@taratears - nothing that I know of.
You could tag the books '!locked', and do a search for
not tags:"=!locked" before you bulk metadata edit. Also you could create
Locked and
Not Locked virtual libraries.
Why
!locked - I use - ! (bang), # (crunch), ^ (hat) and ~ (squiggle) - to indicate 'this is special' when naming things, like tags, files etc. Makes them sort into groups (when they're sorted
)
