Hello, dear librarians! Thank you all for your hard work! I hope this is the right place to submit this request, and I apologize if it should go somewhere else.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get some help cleaning up entries for books in the series Life-study of the Bible by Witness Lee? There are inconsistencies in many of the titles (capitalization, punctuation), the series listings, and even in which books are included in the series. Several books have more than one listing that could hopefully be combined.
Maybe this is helpful to know: The books were originally published in green hardbound volumes. Later, the publisher released the titles in blue paperback format. The paperbacks have the same content as the hardbound, but they are divided into smaller volumes (easier to carry around, easier to read through, etc.) So, for example, Life-study of First Corinthians comes in one hardbound volume and three paperback volumes. Recently, the titles have also been released in digital (Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play) formats, too; the ebooks are not divided into volumes.
Is it possible to correct the capitalization and hyphenation in the titles of these books to make them consistent with others in the series (lowercase of, add hyphens or ampersands, etc)?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (the listed series is wrong)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
There are a couple books with more than one listing:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... is the same as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (most books in the series use an ampersand in title)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is the same as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (one is listed as part of the series; one is not)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (one looks more legit than the other)
And there are a few random inconsistences:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is listed as #22 in the series, but that's incorrect. Instead, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... should be #22 in the series.
This is a weird outlier—should it maybe be deleted?:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
This, too?: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thank you so much!
