Can anyone advise how to do this? |
@aprcrcom:
Yes. See the section entitled "Book Awards Table" here:

Due to slight variations in spelling and/or punctuation of Author and/or Title, you need a tool that can do a fuzzy search based on similarity percentage. The above link is to a tool that does that, and its Original Post explains in depth how to use it. The explanation references using Tags for Book Awards, but you could use a dedicated Custom Column instead if you wished. Remember that a single book can have many Book Awards, so your Custom Column must be "Tag-Like" to enable multiple values for the same book.
If I recall correctly, the Book Awards Table in the link currently has about 4,200 Book Award combinations. I last updated it in February 2016 for all awards ever granted as of that date.
