[aisle] Storage Books in Destiny?

[Smolka, Matt]

You could create a sublocation called multiple copies, add all the extras
to the multiple copy sublocation and put them in storage.  You could also
mark the books with a sticker on the spine to denote they are multiple
copies so that when they come back you know they don't go on the shelves.
