Thanks for a great script. Seems to work OK. I just need collections by author, so I removed all the "miscellany" and others auto-collections code. It's easy to remove it. I have many of those ASCII errors (have 100+ russian books), but the actual books seem to be fine, added into collections etc. Out of 500+ books I have two or three that seem to be stuck and not added to collections, and Lewis Carril's Alise gets added to its own collection every time, despite it's just one book (other lonely books do not get their collections as I intended). I will post if I can resolve this.
