In mine, too. However, suppose you are merging two books, and one has author Unknown, and the other John Smith. Do you want to overwrite Unknown with John's name or not?

[title] I think the SQL sets them to the default "Unknown" if left blank
Same question. (I'll check to see what is in the title when it's left blank, but regardless....) If you are merging two books and one has a title exactly matching "Unknown" and the other does not, do you want to overwrite?

Generally, I assume I don't want to change author/title in the first selected record during merge, but maybe these are special cases where I should consider "Unknown" to be a blank field.
