Description
This is a very common issue. Many series titles are erroneously shown parenthetically suffixed onto both work and edition titles. In the simplest case the work title repeats the series title with additional specifics added. It should be pretty straightforward to bulk fix these most-trivial cases.
One example:
"Nevada Crime in Perspective 2003 (Nevada Crime in Perspective)"
