So...
you select the books with Author:Unknown that you Know are the same .
author
Tap 'E' and set the Author (and tick Automatically set Author Sort )
Presto, all fixed
Warnings are there because anything that you do, applies to SELECTED books
 do not use highlight found records in (blue bars w/no red slash)search mode, the records can be anywhere (outa sight). Been there, my foot still hurts  |
Thanks for the warning - I'll be more careful. In the import preview I was comparing to the FF page and removing extras before creating empty book list, then back in Calibre ctrl-A then mass-replace. I figured as long as I repaired Author immediately after import there shouldn't be any confusion, and I need it fixed anyway to run the Overdrive search on the new list. (That has weeded out a few where libraries carry the book under what FF considers an "aka" title so I can fix and re-search. Of course if it finds all but 1 or 2 of a series there's a good chance it's the title. If many are missing I don't bother to check for aka's, I just assume none of my libraries have them...)
