Evan,
Usually in the past, we have recommended that you include series information
in parenthesis immediately following the title. E.g.,
Cats love tormenting dogs (Volume 1 of Dogs Bite the Dust series) Etc.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] How to Format Titles in A Series
I was wondering if there is a prefered method for formatting a title that is
part of a series. For example, I want to submit Crown of Stars, Volume 7 of
the Crown of Stars series, and soon I expect to submit volumes in The History
of Middle-earth series, such as Book of Lost Tales; The History of Middle-earth
Volume One. I was looking at some of the series on Jake's site, but I don't
see any indication that the books in the few I looked at are in a series, if
you were to just come upon them in Bookshare. Should I just leave this
information out? and just put in the title? In the Crown of Stars, it does
actually say Volume 7 of Crown of Stars on the title page, but in the History
of Middle-earth books, it does not actually say The History of Middle-earth
Volume whatever on the title page. that information is on its own separate
page. However, Amazon does break out the series, and it is written this way.
I want people to know that these books are part of a series, but I do not want
to enter this title incorrectly. I noticed that in the books by David Eddings,
such as The Diamond Throne (The Elenium, Book 1), the series information is
included, but I do not know if it is written this way in the book or if this is
the way series information is supposed to be entered if it is not actually part
of the title. If there is a tip on Jake's site on this - admittedly rather
trivial matter - I did not see it.
Just a bit of advice would be welcome.
Thanks.
