that is, ordered under the letter "S", as if the name of the series was an author's name. Let me not worry about citing it in the main text for now, because I can always fix that with a \nocite.Statistik des Deutschen Reiches, Berlin: Kaiserliches Statistisches Amt, various years
I should add that I work with natbib, and the aer bibliography style.
Now, if I work with this combination, and choosing the entry type "book", the entry "Statistik des deutschen Reiches" in the references looks fine, exactly as I described it above, but everything that will appear after that entry will appear italicized.
I.e., all books and articles whose authors begin with "T", "U" and so on, appear all in italics in the references, instead of having just the book title in italics. Additionally, the words "Statistik des deutschen Reiches" appear one time too much, just before the actual entry "Statistik des deutschen Reiches". To give you a visual representation of what happens:
Do you have any suggestion on how to cite such a series of books by its name, and without an author? And without creating such a mess on all other references in the bibliography?Ritter, Karl, Ritter’s geographisch-statistisches Lexikon, 4th ed., Leipzig: Wigand, 1855.

Should I change the entry type? I think I tried all of them, and none delivered better results. Should I change the bibliography style? I would be very reluctant to abandon aer.
