I haven't been following this thread so I might be missing something 
about this specific project.

But, in general, it's really easy to make a review file of bibs from a 
review file of items.  Just start a new search, choose bibs for your 
record type, use your file of items as a range, and don't specify any 
search conditions.

There's an example here:
