Selecting a Bunch of Clips

Ripple editing has been a huge step in my current project. I'm working on an audio book. It's a continuous stream of data that I chop up and piece together. When I'm done, I have to fuse all the newly created clips together using bounce to clip or bounce to track. Those clips could cover a time range of up to 45 minutes. I'm trying to find the most efficient way of selecting all those clips prior to bouncing. Right now I usually swipe from start to end but it's slow and inefficient. I've done the RTFM thing but I can't find very basic stuff like select from point A to B. 
 
If you have tricks or tips on how to wrangle 20 or 30 clips at a time I'd love to hear about it. There must be a better way.

Good question. Because of the way I record, there will be things in the track that I don't want. Several chapters may be recorded in a session, and all of them are on a single track. I go through the chapter, make the edits and bounce to a single clip that contains just one chapter. Each chapter then gets moved to it's own track. One big track turns into 2 or 3 tracks.

I would go with the track concept as well. When initially chopping chapters (I would do that first), shift-drag to a new track before micro-edits. Unlimited tracks can be your friend.
