About my library I'm slowly getting everything in. So far all of my needlework books and the cookbooks are in (unless there are stragglers not on the shelf they belong on), a fair number of the travel books, a bit of the fiction, and about 90% of my theology books. My son says I have done all the science fiction, but more may be hiding under his bed.
The recommended style of viewing is only important for those actually using the theology books. (Comments includes shelving information.) Eventually I may get shelving information for other collections in, too. But that's for after most of our books are in. Not this year!
The first tag is always indicates which collection the book is with. So all of Bill Bryson's books are labeled 'fiction'. We keep them together filed under his name in the fiction bookcase rather than separating them by topic. On the other hand, there is a fair amount of fiction with 'theology' as the first tag because I keep them in (a fiction area of) my theology collection. If a book is tagged 'Steven' it belongs to my son, and I take no responsibility for it. If it doesn't say 'Steven' it might still be his, but I probably have read it, or might read it now that I know he has it. If a tag begins with @, I don't own htat book. So far I have put in very few books that we don't own. But just wait until collections come!

Schloss Hof has seen a spectacular recovery. Unfortunately, according to a recent article in the Kurier (which otherwise is heavily promoting it almost every other week) it is bleeding money right and left. I hope it can keep up its present activity level. I fear it is situated too far away from tourist traffic to be sustainable.

Well, I do both. I like to take a quick update of many museums to return later to the promising ones. And one can avoid the crowds mostly by turning up at the big attractions after 9.30 pm, having visited the smaller and more exotic ones. And some museums like the Bestattungsmuseum are twice as attractive when they put on the full pompe-funèbres dog and pony show.

I will probably dash into the Papyrus Museum during the Lange Nacht der Museen on Saturday. I hope the air is less sticky than when I last visited.

I don't trust any of the maps or counters, mostly because I am clueless about them and they do not behave sensibly from my point of view. With that in mind, I have added a third map.
I hope to find your theology collection useful. That is why I marked your library as interesting.

I might be able to get some Word versions up before the weekend, but for sure I'll get some up by the end of the weekend.

Sometimes I can't believe how many books I have in my small apartment! Where do I find room for them? Simple, I stack them on the floor. I also have a rule that when I read a book I have to give it away. (even the ones I don't really like all that much. Who am I to say that a book I didn't like won't just be the cats meow for somebody else.) It is my way of spreading the joy around becuase I love books.
I got into librarything becuase I needed something simple and easy that would allow me to catalog my books and keep track of them. This site does that. The format is simple and easy to understand and that is important to me. Even though I work in a library, I don't have lots of time to figure things out so it being simple is of paramount importance. You will notice that I don't have a personal library comments sheet yet and don't know how soon I will get around to having one. Right now there is just no time. I get a little testy with computer geeks who seem to want to display their knowledge about computer things. I these people were so smart how come they didn't start librarything?
