Surely the other book in the subset - ISBN 9780751550832 - needs it's title changing too?It also needs adding that it was originally published as The Eagle's Brood in 1994, and the page count is 486 pages not 496.
Can someone clarify the rules for me on series names and sub-series names?
For example, another book in the overall series, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..., is listed with it's sub-set title rather than the overall series name...
Which one takes precedence, the sub-set name or the overall series? Dependent on what's on the front cover or which is the bigger series or...?
Books are usually titled as they are on the cover, so therefore the series information (usually included in brackets) would be also as written on the cover.I have also combined this edition with the Uther books, so it has taken up that it was originally called "Uther" and done the equivalent for the second request.
The subseries doesn't yet exist, so I have created that, too, and added both books.
With regards to how books are added to the series, both series should be listed. I have never been sure about which takes the top spot (as it's hard to change it once they're on there), but as long as all series they're part of are linked to the book, it's fine.
By the way, with regards to the page count, how are you counting the pages? The reason I ask this is that I can't confirm your changes via Worldcat (it doesn't list the pagecount) and 10 pages is a big difference. The way we count pages is listed here:

This book has the wrong title in Goodreads: http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Guilt-Trip...It should read "Skip the Guilt Trip: A Handy Guide for Saying No, Protecting Yourself, and Enforcing Healthy Boundaries (No Matter How Much You Like to Please)"
If I should post this elsewhere, sorry, let me know!
#4: The edition that is already in the database, here is actually listed as it should be, as in the title is displayed as it is shown on the cover. However, when covers and/or titles change, then we add an alternate-cover edition (ACE).I have done that and it can be found here:

Yes, in future please start a new topic, as this one is already linked to another book which can make things confusing.

Brilliant. Thanks for your help Susie. I'll be honest I was a little baffled. At first I thought someone had just called it the wrong thign but then I thought about it and realised there were two equally legit series names and had no idea which one took precedence.
My page counts are taken from the physical copies of the books. In some books the last numbered page is then followed by say four or five pages of un-numbered pages to sell the authors other books and things but in these Jack Whyte books, the very last page in the book is numbered; Merlyn's very last page is number 486 and Pendragon's is 714.
The weird thing is, I just looked it up and Amazon has it down as 496 pages even though the book I'm rest my arm on to type this says 486.
I can take slightly blurry mobile/cell photos to prove it if you wish? :)
No, that's perfectly fine. Amazon usually adds all the extra advertising info, which we don't include in the pagecount. I just always like to check for clarity when I am unable to confirm the pagecount elsewhere! :)

2)It needs adding that this was originally published in 2000 as Uther
3)The page count is wrong. It is 714 pages not 720.
4) You could add the blurb from the back cover:
A matchless warrior.
A true friend lost.
A love like none before.
The son of a Celtic King and a Romano-British aristocrat, Uther Pendragon learns early on to respect honour, nobility and integrity, but he also learns to love to fight, and to kill when necessary. His closest boyhood friend is his cousin Merlyn Britannicus, and together they will set Britain on a new path.
But Camelot attracts the envy and dislike of others, among them Gulrhys Lot, King of Cornwall, and Lot's hunger for power and conquest will come to define Uther's life as his friendship with his cousin Merlyn disintegrates.
While war ravages the land, Uther seems invincible, but he is powerless against the love that will undo him; a love that will seal his place in legend as he becomes father to Arthur, High King of Britain.
