I agree with Roger.

I vote for option B. I prefer the series title in parentheses, but
whether parentheses are used or not some kind of punctuation really
has to be there so we can tell when the title ends and the series
title begins. Whether the number sign is there or not does not matter
to me.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to learn which sort of format you all most like to see series
info written in. As I input data for all the pq books, I'm filling in a lot
of series titles and book numbers.   I usually do it a certain way, but I
thought I would ask what everyone prefers.

I have a couple of questions for you all, and you may write me on or off
list with your answers.  allisonh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Keep in mind that I'm not looking to set up any sort of Bookshare
requirement for writing series titles.  This is just for my own personal
knowledge as I work on the pq books. If someone already has a way they like
to do it, he or she can definitely still do so.

QUESTIONS:
1. Which of the below do you like best?
a. Title (Series Name, then the word series, #1).
b. Title (Series name Book #1).

2. Do you prefer some punctuation after the book title in order to separate
it from the series info?

3. Do you like when the number sign (#) is inserted before the book number?

I imagine that I'll likely get a lot of differing opinions, but I'll try to
go with what's most popular.  Remember, this is just for the books whose
titles I happen to edit, not something that will apply to all titles.

I look forward to your input.

Best,
Allison
