Thanks for your comments.
I guess these are the virtues of being retired and having time to do things like reading and "playing with dolls".
I kept wondering if Librarthing people would decided adding photographs of dolls was not appropriate and making me stop, but so far no problem.
A lot of my annotations come from another web page I did (and still pay for to keep going with Tripod, so I just had to cut and paste.

But I am also reading politics, economics and rereading some doll books.

I just finished The Merchant Bankers, a very interesting account, background to the current "meltdown". It is interesting that back then the author chose Lehman Bros. as the example of the American merchant bank.

Again, thanks.

I am starting to add my doll books which I have been accumulating since 2000. It gives me a chance to look at what we both have. I discovered that I can put in reviews right from the place you put in tags without editing. My intention is to call attention to particular dolls that fit my international and first lady/presidents collection.

Also, when I started collecting I was adding mosting ballet figure dolls and still have quite a collection there.

Once I get all the books in, I will go back to adding my actual dolls.

Another note. Since I do not have book shelving and going on 2,000 books I have put the in boxes and added tags for the boxes.

Hope all is well with you. I am realizing that like Facebook,Library thing IS a social network.

Interesting,we share collections of dolls (I have not begun to put my entire doll colletion in yet), check out how I have added my actual doll photos, using the change covers function.

I just read the Merchant Bankers. Really interesting. Suprised we both share this.
