I use the parentheses myself, figuring a search for the series title will
reveal any books in a series whether the series name is in parentheses or
followed by a :. I figure the title of te book is not, to use your example,
Left Behind #12, but rather the title of the book is Glorious Appearing, and
it happens to be Left Behind #12. Happens-to-be equates with parentheses in
my book, so there's me rationale FWIW.
