I have a up scan of the following, though the publisher is different so the jacket illustration may be different. To find it search on the author's surname, as mine isn't somehow "connected" to other copies --

Art of the Rhyme
by B.J. Pendlebury

I also have a scan up of Light Up the Cave.

I may also have other scans you can use -- I don't know the covers of the books for which you don't yet have scans. But I certainly know I've not as many volumes of poetry (and related)!

Here's an idea: how about an annotated bibliography/review of the many books you have on poetic forms?

Stop by my catalog and check my Levertov and related, to which I'm continuing to add. Should be at least another two (British "Relearning the Alphabet" being one of those) within a month or so.

Alas, not all yet have covers. And some in the catalog aren't of the copies I have -- of special note the British "Sorrow Dance": of that my copy is gooorrggeeeous -- finer than merely fine! Same for "Footprints," "To Stay Alive" and a number of others.

Too many books, indeed. But listening to your tales of paring down the library by the odd 20,000 or so volumes makes me break into a bibliophilic sweat. Next time you dumptruck, just back it up to my door. LOL

By the way, I love the fact that on your 10 Books on Robinson Crusoe's Swiss Family Castaway With Tom Hanks Redundancy Island Vacation List, Minus Gilligan and the Skipper Too, you have Calvin & Hobbes. I purchased (though they could have been kinder on the pricetag) the nice, hardbound, complete set they (finally) issued a year or two back, and agree with you: ESSENTIAL READING. Calvin & Hobbes is hands down the best cartoon in America (past and present). I hooked my own young sons on it immediately as well.

Hello,

What a wonderful catalog of books! I see that we have a number in common (although I am a long way off from the number you have, I too love to collect books and find it hard to shed them). We're not in the same place in our lives for sure - as you describe yourself as "an old guy" and I'm a 34-year-old mom of two small children. BUT what can tie people better than a love of reading? My catalog right now is just the books I've kept track of reading sinc 2003 (I think). Motherhood brings it's own kind of senility - so I started keeping lists of what I had read because I'd find myself buying duplicates and re-reading things without remembering I had read them! I wish I could go back and put in all the books I remember reading in my life. Maybe a side project.;^)

Best of luck with growing you catalog!

Tibet, as you probably know, is the guy whose astonishingly expensive press, Durtro, has reprinted, in limited quantities, much of Stenbock's writings - including studies of death (Oh. Damn.

I hear you. Here's a bug that _I've_ spotted: the Amazon look-up will fail, and it will add a line to my catalog - but the line will consist of SOLELY my tags - LT won't have picked up ANY of the Amazon info. If I don't notice immediately - and I must have missed SOME of these when I was starting - that means I have books that I THINK that I've entered, that aren't actually present in my catalog.

Short of conducting a tedious physical shelf check, the only alternative I can think of is to delete entire days of data-entry, and start over.

I'm still scratching my head over a few score of the duplications, too. Most are real, but should have been tagged at the time of entry with "reading copy" or "reprint edition" or something, to reduce the ambiguity. Some I think are just phantom duplicates, and a mystery, and these will also require a shelf check.

I used to READ books; now all I've done (for two months now) is input my books into LT....

Jane Austen - Collected Works
Diana Gabaldon - Outlander
John McCain - Faith of my Fathers
JRR Tolkien - The Hobbit
Kurt Vonnegut - any or all of them
Robert Frost - Collection
Scrabble Dictionary (yes I do read it. Did you know zzz is a word? But you can't use it on the board, only one z)

About half of the list is in danger of my getting bumped according what is going on in my life. The other half have always been THERE, and will never go away.

>your collection keeps getting better and better :)

Thanks. My first couple weeks' of input is pretty inaccurate, especially for pre-ISBN titles. I mean, I DO have lots of dupes, but those are usually deliberate. My LT list shows scores of dupes that are suspicious; and some books are definitely missing from my LT catalog, so I'm going to have to start over from the beginning and do a shelf check on my first 500-1000 entries or so. ( Last night I straightened out my Dozois "Year's Best" volumes - LT was showing a couple more listings than I had books.)

While I'm doing that, I might as well add a tag for "dupe/for disposal", since Tim is making it so easy to arrange book-swapping. Which will amount to a public record of what I will have available for swapping.

I'm down to the last 1000 or so books under my roof; then I'll have to consider what to do about the books that have been relegated to storage. Maybe they aren't worth cataloging; maybe I should build some more bookcases and bring them back... might be good to know what I have, though, so maybe a "storage" tag is in order.

I cataloged my collection in an Excel spreadsheet before I discovered this and other websites. After reading other's comments about your collection, I see I'll have to check it out - should be a lot of stuff I don't have and, of course, need!

oh, I like your 'top ten desert island picks'...although, I'd have to add a Bible in there too. ;)

Nice collection of Fairy Tales, and Illustrated books! I'm very envious! It looks as though you have the entire collection of Fairy Books by Andew Lang! Sniff...Sniff... I only have two!

Ooh! You have Hopkins' Journals and Papers -- I'm jealous!

I'm building a site for cataloging CDs, though it's going to be months before it's up. I'm trying to make it very much like LibraryThing, though many things will of course need to be different.

When there's something worth showing, I'll mention it on the LibraryThing group.

Cool. Glad you have some help. :) You are bound to have something, for sure, I would think, not on the list. There is that Howard character, Bran, I think, for one? You can get the list via the tag, but if you want, I have a text file, too. Seems some are fragile indeed, I wonder how much stuff Paul Allen has, for one? :)

Have you made it to the main part of your books yet? :)

Go for http://www.cd-tracker.com to catalog cds, it's a great site, though you have to enter each one individually.
