message: I have started a separate article for them, Monographs in series, the usual library name., and made a ref. from the good short description here. DGG 00:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: A merge was suggested. The topics are separate--the book series discussed in that articles are volumes one following another on the same subject. Monographs in series are volumes published under a single overall title, but on a variety of separate subject. Book series are found in all sort of popular and academic and technical fields--a great many of them are novels. M in S are essentially always an academic mode of production, that verges onto being a series of separate  but large single-topic  journal issues. M in S, in particular, are usually handled by Web of Science and Scopus and Chem abstracts etc etc  as if they were journalsDGG (talk) 03:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that a merger is not called for here, and that monograph series (in the non-fiction/scholarly sense) are easily significant enough and quite distinct from general book series. Monograph series are most usually catalogued as such by various library systems, for eg. Am removing the merge tag. --cjllw ʘ TALK 04:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal [[monographs in series]] to [[book series]]

message: I have seen some books referred to as a part of a "cycle". Is that a synonym for a series or is there a difference? For example: :File:DarkForce_Rising.jpg --Mika1h (talk) 23:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably a synonym. Might imply a sequence. Book cycle does not exist yet and novel cycle redirects to novel sequence which I proposed for merging here below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

message: I don't believe those two concepts are independenty notable, and significantly different to warrant separate articles. At best, one could argue that a sequence is, well, sequential and a series doesn't have to be. But it is doubtful this difference is significant enough to warrant separate articles. That said, I do think it's ok to have separate categories as we have now - here's the analysis of the related category tree: the one and only category for novel sequence was  :Category:Novel series, which states that the main article for its category is here (book series - further proof this is the same concept, really, as far as articles go). I just corrected that to display category :Category:Novel sequences instead. Novel series is a redirect to here. Book sequence article does not exist even as a redirect. Note that it is fine to have separate category for :Category:Series of books (not all books are novels), :Category:Novel series and :Category:Novel sequences, since categories can help to distinguish between series and sequences. But we don't need two articles about series vs sequences. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:48, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
