True 2.2% missing seems not bad .. but I bet if you scrolled through the 1547 set, you'll find books that don't belong, while books that should be there are not included, making that missing percent larger. Like, what about books under "R.L. Stevenson", they would not show up in the 1547 set, other examples like that. It's the problem of inconsistent author names that require customized searches that can be longer than search strings allow.

I guess eventually this can and will be addressed, probably through Open Library, unless editing of subject fields is allowed.
