This is a real mess. See work at: http://www.librarything.com/work/8107269 . The 1979 BCP was a radical departure for the Epicopal Church. Major differences is the emphasis on modern English (vs. Elizabethan) in the 1979 book and the fact that eucharistic lectionary is only referenced in the 79 book vs the readings being shown in full (KJV) in 1928. The psams in 1979 are a new translation vs. the Coverdale version in the 1928 book.

Has anyone taken this to the Combiners! group? They specialize in sorting out such messes.

I didn't take this to the Combiners Group. I am a member of that group, and have middling competence in combining and separating. I think what alarmed me was that there was a disambiguation comment on both the 1979 and 1928 Prayer books
sic: Combine the following works?
The Book of Common Prayer 1979 by Episcopal Church. (1724 copies)
Disambiguation notice: This work includes all editions of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Previous revisions of the American BCP are combined separately for ease of access.
Although based on the Church of England's 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the American BCPs differ from the Church of England's in several respects, including the Prayer of Consecration at the Eucharist, prayers for civil rulers, and certain revisions of the Thirty-nine Articles. They are therefore considered separate works and NOT combined with the English BCPs.
Likewise, since the 1979 BCP embodies significant changes in both language and theology from earlier revisions, it is classified as a separate work also. PLEASE do not combine these works.
Finally, please be careful not to confuse the C of E's 1928 and 1979 revisions of their Prayer Book with the American revisions of the same years.
Disambiguation notice: This work includes the Episcopal Church (USA)'s 1979 Book of Common Prayer, the Draft BCP of 1976 and Proposed BCP of 1977 that preceded it, and subsequent editions. Since the 1979 BCP embodies substantial changes in language compared to earlier editions, it is classified as a separate work. Please do not combine this work with those of earlier editions.
Likewise, please do not combine any works of the American BCP with their Church of England counterparts.

About two weeks ago, I separated out all the BCP's that were clearly 1928 versions. I've gone back today and separated a whole bunch of others that don't belong to 1979. I stopped after 20 minutes or so when I got the impression that the the separations were no longer taking. But I did separate out a bunch of 1892 versions. The next step is to try to recombine some of these separated copies, when they are the same but aren't consistently shown with the same author (or with an attributed author).
I generally feel that the proposed version (1977) can be left with the 1979 official date copies, as the only changes made were corrections of typos. I am of mixed mind about the most recent change of four years ago when the 1979 lectionary was replaced with the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The problem is that one cannot tell which version has the RCL unless one picks up a copy of the actual book and read the Certificate by the Custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer on the obverse side of the title page.
