NO, Not usually. For collections (more than 2 in a book), I have a Series called 'Various'. the other Series column gets My favorite/the biggest one
Also consider setting series to be Hierarchical. (note metadata downloads will not follow this plan. It is totally a manual edit, but many series names already are
a mess)
Pern.Harper Hall
Pern.Dragondrums
You can use the tag browser 1 click (1 + shows) on 'Pern' and see those with just Pern. Or 2 clicks (2+ show) and see All Pern an the children
Seperate Columns are for types of things (cars,Houses,People),
not variations on a thing (red, blue, green)
The reason we make a second column is the FIELD (typein box) can only hold one kind of entry and do what it does with index numbers. OTOH Tags allows a 'list'
