I agree - an author name exemption list would be the way to go. In theory, you could structure it as book pairs (All books by AuthorA vs. all books by AuthorB) but if you add a new book, you'd have to consider the authors again, and it would still need to be a separate list from the book exception list.
Thinking out loud here - Suppose I tell you that AuthorA and AuthorB are not the same, even though the algorithm sees them as similar. Can I then say anything about whether BookA by AuthorA and BookB by AuthorB are the same? I suppose not. Father and son write a book, but I've got format 1 under Father's name and Format 2 under the son's name.
