I think you have summed it up well Chris.

I agree on the redundant code, I have just spent the last couple of hours looking at Rapidweaver, they use a 'Leggo Bricks' type of building block system which might be alright for some, I can't see it being anything like suitable for what I need, so I will end up using a bit of one brick and a bit of another just for one minor aspect, where one line of code would probably have done the job quicker and easier.

I have counted up the book fields, depending on how you define a field, there are no more than ten unique fields, three of which appear in both lists.

The search criteria could be predetermined by a menu heirarchy (alphabetical), era (date) and nationality etc. Perhaps also regions of activity and interests?
