Comments from Submitter:
I think it is better to include binfbateu3 as "book" like for set 740, instead of instructions.

fits perfectly in the counterparts section for all those inventories so I have
made the necessary changes.

I agree, but it is currently listed under the instructions entry, so we would
end up with duplicate entries (well, in fact we already have duplicate entries).

Catmins, is it somehow possible to move the instructions listings from
[i=5100]
to
[b=binfbateu3]
?

Not that I know of. Instructions are not a type of item; they are attached to
a set entry.

I believe what would need to happen is that any instructions for sale on that
set would need to be moved over to the book entry because the xref does not handle
this. This will require someone to contact the one seller who has it listed for
sale to see if they would move it over to the book entry. If the for sale items
were moved, the image could then be removed from the instructions entry and the
number of instructions for the set changed to zero. Then the book could be added
to the inventory.

Once again, I have too much going on right now, so if you and Reza want to see
if you can get it worked out, go for it.
