Heigh ho, me hearty! I see you have a copy of “A Pirate of Exquisite Mind” in your library. The Highly-Rated Book Group is boarding the Pirate Ship of William Dampier and heading off into the high seas for a rollicking Buccaneering Adventure in the wild blue yonder. We are splicing the main brace and trimming the sails to set off with the tide on 3rd November 2008. So don’t be a landlubber, come and swash some buckles by climbing on board at:

Hello, I was impressed with your collection of Pacific exploration works here. I think it would be great to be able to map some of your annotations (in catalogue notes) over to the new "Common knowledge" function in LT; those are very useful descriptions.

Cheers, b.
