Open Library FRBR work

From Progress on finding works, e-mail sent by Edward Betts to the ol-discuss list:

http://edwardbetts.com/ol/Arthur_Conan_Doyle.html lists 393 titles
found for books by Arthur Conan Doyle, sorted by the number of library
records for each title. The top of the list pretty clearly shows works
by the author. Some of the errors at the bottom of the list are caused
by titles entered in a foreign language, I think I might be able to
match some of these automatically. The table can be resorted by title.
