BK brought this up at the books meeting today. I had thought the scanned books were showing up more recently than April but now I'm not absolutely sure. Anyway, archive.org search shows exactly one Douglas Lurton book:

finds

A similar openlibrary search for "douglas lurton" finds (among others) this book as
http://
going to the history page for that book and viewing the MARC record shows that it's not the same record as the one in the IA search engine. Examination of the most recent OL Json dump shows that this is the only OL record for the book. Looking at the update log after the json dump doesn't show any new records for the book, but there is some chance that the log is incomplete, so I'm hoping to get a new json dump soon. The current update log still has some malformed records discussed in another bug.
My guess is that we have gotten MARC records for this book from two or more different sources, and deduplication has thrown out all but one of them, which is not the IA one. Any thoughts?
