Caesia,
Thanks for the info on A.L.Barker.
Don't worry about the 'proof reading', I've just had to go back to one of my friends on the web and send my regrets that I have given him some book details that I had already sent to him a couple of messages ago! Both things are very easy to do.
Speak to you soon.

Hello,
Nice to hear from you again. and also glad that you have managed to enter all of your books. It's quite surprising just how many seem to lurk in odd and forgotten places.
With regard to your question about "online books",now that is difficult and one that I have not come across before.My immediate feeling would be -yes,enter them,as otherwise you will not have the authors complete works. However if you want a more complete answer,perhaps you would let me know the author you mean (and their books both actual and online)and I will try to help more.
I was interested to hear about A.L. Barker,a name not previously known to me. I'll have to give them a try.
All the best

Hi, I've just found your library today. I do agree about the covers - I too have put all my covers on, and enjoy viewing my library as it really is. There is a 'warts-and-all' aspect to it, though, as I often have to scan my covers in and some of my copies are rather ancient!

I look forward to having a look at yours.

Hi Caesia,
It was a pleasure browsing through your library. It's much more interesting when all the books have covers...I wish more people did it. Particularly like your vintage juvenile and mystery editions.
Cheers.

Hello again Caesia,
Thanks for the list of Australian authors which I shall find very useful. They are all new to me apart from Paul Temple.
Regarding British writers,on looking through your Library,you seem to have quite a fair selection already,however here goes.☞ Edmund Crispin is a 'classic' writer,best known for "The Moving Toyshop" (this takes place in Oxford),Andrew Taylor with his two (main)series of English murder mysteries, Jill Paton Walsh whose latest (and I think best) book is called "The Bad Quarto",Sarah Cauldwell who wrote only four books (but what a four) before her premature death.The books are funny without being silly if you know what I mean,and feature a team of young barristers.I don't know if you like Historical mysteries,but if you do then I can recommend "THe Meaning of Night"by Michael Cox,and The Matthew Shardlake series by C.J.Sansom (three books so far)
Hope that helps,but if you need any more do let me know.
Best wishes.

Hello Caesia,
Nice to hear from you again and to be able to view your excellent library. Thanks for deciding to make it public so that other members can see your collection. As you so rightly say,we seem to share quite a large number of books,622 at the moment.
Now I have had a chance to have a look at your books,I can see a load of them are of interest to me and so I hope you will not mind if I return the compliment of adding you to my list of 'Interesting Libraries' too.
I note that one of your tags is 'Books about Books' and you may in turn be interested to see mine tagged in the same way.
If you can recommend any Australian Crime Fiction apart from Arthur Upfield,who I know well and collect,although not always easy to get hold of here,I would be grateful to you.
Best wishes and do keep in touch.

Hi Caesia

Thank you! So did you check out the author cloud. Often a good way to get a quick overview!

We have been a bit over-the-top buying children's books these last eight years!! I have 3 children, 14, 11 and 8 and our last child is a reluctant reader, so we throw books at her!! I also started LT straight after being a little bit obsessive about the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge, printing out lists, ticking off what books we had as it were, so that explains the rather intensive tagging. We are far away from convenient libraries, so we purchase rather a lot.

Your library is increasing by the day, I see! Good work!

Cataloguing is so addictive! I have more to go of the old stuff in the house which won't have ISBN's.

Have fun.

Hi,
I'm just dropping in to say you've appeared on my top50 similar libraries, and how much fun I've had zooming through you're collection. My library doesn't include my more youthful reading obsessions, but you have plenty authors I remember reading but no longer have! You also have some authors I've never read, but look veerrry interesting! What a busy post Christmas time you had!
Thanks!
