First-world problem:

Why can't book cover designers, or publishers, or even the authors, insist on a simple, obvious numbering on the cover so that readers can tell where a book fits in a series?

Or maybe have a ordered list on their website, and easy to find.

It's Soooo (first-world) annoying to read a book, then realise it's book 2 of 5, and then (IF the library has all the books, and they're all present on the shelf) try to work out what order they should be read in.

Hey, if the Rocky movies can do it, why can't book people? Is it because they work with words, and increasing integers intimidates them?
