I'm looking at approximately 40 - 50 new libraries and having to space all of the columns and create my custom one again each time is daunting, to say the least!! Is there any way that I can just copy the column format from the main Calibre Library to each of the others as I create them?

Hoping someone here can help me!
Whoa - why do you want to do that?

If you separate books into separate physical libraries based on Author you'll lose the ability to search all books that have… "moon" in the Series name, or "Cowboys" in Tags etc.
