We simply accept the package deal; if the accompanying material(s)
satisfy
our criteria to add to the collection, we do so.  If the non-primary
title(s) are just "stuff", we generally dump them.  Occasionally - just
occasionally - the accompanying "stuff" is worth forwarding to the
appropriate department.
