In this situation I would normally have an entry for each edited book, 
then create a 'book section' reference to use as a template for
references to individual chapters within each edited book.  Each time I
then needed to cite a chapter, copy and paste the template, open then copy
and fill in the  author, title and page no.s.  The other book details will
already be filled in from the template.

EndNote will automatically append a, b, c etc to the multiple entries.
BUT it decides which will be which on the basis of the alphabetical
order with which they appear in the bibliography.  I wanted 'a' to be
the first ref. cited in the text, 'b' the next etc. but it can't do it.
I had to go back and add the letters to my library and re-format.  If you
do this then keep a copy of your Lib. for future reference - other
publications may not require all the same references and so the extra
letters will need to be stripped out again.
