the answer is E

C and D have error of misplacement of only

It should be only the second one published

A and B

contain IC joined to a IC by a and.

It should have a comma before and.

2 IC's can be joined only by ,and,or a semicolon,or by making of the IC's dependent clause,or by using period.

I would go with E too.

A and B are out for "it"

and only is referencing to second => only the second book published

Also note that had the underlining started after "1770s" we would have had to wonder what was being renamed -- the decade, or the collection. Since the underlining takes place after we have already renamed "a collection" with "the first book", a second restatement is clearly acceptable.
