The problem occurs when the title is "Series Name: Book Title". For a lot of these it works because more than one book in the series is found. But for a one word series name like "Relics", to many other books will match.

I'm a bit mixed in my feelings about titles like this. Mostly, I strip the series from the book title. But, there are a few, like this one, where this style feels right. In these cases, I fiddle with the title before the metadata download so it works and again afterwards so that it looks right.
