Expert on the Arabian Nights?

I bought a version of the Arabian Nights at Barnes and Nobles, translated by Sir Richard F. Burton. I am just confused, because I know he translated the 1001 nights into 10 Volumes, but this copy I bought isn't one of the Volumes. All it says is that it was translated by Burton. I think that maybe it is just the more famous stories, but I don't know? Can someone explain this too me?
This is the link for the copy I bought:
