I know there is a way to see if you have entered any duplicate books into you book list. However, I cannot find this field.

Please advise.

Under Charts & Graphs, Work Duplicates, the last item on the left.

But notice some of these aren't actually duplicates but cases where vol 1 and vol 2 etc. were wrongly autocombined. (This happens when the title gets too long.) These can and should be separated.

Also, if an entry has not been combined into the main work, it will not be listed on this page. Besides things not combined, this page will also not show you works where you own one work which is also included in another work.

So this is a useful tool, but you may have duplicates that don't show here, and some of these aren't really duplicates.
