Instead of reserving a specific item, shouldn't we prevent from
reserving damaged items? Isn't column items.notforloan done for this?

I don't understand why woman's reserve would be the first in the list.
Do you mean that only if the reserve shown is for the woman, then the
librarian can issue the book to her husband?

When trying to issue a book, wouldn't it be better to list all the
reserves on the biblio and let the librarian select the reserves to
cancel?
