Location: UK		An omnibus is a collection of books, where an anthology is a collection of short(er) stories. That's how I'd define it. If a trilogy is printed under one cover I'd consider that an omnibus. LotR would be a bit of an edge case, since it was meant to be one book in the first place, but I think I'd still consider the single-volume edition as an omnibus of three books, just because I feel like that's the canonical edition.
