About my library I only list the keepers and classics on Library Thing - not every book I own. Many books come and go - once read, off to Half-Price, given, or loaned. My collection of children's books are, for the most part, not listed nor are anthologies such as the "Best of" series compiled each year in areas such as magazine or food writing.
