If there are 19.371 books "OUR Brockhaus selection" and my assumption 
(dupes + little information) is right, why not deleting them, instead of 
waiting/hoping that they will be merged one time? With the help of ISBN 
it's easy to make a test:

http://openlibrary.org/search?q=%093518182161
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=2830910419
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=3205770064
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=3518182110
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=3525551975
http://openlibrary.org/search?q=3791327887
etc.

The deletion would improve the quality of the German entries significantly.

Cheers,
Patrick
