Or is it? I have now 2 identical copies of the same book in the DB, and each is to be maintained separately to keep them in sync. Not handy. Also space-wise.
So I started thinking about a better solution with just one physical book entry: for instance adding a second "series" column to the book (would that work?) or do something with links (to a dummy book entry for the other series?)
So my question: has somebody tried this already and found good/better solution? What is advisable?

There is a very simple solution. Figure out where you plan on reading this book. Then in series, put in that series and #. So you'll have it where you'll be reading it.
So if the book fits in series A as #4 and Series B as #3 and you plan in reading it as part of series B, put it under series B [3].
