Tietoja minusta 50+, Computer programmer, Tiddlywinks player. Ringman was derived from a Thorpe's Ring in winks, see picture.

Tietoja kirjastostani I welcome corrections, if you find errors in my catalogue please send me a message.

Currently 4000 + books. Mainly paperback Sf and fantasy, with a sprinkling of English and Russian Classics.
Initial entry of books now complete, but still buying books. I have not entered some out of date computer manuals which are in my home catalogue.

Includes all Hugo and Nebula winning novels and about 96% of nominated novels. Where the award/nomination applies only to part of the book or to an earlier verison comment will give details. I now also have books containing only parts of nominated works (Analog).

I am tagging books with cover artists where possible. The cover images should correspond unless tagged wrong cover shown. Image mine indicates a scan of my book so the cover is right unless I've uploaded totally the wrong book. Image other means I have linked to someone else upload after comparing with my scan. If tagged ordered I don't have it yet so I can't be sure of the cover. Finally there's the tag too large to scan but that will soon go as I have a camara!

Other tags - collection includes omnibus collections of novels. Anthology means works by two or more authors and the entry in the author field is the editor. I have made a first pass on listing contents, in the comment field, but have not in general done poetry collections and anthologies. Note that I have made no attempt to list the contents in the order they occur in the book. (they come from a spreadsheet which get reordered in all sorts of ways)

The number at the start of the comment field is my numbering, and very roughly follows order of purchase at least for fiction.

30 duplicates.

I think it's this one, but I'm not in Portsmouth to check. It was near Kings Theatre and a shop that had a big gold dog on top of it.

WOW! Thank you Ringman. It is amazing what you can do with the proper directions. I followed your instructions and not only did my library appear but a ton of other stuff. I was using the Venue area and not getting anywhere. Now I'm all set. Maybe I should read the instructions for the site?!?
Thanks for helping out. See comments below.

"Some thoughts on your 10 improvements
1) Much asked for collections is what you need, tagging is what you've
got.
2)You can select what columns are displayed (edit next to ABCDE at top
of page). If you would like to control widths, I'm with you.
Thanks, but it still shows the icons on the right.
3) Just a list - as 2 select a style to be just author and title and
change to 100 items per page.
Ditto.
8) Local at top of page will give libraries, bookstores, book fairs and
events near you (you may need to specify your location more
accurately, but can do so on the local page where it will not be public). If your
local library is not there you can add it."
There is nothing showing for me and I am in the Bay Area. How do I add
my local Library?
Hi,

I'm interested in your library because we share a pretty high percentage (I've only cataloged about 500 books so far, and we share 130 of them), and I suspect I'll find a lot of sci fi/fantasy I'd like to explore among your books.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
In the curiously asymmetric way of such things, you are currently topping our "weighted" list of booksharers (though the converse is clearly not the case), so I thought I'd drop in to say 'hello'.
Hi,
I've been rather sporadically and unsystematically putting tables of contents of collections and anthologies into my comments field, and I see you have entered contents too. I have copied some of yours to save work. Obviously you are welcome to any of mine that you might think useful.
Regards, Jim Roberts
Wow - not only do we share quite a few books, but you have Geraldine Harris's Seven Citadels series. I read one of those books as a kid and then spent years trying to remember the series and author. Now I'm going to have to look through your library and see if there's anything else that rings a bell....
Hi there! I noticed your post in the forum on Favorite Authors and realized that we share a lot of Kate Wilhelm. I really love her SF. Have you read any of her newer novels, the legal thrillers?
You're the first 99% affinity match I've seen. I'll take a look at some of your favorites that I haven't seen before.
The last 'I've Got News For You' (that I saw - no idea if it was a repeat) featured a Tiddlywink magazine as the guest publication!
Great collection but your old photo was better.
Thanks, I've fixed "Children of the Wind" to be by Geraldine Harris instead of Lane. One of those I entered by ISBN instead of manually, so I wonder what that means!
You are correct regarding the book I had mistakenly entered as Geraldine Harris' "Seven Citadels"; as you suggested, I was referring to my copy of "The Seventh Gate". I've deleted the (non-existent!) "Seven Citadels", and replaced it with the correct entry.

Thanks for picking this up!
Thanks for your correction re Hope Mirrlees, although I was a bit confused by the typo in your correction. :)
I'm not responsible for the erroneous Dozois combinations, and in fact I've spent some time disentangling them in the past (clearly to no good effect, as they just keep getting recombined by the well-meaning but clueless).
By the way, your picture cracks me up.
You're absolutely correct, much to my annoyance (at the publisher(s) mostly and myself a little, not you). Mammoth 18 is indeed The Year's Best SF No. 22, which I did not realize as I haven't gotten around to reading either book. What frosts me even more is Mammoth 18 showed up from Amazon UK in such execrable condition I swore off ever using their services again after a couple of lengthy letters to their customer service department (Mammoth 18 was simply the last of several damaged/dirty books from Amazon UK to arrive on my doorstep over the years, and I decided it really would be the last). Thus, not only did I pay the UK price and the UK shipping for a book in lousy condition, it turns out it is a book I already own; ya gotta love it.

Good luck with figuring out the Dozois books. Let me know if I can do anything more to help.
Good spot. I haven't had chance to go through and correct all the errors in the automatic upload!
