#1:
Romanized book title: Desire Kōshiki Digital Genga-shū
JP book title spelling: DESIRE公式デジタル原画集
#2:
Romanized book title: PC-FX Best Character Kōshiki Digital Genga-shū Vol. 2
JP spelling: PC-FXベストキャラクターズ公式デジタル原画集 Vol. 2
Protip: Looking for the book's JAN barcode - not ISBN - will often bring up Japanese stores where the title will be easy to read. I used Google translate to romanize the titles. In this case, it's accurate enough for our purpose.

Thanks, but I think Redump / No-Intro use a different style of romanization than what you've posed (ō / ū etc)

User7 is correct, Should be submitted as
Desire Koushiki Digital Genga-shuu
and
PC-FX Best Character Koushiki Digital Genga-shuu Vol.2
even then the Moderator who adds the dumps will correct them to follow the proper naming convention.
*** EDIT ****
Didnt see the original poster. so like yeah man, go with ^those and they will get fixed, just be like me and say it's a load of Squiggles
(whatever I put is invariably wrong haha)

I agree with the colons, but not the space.
the covers don't show a space in the Vol.2 naming.
But let's be honest here... I am wrong 80% of the time.

The convention most used on redump for volume titles, is a space between the "." and the number, so you'll find most entries will say "Vol. 2" instead of "Vol.2" even if there is no space on the disc. This is a sort of normalization/standardization that is done with the romanization here.
I am working on a rough guide for some of these conventions, but it currently is a WIP. When I have something remotely organized, I'll share for further review and discussion to help address things like this so everyone can be on the same page.
