How do I SELECT multiple albums in iPhoto?

Question

I can select a single album:
select album "Album A"
But, How do I SELECT multiple (non-contiguous) albums in a list?
Something like :
select album's {"album1","album3","album9"} --(doesn't work)

I agree, it seems to just be limited to children of Library.
I'm going to use your 'build command' to deselect all Library items. That way, the novice computer user will get visual feedback that Library items won't be processed.
----------------applescript
tell application "iPhoto"
set _selection to selection as list
--getting selected albums inherently omits Library albums (a bug IMHO) .
set _albumsSelected to {}
repeat with _album in _selection
set end of _albumsSelected to _album's name
end repeat
-- Now, reselt albums to deselect Library albums.
set commandString to "select (albums whose name is "
set firstLoop to true
repeat with albumName in _albumsSelected
if firstLoop then
set commandString to commandString & "\"" & albumName & "\""
set firstLoop to false
else
set commandString to commandString & " or name is " & "\"" & albumName & "\""
end if
end repeat
set commandString to commandString & ")"
run script {commandString}
end tell
Thanks Bernard for your help. I just changed "contains" to "is" because in my tests I had "untitled album", "untitled album 1" etc. Then, because of the first "untitled album", all iterations were re-selected (not desirable).
