Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

All info we have about title syntax is this:
http://www.goodreads.com/help/librari...

Not too much. I suggest to create a standard for listing extra info in the title. There are many things that confuse me, like these:
- How to format a title of a non-english book?
I saw for example books formatted as:
"Book title in hungarian (Hungarian edition)"
Okay, Hungarian edition.... of what? Shouldn't the extra info look like (english title, Hungarian edition) instead?
- What to display in title info, and what not? In one hadn we could put all the content of the fields on the book profile page into the title producing 5-6 row titles, and in the other hand we could exclude everything... but where is the golden road here?

These are just two examples. I suggest to create a standard and add more information into the Librarian manual about it. Here in this topic we could discuss the ideas about the standard.

So, here is my suggestions:
"Book title in original (English title: somelanguage edition, Book 1)(From xxx series)(special edition, if it is)"

What would you add or change?

You might want to check out this thread. We're in the process of coming up with standards and updating the librarian manual and the edit a book page.

Series information has a certain standard format.

Title (series, #1)

We've talked about a new original title field, but I'm not sure if any decisions were made. We've also discussed pulling things like "special edition" out of the title.

I tend to use (original title) (English title) (series info)

Anything like World Classics or Library Binding or Large Print departs the title field pronto.
