Feature Use Case

Some times we have a template and later we use in our books, so all the books of the installation follow the same style, such situation change nothing but some times we clone a full book and we just use in our installation.

if we clone a book, we have duplicate content, so in order allow to receive to the original book the apropiate gredit on google (to be the first or only in the google search) is good to have a link to the original content from the child books

Cloned books automatically receive a statement on the book info page indicating where the book has been cloned from. There's no way to remove this statement from the GUI itself, but it can be done by editing the database directly. We're also interested in better tools for textual citation: #223. Closing this issue as it's been partially fixed and other parts are now duplicated by other tickets.
