Once I started working, I started hitting the book stores, sometimes twice a week. Most of my stuff is either fantasy or science fiction, with an occasional branch into non-fiction to find out what the sci-fi authors are talking about.

That will add it as a possible source for your books if you go as far as adding that info.
From what you say, it's apparently mostly an online store so probably best add it as such (radio buttons at the top of the form to select venue type) rather than risk people showing up at the physical address hoping for a brick&mortal shop that doesn't exist.

People and Progress ... sounds so familiar but I can't look right now. My husband and I have lots of TV to catch up on since we can't watch it when we are apart. Later tonight I will write back to you...

I like my covers to show what kind of book I have - thus the ebook-ified covers and the doubles (and yes, those are inclusions). Those generic covers wouldn't do it for me. But obviously leahbird likes them...I love the way LT is used differently by each person.
The open books, yes, are on books/works (used in a slightly different sense than LT normal) that I don't have as individual pieces. Omnibuses are relatively easy, because they're collections of things that were published as individual books; they're nearly always already on LT. I add them to my library in the Inclusions collection, and give them a double cover with the cover of the omnibus on the left and the cover of the individual book on the right. The reason I catalog them is to be able to rate and review them separately from the other books in the omnibus.
Anthologies, and collections, are more difficult. They're made up of short works (short stories, novellas, whatever) that usually have not been published separately. So those I have to add manually (and I've only just started doing that - there are a _lot_ more to do). They get the collection cover on the left and the name of the story on the right. To my mind, a collection is stories by one author, which may or may not share a theme, a world, whatever; an anthology usually has a theme, and contains stories by multiple authors. There are also in-between things with a book and some short works - I usually count them as collections, though the book gets a cover rather than just the title on its double cover.

Um...re: Contacts - I haven't a clue. I don't have any, and I don't know what they are. Friends are reciprocal - you ask someone (through that system) to be a friend, and they have to respond and agree. Then both of you are each other's friend. Interesting Libraries are a sort of bookmark, really, though the person gets notified (as you can see from the other comment here!) that you're marking them. The Private Watch List is an Interesting Library that you don't want to know you're marking them - they don't get notified.
Ah, here we go - http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Friends_and_Connections
I found it by going to my Connections page and clicking Help (remember it's context-sensitive). That page didn't have much, but there was a link at the bottom that took me to the page above, which explains it very nicely. So contacts are a catch-all - no notification, but a link on your profile (visible to others, as PWI links are not).

Just thought you might be interested in looking at those.
See you around LT!
