To use my previous example: a book with the title The Greatest Jimmy Olsen Signal Watch Stories Ever Told gives everyone -- book buyers, Direct Market retailers, consumers who are familiar with comics and those who aren't, casual bokstore browsers, book reviewers, everyone! -- at a glance, at an instant, without even reading past the title, they get far more information than Jimmy Olsen, Volume 7 could ever give them.
How so? I'm sure the "sequential" quality appeals to some people (perhaps even most of the people here), but I don't think it's necessarily representative of the audience for these books as a whole. I don't see it as a factor that's driving sales -- just something that's taken for granted.
