See message 538 above.
The title is the name of the book. The subtitle follows the title after a colon. A series title appears in parenthesis after the title and/or subtitle sometimes with a number to indicate the book's position in the series order. The default rule is that both the title and subtitle can be used, but NOT the series title.
