Thanks for your reply - but possibly I am missing something! I have thousands of books in the library. 300 of them need better covers. Quality check 'pins' these - but they are displayed amongst the other thousands of books. I cannot seem to select only pinned books, and then press CTRL-D. I was wondering if there is a quick way of only selecting those 300 pinned books? Currently I have to scroll through the whole library and select each one individually - and find the 'pinned' ones amongst the thousands of other books - and then as you say CTRL-D. I cannot even seem to sort them by pinned or unpinned - that would make things easier. I completely acknowledge that this is my lack of understanding of the brilliant calibre - but how do I show only pinned books - so that I can easily select them?

Thanks for being patient!

PS - I have a similar problem with finding Duplicates - I can find them ok - but do I then have to individually select all the duplicates and delete them?
