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 give it a series name of "David Raker Omnibus [1]" and then use the Epub Split plugin to create individual books with the original titles and series name set to "David Raker [1]", "David Raker [2]" and "David Raker [3]"
The Epub Split plugin is easy to use, and creating individual books means that it's to see where gaps are in series. I have a custom column of "Shops" to list where I got a book from, and I just enter "calibre" in that column of the individual books from an omnibus.
