Good! We can do Mrs. Piozzi's library after we do Boswell's library. So far it will be you, me and larxol (Dave Larkin) for the Boswell library. I'll contact you in a week or two.

It's moibibliomaniac again. I noticed you have a significant number of James Boswell's books in your library. Would you like to help catalog his library on Library Thing?

I have a copy of the auction catalogue of the sale of his library, and will send PDF files of portions of the catalogue to those who wish to participate in cataloging his library. We will begin sometime early next month. Everyone works at their own pace.

Please let me know if you're interested.

best,
Jerry Morris

Thanks for selecting Charles Lamb's library as one of your interesting libraries. I enjoyed cataloging the library.

I just want to let you know that I have scanned and uploaded my cover for The Constant Nymph, and since you have the same edition (same ISBN) as mine, I thought you might want to know that a correct cover for the Dial Press edition is now available.

Enjoy

Thank you for your very kind answer. I knew already that anecdote about Johnson and the Anatomy of Melancholy. But I puzzles me the more... because I found this big book really boring. At least I wouldn't be ready to get up 2 hours earlier to (re)read it!
I think I have to decide now and have a try to read the Life of Johnson. But it will be postponed to next year, since I plan to read Claire Tomalin's Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn's Diary first.
Thanks again.

I'm amazed by the number of books by Boswell in your catalogue! I'm reading the London Journal, which I find very funny and very neatly written. I was looking forward to buy the Life of Johnson (that you rate 4 or 5 stars). But I'm afraid that it's less easy reading, because Johnson's comments quoted in the London Journal are sometimes obscure (at least to me). Did you find the Life of Johnson much more interesting than the London Journal?
