Yes, you have it exactly right.
I was vaguely thinking of some sort of "Next Book" function with a display (Highlighted? Appears in dialog popup window? Is listed first in a list with other match members?) of the "Book under consideration."
At some point I have to think about every book that's a possible match of every other book. It just seemed to me that doing them in some order was easier then trying to think about all possible cross matches within any given match set. Obviously, I am going to think about those cross matches, and if I do any merges (or we can think of some way to mark some cross matches I'm sure are not duplicates) then we can use that info to reduce the number of additional review steps by removing those books or known non-matches from the remaining books to be reviewed.
