Description

Scott's previous reconcile run, which added 95k readable books to OL (🎉), ran on IA items which already had an OL edition ID, but for which OL was missing the link back to IA. (The root cause of why this happened in the first place is ~subject of https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/7160 ).

_But_, there are more books which do not fall under this category! We can expand this to include books which are inlibrary in IA, but which do not have an OL id on IA! That's a pool of 225k potential books to import into OL! https://archive.org/search?query=collection%3Ainlibrary+AND+repub_state%3A%284+OR+19+OR+20+OR+22%29+AND+%21volume%3A*+AND+%21openlibrary_edition%3A*+AND+%21collection%3Abuddhist-digital-resource-center-restricted . This set might need whittling down to exclude certain patterns of things we don't want, but is a good starting point!
