About meI'm just another widely-but-not-well-read reader and book lover.
About my libraryI joined LibraryThing and started cataloging thinking it would be a way to thin out my holdings, add a little more shelf space. So far I've been able to let go of 25 books. And so it goes.
Looking for good data - please contact me if you identify errors or omissions in my catalogue, and also if I have achieved infernal idiocy status - please please tell me so I can mend my ways.

My copy really is just Flight From the Eagle, so I guess they did reuse the ISBN. I believe that did happen quite a lot in the UK back then, because they were expensive.
I don't know why you are envious of _my_ collection -- its the other way about! If you ever get hold of a copy of The Green Gallant, I will swim across and steal it from you ;)
Its so nice to meet like-minded readers here, though I think my favourite Heyer is The Great Ajax, or possibly The Quiet Gentleman, or maybe its --- well, you get the picture. But I haven't read Talisman for some years; its in my mother's collection (which I will get catalogued some day), so I must borrow it.

I interviewed Dorothy Uhnak about a year before she died. It's posted on the mysteryfile.com website. I like her smaller books more than her "blockbuster" ones where she kind goes off on tangents. But her noirs and P.I. books are first-rate almost without fail. I had to get rid of a bunch of books before a move to a smaller place. Thanks for your interest.
