I'm not clear on how your post varies from what Colin already said? If you are
attempting to add new information, you may want to rephrase it. If your intent
was to rehashColin's answer, I would suggest that you consider responding

You need to change the metadata in the track's info. Press Command-I on the
given track and change the track number and the track count.
for example, 1 of 20, 2 of 20, 3 of 20 and so on.
Usually, when I import an audio book, I change the info for all of the tracks I
import. This keeps the
