@Susana Ellis Aut - if you have a keyboard press 't' - and/or use Preferences->Toolbars to add Edit Book to menus & toolbars

FYI ==>> Keyboard Shortcuts

Preferences: that's not an option under Interface.

T doesn't do anything

Are there 2 versions? I feel like I must have the wrong one!

@Susana Ellis Aut - Sorry about the 't' I'm sure it used to be there. In fact it is there, in Windows, at least. Maybe on Mac you have to press shift/t (ie 'T') Ψ² Check Preferences keyboard.

AFAIK there is only one calibre. Different 'installs' for different OSs, but they're built from a common code base.

To add Edit Book button/icon to main toolbar follow the arrows

What version of calibre are you running ?

AFAIK the ones in the manual apply to all platforms - so the link I gave you is it.

Don't know what's happened to 'T' in the manual. Maybe later versions have removed it and mine is legacy from an older version. Bit weird tho, I just looked at a vanilla install of portable V2.22 - and the T shortcut is there - works too

IIRC some Apple keyboards don't have a control key, they have a command key that does same/similar things.
