Heiko (vcdwelt) | 31 comments Hi,
i am working right now on updating a big series with missing details, pictures and consistent titels :-)

What is the better naming pattern?
Offenbarung 23 - Tupacs Geheimnis (Offenbarung 23, #2)
or
Offenbarung 23 - Folge 2 - Tupacs Geheimnis (Offenbarung 23, #2)
or
Offenbarung 23 - Folge 2: Tupacs Geheimnis (Offenbarung 23, #2)

Where
Offenbarung 23 = Titel of series
Folge 2 = Chapter number
Tupacs Geheimnis = Titel of this chapter

Are there any Rules for such situations? My favorite is the first example.

Another Question: What should i prefer ISBN or ASIN?

Z-squared | 8575 comments The Goodreads rules for naming series would make this

Tupacs Geheimnis (Offenbarung 23, #2)

For kindle and audible audio editions, we use ASINs. For everything else, we use ISBNs. Both are welcome on the site, but we make separate editions for each format with its ISBN or ASIN attached.
