This should work well, but makes accessing the original somewhat cumbersome.

Another approach is to use slightly differnt titles for the two versions by:
  1. Use Save to Disk to export a copy of the file to be altered
  2. Rename the book in calibre by appending some suffix (e.g. MyBook > MyBook-foo)
  3. Make changes to exported version (crop, ...)
  4. Import altered version into calibre; it should appear with the original title
  5. Retitle the newly imported book (e.g. MyBook > MyBookCropped)
  6. Retitle the original back to its original.
