Here's a few examples...

On the Edge (The Edge, Book 1)
The Devil You Know (Morgan Kingsley, Exorcist, Book 2)
Chaos Mode (The Mode Series Book Three)
Isle of Woman (Geodyssey)
Create Jewelry: Crystals (Create Jewelry series)


>From One Series (Piers Anthony's Xanth):
A Spell for Chameleon (Xanth, Book 1)
Castle Roogna (The Magic of Xanth, No. 3)
The Color of Her Panties (Xanth #15)
Ogre, Ogre (Xanth Novels)

Another Single series:
Green Rider (Green Rider Trilogy Book 1)
First Rider's Call (Green Rider, Book 2)
The High King's Tomb (Green Rider, Book 3)
The High King's Tomb: Book Three of Green Rider (Hardcover)

This one is Hard Cover vs. Paperback
Bearing An Hourglass (Incarnations of Immortality, Book 2)
Bearing an Hourglass (Book Two of Incarnations of Immortality)

This series is at least consistent (All paperbacks).
Casting Shadows (Babylon 5: The Passing of the Techno-Mages, Book 1)
Summoning Light (Babylon 5: The Passing of the Techno-Mages, Book 2)
Invoking Darkness (Babylon 5: The Passing of the Techno-Mages, Book 3)

Thanks for being such a helpful developer/maintainer.  Its REALLY
refreshing to see.

If I could come up with something like AutoIT for Linux, I'd LOVE to write
you an automated testing suite for regression testing the application (I
do automated software testing for a living).

Matt
