I'll see what I can do, but it won't be as clean to share you the full files like that.

This
issue and the solution for it has been addressed before. As you can see in the linked post, you can easily modify the selection (into a subset of the already selected books) based on whatever criteria you want. Conditions were intended as a quick way to determine whether a chain/action will run based on simple criteria that does not take much time to run, because chain conditions are executed every time the Action Chains menu is dynamically created. Any more additional criteria can be done as illustrated in the linked post.
The solution in the post even allows for saving the initial selection into a variable, so that you can restore them mid-chain if you want, and allow for more flexible control.
