that all new releases must be approved by a moderator before properly categorised, and at the moment the team of moderators have to check and approve 500/600 new releases every day. 2) Uploaders and downloaders see things quite differently and we can't please everybody
