Hi, Alexandria crashed a few times when adding a new book. The following information was saved:

Hi Cathal,

Done and here is the result. I only took the last part of
the output as I have been adding quite a few books. Hope
this helps. Attached is a longer output list.

Can you please run 'alexandria' from a terminal and report the
output from that when it crashes. (The crash report above doesn't
give me any hint as to where the error originates).
