About me Twenty-nine years of library experience, wrapped in a pair of jeans and a MAGE t-shirt. I was sidelined for a while with a broken leg (courtesy of a hit-and-run driver), but I'm moving on my own once again.

I've been lucky to have a wonderful wife who understands my obsessions and is willing to let me rack and stack books on every available space in our house. While I still can't get to the books upstairs, she brings an armload down now and then to let me continue the never-ending battle that is entering all my books on LibraryThing.

About my library Lots of science fiction, books on comic books (history & collections) and comic strips, along with a bit of history thrown in for good measure. There's a large number of books by Harlan Ellison, Michael Moorcock, Stephen King, Roger Zelazny, Robert A. Heinlein, Alan Moore and Walt Kelly (Pogo). I also have a fondness for BUCKAROO BANZAI -- hence the photo of Lord John Whorfin in my profile.

The books on pyschology / therapy / hypnotherapy are my wife's books; so are most of the STAR TREK books. ("Guilty Pleasure" indeed. I know an obsession when I see one.)

All of the items listed in this catalog are books residing currently in our house. It does not include e-books, DVDs, or listings of "books I want to buy".

We seem to have very similar collecting interests. I'm coming close to inventorying most of my hardcover and paperback books (still have to do what's on the shelves, but the bulk of my boxed collection is done)and I'll then get busy on the comics related stuff. Kudos on your collection!
Hi, I noticed several chess titles in your catalog and thought you may like to check my forum site out- www.ChessForums.org, we have a dedicated section to chess books and recommended reading you may be interested in, thanks, Greg
Keen. Thanks. I didn't know that about 2000AD's Annuals. (I've never focused in very well on the publishing history in the UK, although I've certainly appreciated folks like Moore and Davis who came from that tradition.)

I was mostly asking because I've encountered a few people on LT who are cataloging individual issues. Since, as you say, there are different places in which to catalogue individual comics, I've been a bit skeptical of those folks.

Things like "Bring on The Bad Guys" and "Son of Origins" are what helped get me into comics in the first place, so I was vaguely aware of Marvel's 70s and 80s books, yes. And I'm certainly aware that the tpb/original GN market is, well, burgeoning, and that reprints are (finally) fairly commonly available, at least for certain specific time periods. (There's some cut off date for DC, at least, where if they reprint past that period they get bogged down in paying more royalties than they'd like, but I forget what year that is.)

I'm currently just a student and I can't /afford/ a lot of them, is all. A good deal of my more recent collection is from 25 cent bins, etc. Though I have a few actual good runs of things, too, from when I was working and more able to finance the addictio... er, that is, habit. All told I've got nothin', comparatively, but I think I've got about 2,000. Though I'm only in the interim stage of cataloging, via (bleh) Word at the moment, so I don't have an exact number. Whups.)
Huh. Nifty. I wish I had your comic library-- Really good bunch of graphic novels. (I haven't gotten around to mine, and there's only ab out 15 of them.)

Am I to take it you only input individual comics if they're Annuals? Or are the 2000AD Annuals bigger? (I've never encountered them, so hence, I ask.)
Hahahahahaha finally someone who has seen Buckaroo Banzai, and liked it to. I was begining to think I was the only one who had even seen the movie.
Fleeting is right. Now we are #3 and 4: bertilak (3,639), opirg-carleton (3,505), Neuromancer (3,064), michtelassn (2,984)
Two copies of Buckaroo Banzai? Lucky! Tracked one down at a second hand bookshop, ordered it, and when it came it was the videotape! Read that one in high school and been looking for ages, will have to keep doing so I guess. :)
Oh no! You have knocked me out of first place for "50 top taggers
By number of distinct tags (for Lilithcat)":
Neuromancer (3,044), michtelassn (2,984). Snif. (See "Zeitgeist", left column down a ways.)
Sorry to have ruined your Doomsman monopoly. I could've ruined it twice over, but I returned my originally-collected copy to the author after Rick Wyatt confirmed that HE wanted them all back. Then HE announced that he had zillions, and he was over it, and please stop sending them, so I kept my second copy. You and me and nobody else, I guess.
