As things stand, the Series column in Calibre says "David Raker [1]", and doesn't reflect the fact that the book also includes books 2 and 3 in the series. If I have the fourth in the series, I can either
(a) label it incorrectly as book 2; or
(b) label it as book 4, in which case it appears that books 2 and 3 are missing.
Is there any way of getting the Series label to say "David Raker [1 - 3]" (or something along those lines? If so, how is it done?
How do others handle this little conundrum? |
What I would do is label it with the number of the first book. Yes, it will look like you have missing books, but in the title, you can put in the word Omnibus so you know it's not a standalone and you aren't missing any books. Another option is in the description, you can put in that the first book is an Omnibus and contains books 1-3.
