Cindy,
Initially I was tempted to say that was strange, except I remember you are using a Mac, so different bugs might appear for you. The only time I can get this one to consistently rear its head, is with the settings as I mentioned with the 1 month view, and only on the first page of the returns. Once you move to another page of the returns, it seems to clear up, but unfortunately, all the new books would be on page 1. When you are on page 1, the reported number of new books is skewed, being on the high side, and if you hit go to last page, it will take you to a page saying that no new books have been added to the collection. Once you move off the 1st page, the number of new books is corrected, and things are fine from there on, but there is an overlap between book titles on page 1 and 2, and of course, no new books.
