Thanks for raising this. Unlike other worlds, the linking of books is done automatically. This is because some books are published in thousands of editions, and it's not possible for the linking to be done manually.

For this reason book title should be entered as it is commonly known, and not "exactly as on the book cover". e.g. choose one of "Saint Errant" or "The Saint Errant".

For translated books, the English title is used to link all books together, it is chosen as a common language.

The Harry Potter book is an exception which doesn't fit in with how things work. It could have the alternative title entered as the "English Title".

Cinema World has the option for many alternative titles, but that would be too much complexity for the automated linking system that is used on Book World.
