Random Member, Random Work, Random Tag, Huh?

.

About my libraryIt is unwieldy. So after making a lot of smoke out of the starting gate, I have slowed way down; perhaps a quarter of my books are here. None of the books I've had a long time and are upstairs in back will get here for some time. As I get new books, however, I catalogue them immediately.

On line book vendors that I have found useful:

Barny Noble's my default new book source, but they have tried me mercilessly from time to time.
Edward R Hamilton for remainders and some new books
AbeBooks for used books; part owner of LibraryThing
Christian Book Distributors for Christian books and some Jewish books
Liberty Fund for solid, historical books on liberty; fulfillment is by the University of Chicago Press
Oxford University Press, U.S.A. as a vendor best when there are specials; sometimes difficult web site
