Thanks for the response. Yes, I am an Atlantan, my greatgrandmother refugeed when Sherman arrived, and on my mother's side I lost a great great uncle at the Battle of Peachtree Creek. He is probably buried in the unmarked graves at Oakland Cemetary.

I am very interested in presidents and more specifically their wives.I have a collection of presidential and first lady dolls and am probably cheating by using Librarything to import pictures under the "change cover" to add them to my library. Technically "realia" I suppose.

And of course I am interested in Atlanta.

Hey, you live near where my wife lived, before coming to Oxford. We've a fair number of books in common, probably more if I get back around to putting my library in.

Nice to hear from you. I finally made time over the last Christmas break to put most of my books in librarything - the good thing about it was it let me put my hands on all my books, dust them off and actually look at what I had.
