* Most of the {{Dragaera}} novels have been reprinted in omnibus editions, with two or three novels to a book.

* The SectorGeneral books have been collected into four omnibus editions of three novels each. Confusingly, the novels themselves are mostly PatchworkStories pieced together out of shorter works.

* Comics in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse have been getting combined into books much larger than graphic novel. They're each called an "Omnibus", and contain two to three arcs, each composed of four comics. This started with the XWingSeries, which has a total of three omnibuses.

* The first seven ''DangerGirl'' comics were reprinted in a paperback book.

* ''{{Bone}}'' was initially published as individual issues, which were collected into nine trade paperbacks... which were then republished as the One Volume Edition. It's a 1300-page tome.
* ''ElfQuest'' was at one point collected into a single limited-edition volume containing the original 20-part series - a mere 652 pages. (Strictly speaking a compilation of compilations, collecting 4 volumes containing 5 parts each.)

* ''TheIlluminatusTrilogy'' was reprinted as an omnibus in 1984, and it remains available that way to this day.

* There's an Manga/AzumangaDaioh omnibus that compiles the entire series into a single volume. [[DoorStopper It's around 700 pages long]].
* Viz has compiled Manga/DragonBall Z and Manga/RurouniKenshin into "Viz Big" editions that contain three or four volumes each. Both OnePiece and Manga/FullmetalAlchemist have also received this treatment, but neither are under the Viz Big name.

* {{Negima}} is being re-released in Omnibuses in North America with a new translation job, in order to replace the first 21 volumes which had varying levels of dubious quality. Negima's predecessor LoveHina has been released by Kodansha Comics in the form of five Omnibus editions.
* GunslingerGirl has a number of omnibus collections. The first two are three volumes each, and every subsequent one is two each.
* Manga/AttackOnTitan received a [[DoorStopper 1000 page long]] "Colossal Edition" that compiles the first five volumes of the manga, courtesy of Kodansha Comics.

Similar to the omnibus release is the manga industry's ''tankobon'', which is a recopilatory volume that collects a couple months' worth of weekly releases of one single manga, in contrast to the weekly releases published on periodic anthologies such as ShounenJump.

* Many ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' novels series are reissued in omnibus form, each omnibus typically containing three novels. The GotrekAndFelix, ''GauntsGhosts'', Shira Calpurnia, and various Space Marine novels have received this treatment.

An {{Omnibus}} (Latin for "with all") is usually several novels/issues collected in a single volume. In most cases, each installment had been published in some form, either as a standalone work, or as a part of another collection. Omnibuses are often published as a way to earn more money, or to release out-of-print installments. Another occasion is for a milestone, like the anniversary of a work or for the release of the last installment in a series. The publishing industry sometimes refers to these as "bind-ups".
