About my libraryI own 2500 books, most entered in Library Thing. I also added journal articles, movies and music CDs I have a 2000 item doll museum and am adding them as realia. My collections are dolls, political science, especially presidents and first ladies, my travels to New Zealand and the Caribbean. There is a smattering of science, art, and Atlanta and Georgia materials.

The house/museum is located in Escanaba, Michigan (Upper Peninsula). Donna LaPorte is the owner's name, and she gives all admissions donations to a charity...can't remember which it is right now.
Let me know if you can't open it. I just did a lot of snapping (with permission)so I apologize for some of the light quality.

I've fallen quite behind on cataloging sound recordings. I wish there were a quicker process....I'm sorry your books are in crates...

I haven't read it recently, but I do remember enjoying it when I did last read it. I had to read it for my high school economics class which would have been in 2000. It seems like I've forgotten a lot of what I've learned, so I should probably reread it sometime soon.

I too am rereading Wodehouse after several decades. Brilliant! As for the steam trains, I'm taking a week off at the end of July to go down to South Africa to drive and fire (stoke) one. Hard physical work, but relaxing after the complexities of peace work in Sudan!
Cheers!

It is a recent entry but in fact I read it in 1982.
By now, it is mostly outdated and irrelevant. The only interesting part is the mention of the problem of nationalities causing the fall of the Soviet Union, but even this was not new at the time = a much more detailed analysis, "l'Empire Eclate" had been published in 1978 by the French "sovietologist" Helene Carrere dEncausse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hélène_Carrère_d%27Encausse.

Anything is possible!
We're actually a (very) small college, the nursing collection is just more established (also better-cataloged.) We had a (former) library worker who was very interested in politics and history, and I'm sure that WW3 was a donation from him... We actually have a fair amount of students and faculty who are devoted readers, and we have a monthly book club. So while I do sometimes despair, I have some hope for the future!

You left a comment on my profile quite a while ago and it's the first time since then that I've logged in to add to my collection.
Really, the reason I'm using boxes to keep track of my collection right now is because we're between permanent houses and the vast majority of my books are in a storage unit. We've been getting a few boxes at a time out, cataloging them and putting them back in. The boxes are mostly the boxes that copy paper comes in as the majority of the books we have fit in them, they are not too heavy to lift, and we can get them for free.
Hopefully I should be on here more often for a while so if you have any other question, feel free to ask.

I am sorry it took me so long to react. I bought it but i am buying what i am interested in but i am buying quicker than i can read. So Third Worldwar is still in the pile TO Read. So i can't give a reasonable answer on your question. Perhaps later.
Greetings from Belgium.

I have no idea! I'm a librarian and cataloger for a small college. Actually, it's an older item in our catalog, I just recently scanned about 700 older items into LT. I sincerely wish that I had a chance to read all of our books :)

I'll have to look it up again to see how it holds up, but I remember it being somewhat less interesting than I hoped, with lots of NATO jargon slowing down the narrative. Also the ending with a limited nuclear exchange seemed to me more like a Hollywood style happy end bolted on.
Then again, I'm quoting from memory.
