Re: Horrible record

I create/derive many records for e-book versions of paper books, and for the reason below I use the flag a lot
whenever I see more than one record for the same edition of a paper book. If, after examining both records, I
can't figure out why there should be two records, I flag it.

the amount of OCLC spam" she gets when doing a search in Worldcat
