George Bush talks about “hard work.” Ha! He’s never tried to put his book collection into Library Thing! The ISBN system wasn’t fully implemented until 1970 or thereabouts, and some of my books are way older than that. That means doing lookups by typing in the title and author name, which slows down the process. Nonetheless, it’s an enlightening exercise. I find it very hard to believe, for example, that I’m the only person in the 4,500-user universe who has a copy of “The Complete Works of Shakespeare, with illustrations by Rockwell Kent.” So far, though, that’s what it tells me. I’ve got 200 books in there at this point, and I’m not even done with two shelves. You can see my profile here; there’s a link to my catalog on that page.
