{title}{#subseries:| (|, }{#subseries_index:|Book |)}{series:| (|, }{series_index:|Book |)}


@Fbone avoid overloading title with things that are really separate variables like series. Its not necessary with calibre because it has suitable built in columns for most things and if it doesn't have something you want you can easily create your own columns.

Many subtitles and straplines don't need to be included in titles. Example: the LoC Title of one of my books is "The Bankers’ New Clothes : What’s wrong with banking and what to do about it" but I have "The Bankers’ New Clothes" in Title, the "What’s wrong with banking and what to do about it" is in a custom column called Subtitle. It just makes things 'neater', subtitles & straplines are often no more than attention seeking rhetorical flourishes.
