Book series
From Freepedia
A book series is a group of novels that may share a common setting, story arc, set of characters or timeline. They may be of any genre, but are most common in the fields of mystery, science fiction and romance novels.
Scholarly and scientific books are also commonly published in series. The connection among books belonging to such a series can be by discipline, focus, approach, type of work, or geographic location. Examples of such series include Antwerp working papers in linguistics; Early English manuscripts in facsimile; Garland reference library; Canterbury Tales Project; Early English Text Society.
