I wanted them added until I could edit the metadata and list the multiple authors on one copy, then delete the other.

It seems more useful to me to identify duplicates based on title and/or author, then ask. Most of my duplicates weren't 100% CRC duplicates anyway.
Believe me: if CRC32 + FILESIZE are the same in 2 books these 2 books are identical ! This is the tecnique used by all software which scan for duplicates in the hard drive.

There is only a 0,00000001% of chance they are different. So 100% is 99,99999999
