short stories : character delimitor

[ℳatthieu]

Hi,

This concerns books with short stories mentioned in the title.

I saw different methods and nothing is mentioned in Librarian Manual (ok, I read stuff in "omnibus/boxed sets" section..), but this should be clarified for short stories.

Karen Blixen or Zweig are good example.

For example:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

What's good:

Anecdotes of Destiny & Ehrengard
Anecdotes of Destiny / Ehrengard
Anecdotes of Destiny ~ Ehrengard
Anecdotes of Destiny, Ehrengard
Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard

I'd vote for forward slash.

Another thing closely related to this are multi-volume titles that have their volumes in the title, and their series title and numbering as well.

Example of different ways this is currently done by different people:
- both volume titles, each with its own series numbering
La forteresse de Makiling (Largo Winch, #7); L'heure du tigre

- both volume titles, with additional content, and series title and numbering in title
Largo Winch, coffret de 2 volumes, tome 7 et tome 8 : La Forteresse de Makiling ; L'Heure du tigre

- only cover title, with series numbering in parentheses using GR series feature
The Hour of the Tiger

-and, finally, cover title + series title in book name, with English series numbering which differs from original French
Largo Winch Vol.4: The Hour of the Tiger

I've added covers.

> La forteresse de Makiling (Largo Winch, #7); L'heure du tigre (Largo Winch, #8)
Is this a box set? or a single book ?
To me "Largo Winch : 20 ans" should be mentionned in title.

I would prefer: (Largo Winch, #7-8)

According to Librarian manual (Largo Winch, #7-8) is optional, numbering is correctly specified in "series" setting.
