About meI handle social media and rare books projects for LT, so if you have any questions about Early Reviewers, State of the Thing, LibraryThing for Publishers, LibraryThing for Authors, our Facebook and Twitter feeds, the LT Blogs, or the Legacy Libraries and Libraries of Early America, please feel free to ask!

Major interests: history of the book in early America and Bermuda, colonial and early national college libraries, literary curiosities and biblio-hoaxes.

About my libraryMainly history, biography, books on books and natural history - but with some fiction (mainly historical fiction and bibliomysteries) and other things thrown in as well. I also collect rarer items.

Check out my Read in 2013 tag to see what I've been reading so far this year, or the Read in 2012 tag for last year's list.

Questions about Early Reviewers or Member Giveaways? Please read this!

Hi there! If you're about to leave me a comment telling me that your Early Reviewer book hasn't arrived, please be aware that the best thing to do is simply to mark the book "unreceived" on the Books You've Won page - http://www.librarything.com/er_winnings.php?program=earlyreview. I follow up with publishers based only on those reports (because I get way too many others to try and keep track of them all in any other way). :-) If it hasn't yet been 60 days and you can't mark it unreceived yet, please be patient; the book is probably on its way (and if it still hasn't arrived in 60 days, you'll be able to mark it unreceived). Yes, sometimes it does take up to eight weeks for books to arrive (and no, I don't have tracking information for the books; the publishers mail them directly to you). In the meantime, no, the lack of a review is not counting against you.

For Member Giveaways, there is not a way to mark books unreceived. The lack of a review there does not count against you, so if it doesn't come after a while, you can contact the member responsible for the giveaway directly (their contact information is in the profile comment informing you that you won the book). If a Member Giveaway book doesn't arrive, we're sorry, but please don't sweat it.

Thanks!
Jeremy
