Remove - but not delete - books/pdfs in Apple Books

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to remove books/PDFs from Books without deleting the file on my computer (MacBook). Any thoughts? Thank you!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Books is suddenly opening all my PDF's. How to stop? Books is finding all of the PDFs on my iMac. I just want books to show the PDF files I add to books, not EVERYTHING. Because of this it is nearly impossible to manage my collections and select files to synchronize with my phone and iPad. I have looked and tried solutions already posted but none of them work. Changing which app opens pdf files does nothing (Preview is used for opening all my pdf files already). This is a very cumbersome problem for me. Hopefully someone has a real fix.

Delete in iMac - can't delete only locally In Books... in iOS if I click delete I can choose between deleting *locally* or everywhere. In OSX... the only delete option is to delete the book EVERYWHERE... including iCloud - and then it will be deleted from all other devices It happens that I only want to delete it from my Mac... and kept it in the cloud Anybody - any ideas? cheers Luis
