Ginny, I appreciate the distinction you make between series books and linked sequence books. It makes good sense to me.
Another type of book that I've been thinking about in relation to series or formula books are pattern books. I don't think of them as series books because they usually don't have the same character from one book to another. But they are written by a very strict formula.
