Well, your collection looks wonderful! I browsed thru the list and discovered all sorts of interesting info (with the help of Google) about miniature book publishers. I really have long enjoyed the three St. Onge books I have--have had them since the late 1970s I think. I believe my 'problem' is having too many interests and a lack of pin-point focus. That will become more obvious with more listings here. I am sorry, however, that 90 percent of the books I want to list require scanning of the covers. That makes it far more time-consuming than I'd like. Can you direct me to information about the miniature collectors' group? I promise to myself I'll not get involved, but it would be most interesting to read about. I'll keep checking in to your dandy collection and, I'm sure, finding more goodies I might need to pursue.

Hey Karen-- I Love your tag clouds! I've recently started a shelfari account and will be duplicating it here to see which I prefer.... :) I have too many books and too much tagging ahead of me.
