Half-number? I have resorted to fourths and in one case(that I regret doing), I used the integer for the "Cycle" and up to .99 for the books within
Then ther is the "Omnibus" issue: Where books 1,2 and 3 are re-issued in a single volume . Where do thes fir (Especially when you have a mix to fill out the series)?

There is no "clean" answer.
