If you enter a value into an authors Link field, then the modified date for all of the authors books are updated.

I maintain a separate 'last_change' custom column - I update it when I do something to a book that I regard as significant.

You manually update the 'last_change' column?

I was just wondering if I had something set weird. I'd kind of noticed it before but hadn't realized that adding a column changed the date.

Thanks all for the responses!
