what does the word "bundles" mean?
Hi, I couldn't understand this sentence, could somebody help me ? "Planet Drum has published a half-dozen books and pamphlets as well as bundles from the Rockies, the Northwest, the Hudson Valley, and elsewhere. " Does it mean that Planet Drum has published a half-dozen books and pamphlets, and about six "bundles" have also been published from the Rockies, the Northwest, the Hudson Valley, and elsewhere? OR does it mean Planet Drum has published a half-dozen books, pamphlets and bundles?

Hi GPY, Thank you so much! I get it now. Just for the confirmation, does this sentence mean that Planet Drum has published a half-dozen books and pamphlets, and bundles from the Rockies, the Northwest, the Hudson Valley, and elsewhere? And the bundles are not included in the quantity of "a half-dozen", am I right?
