According to my profile, I have 8157 items in LT with top-level medium "book," of which 8152 are also second-level medium "paper book." As far as I know, I've never entered an audiobook or ebook into LT, so those numbers should be equal, and the obsessive part of me (which, by sheer coincidence, is 8152/8157ths of me) would like to find those five items that are listed as "books" but not "paper books" so that I can edit them. Is there any straightforward way to do this? (maybe a Boolean AND NOT search in the search bar? but I can't currently access the Wiki to look to see if the numerical media codes are listed there somewhere.)
If not, I'll find a way to live with it. :-) Thanks in advance.

You can add the media field as a column to your catalog and then click on it to sort the "book" entries to the top

>2 norabelle414: Yes, that's probably the easiest way to do it. Exporting as TSV, importing in Excel and looking for the five books there is another.
