About meA word about my collections: Your Library contains most of the books I own (albeit in several geographic locations). Read but not owned is only a small subset of books I've read but never did or no longer own. Theoretically, these books are all on my wish list, but instead of actively seeking them out, I'm waiting for them to cross my path again by chance. Wishlist contains some of the books I'd certainly or almost certainly like to have, but haven't read.

*** Wags frantically ***

posted by Ankher at 3:41 pm (EST) on Nov 28, 2009

Well, I should hope they would be cheaper secondhand. I've browsed the Folio Society's website before, gawked and gaped, and then been blown out of my mind by the prices. Still, they are so beautiful....

And now that I've revealed that I can see whenever you add books to your library, I suppose I might as well take you off my private watch list and add you as a friend. If you don't mind, of course.

What beautiful copies of Wodehouse you just added! I admit to jealousy.

Thank you. "Tis I, taken with my new birthday camera. I am quite excited. I have never owned a camera of my own. Both my husbands corrected extremely complicated cameras, with lots of confusing accessories.

I think the Tag Mirror is better as a general description (especially for the people who only use shelving tags). The tag cloud has more interesting facets. :)

That's why, in some ways, the tag mirror is more useful at characterizing a library... But I do tend to tag extensively (and for series), which is why there can be some weird ones in there. :)

So what's my catalog about, per lolavision? *curious*

I have sent you a plaintive plea for help here, #259.

Thanks so much for buying me the Rustaveli. I just knew that you'd get around to it some day. Let me know when I can come by and pick it up.

Ah, not separately, but I do have the "Sämtliche Bildergeschichten"
