About meprofile img by the late Hannah Hoch (not me)
About my libraryI move often (part of the reason I'm trying to catalog all my books) and therefore my library, like any category amongst my possessions, has become quite streamlined. These are all books I like enough to have decided that, yes, they are important enough to lug over to yet another city and up another 3 flights of stairs time and again. (Paperbacks don't get any special consideration, mind you.)
I list children's books by their illustrators, because that's what's most important for me. If the story's what's worthwhile, they're filed on my RL bookshelves separately, under YA fiction or humor or poetry or what have you. It all makes very perfect sense.

I think it's definitely worthwhile (I bought it on sale so doubly so for me ;) There are some very nice photos in it, both exteriors and interiors and quite a few drawings as well. I wouldn't have minded more details about the houses but since it's mainly a guide and covers a lot of houses I don't think one can expect more in-depth descriptions.
