You found one of the edge cases where you DO need to keep the Volume title(range) in the Title to differentiate books

I would also use
Series: Brittanica-2010
and
Series index: vol#

The Series info properly orders the 'book-set'.
What is important is getting a query that has all the volumes, regardles of the Name on the volume

Same with any subscription: Journalname-year and Vol# as the series

Actually it may work out better this way

Analog Magazine Feb 1999
Analog Magazine Jun-Jul 1999
Analog Magazine Mar 1999

Does not sort well but assigning a Analog-1999 series and setting the index to the volume # does
