I restored my library to Feb 6, from a backup I had done. I wanted to add the books I had gotten since Feb 6. Well, I used the copy to library rather than the add books. So it just added the dublicates. Now, I can just restore another library, and do it right, but is there a way to highlight and eliminate duplicates other than one by one? I should have a library of 6000 books, but I have a library of 12000.

EDIT: I searched Calibre and Find Duplicates was suggested to someone just a few months ago. I installed that and will see how it works! Thanks
