ok. i already searched, and haven't found a clear answer.</disclaimer>
my problem: i have 2 separate libraries. each has about 8k books.
the kicker: there are about 3k dupes between the 2, and about 150 dupes in one itself.
my goal: create an empty library, like a brand new install, without deleting my existing libraries.
then, i plan on importing them again, to weed out the dupes efficiently.
the kicker: i can't figure out how to get an empty library without copying the existing files.
i am not looking to restructure the library. i don't want to tweak anything - mad props to Kovid and all his work. I just am having difficulties applying it to my (possibly) unique situation.
