Can a Book and a Comic Book Have the Same Title?

[Andrew d’Entremont]

There is a comic book adaptation of The Eye of the World already in ComicBase, and I'm trying to enter my HC novel of the same name into inventory. Do I need to change the name of the title in order for it to be accepted? Does CB not differentiate between the "Books" and "Comic Books" categories?

I'm not totally positive, but I believe that you can't have two of the same title in CB even if they are in separate categories.  

Best route for your book would be to include the publisher in your title.  So I believe that your hardcover would go under the title Eye of the World, The (Tor) or something along those lines.

The main problem is if they have the same Title AND the same Publisher. Then they would share the same Picture folder.

The ensure this doesn't happen, I have been adding the publisher to the Title for Book Types. (i.e 'Eye of the World (Tor)'.

Thanks. I suspected this was the case, but it's good to have confirmation. It's too bad the categories aren't enough to differentiate between titles. I have to admit it bugs me a when I have to modify a title like this. I know it shouldn't, but I get a little OCD when it comes to managing my collection.
