Colon Conundrum

[Shannon]

Came across this book, My Little Pony: The Elements of Harmony: Friendship is Magic: The Official Guidebook and was wondering if the order and the amount of colons were correct. Do we ever use hyphens? I didn't see anything for or against hyphens in the manual so I wasn't sure.

After looking at the cover, I would suggest:

The Elements of Harmony (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) - The Official Guidebook. LOL

Parentheses won't parse properly here as part of the actual title. And I don't see any reason to make some of the colons hyphens, for either esthetic or grammatical reasons.

But "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is essentially series info, so I moved it to the end, in parentheses.
