This has come up, before.  Personally, I'm a little skeptical that what 
people really want is to combine all of their books and sets (even those 
covering different topics) into a single document.  Is what you're after 
simply a means for someone to view/access your entire collection?  If so, 
why don't you make a separate document that indexes your works?  You could 
even use 'ulink's, so that (depending on your output format) someone could 
easily access the books, articles, and sets which the index references.
