Nope, I think kovidgoyal mis-stated or mis-typed his post above..
If I select entries in the book list view, its ALWAYS the first entry selected that becomes the merger target and its data is not overwritten, only empty fields get data from the 2nd clicked entry.
ie:
1) Click book number 5
2) Ctrl-Click book number 1
3) Press "M": Target book is book number 5
4) Click some other book
5) Click book number 1
6) Ctrl-Click book number 5
7) Press "M": Target book is book number 1
By the same method.
If I Click 1 then Ctrl-click 5 and 8 and 9, and press M, 5, 8 & 9 will be merged into book 1.
