Random books from sdawson's library

About meMy home is in Albany, Oregon, USA. I live in an older (1886) house, with my wonderful wife, three daughters, one grand-daughter, and various sorts of pets.

About my libraryI enjoy reading and collecting books. As usual, my bookcases are too full, and I need to find yet more wall space. I enjoy classics and early 20th century authors. I collect Easton Press, Modern Library, Landmark, and other books that catch my fancy. I greatly enjoy juvenile fiction -- such as A. Ransome's Swallows & Amazons series, E. Kyle, M. Twain, R.L. Stevenson, J.K. Rowling, etc -- books that youths and adults both enjoy. I enjoy early heroic fantasy and science fiction, from the 1920's through the 1950's. I enjoy the American novelists up through the 1950's -- Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner, and others.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. It appears to be working for me. Tried some author and title searches in your library and got the results I expected. Did it 'fix itself' or are you still having issues? If you are please give me some example searches that are failing for you and any other relevant info (browser, operating system info, etc). Thanks -Mike

Dear Shawn,
Ara is building me a new bookcase in the library across the existing one. I'm so excited. There will be room for my books for a while. It goes floor to ceiling.
Love, Mom

Hi -- Thanks for the invitation to be your friend. I am very happy to be asked! My name is Adele and I see we have 31 books in common. I only joined Library Thing a few months ago and have been working my way through my bookshelves which tend to be organized by genre. The books I am presently cataloging are my classic novels, many of which we do have in common. I look forward to seeing your new additions as they appear.

Hi Shawn,
So, have you picked up The Deathly Hallows yet?? I bought it the morning it came out and finished last night.

I thought we were already friends, but I guess now it's official??
How is everyone?
The girls and I should be down to visit around the 20th.

It would be easy to understand if the book was out-of-print & rare, but I amazed by some books that come up as no one else having.

Hello, I just had to check your profile when I saw that you were the only other member that owned a copy of " The Magic Story". But it turns out we share forty titles (so far---I am only up to the M's).

DisneyWorld!! What fun! We had hoped that after doing our taxes we would have enough to do a week at Disneyland but no such luck. I saw a thing on the new Finding Nemo ride @ Epcot...it looks like fun!

Hi Shawn,
Angel was here this last weekend and we checked out your library and I noticed you had been adding some. Great job!! She signed up as well.

Maybe I'll get to the book covers after I finish adding my books. I see we also collect Landmarks.

Shawn,
I hope your family had fun camping.
I got both your mom and I caught up with you this weekend. I am sure that it won't last.
Have a great week.

Thanks for your interest. I have been collecting Folio Society books since 1974 but the rate of acquisition has accelerated since Ebay started attracting lots of booksellers. I fondly hoped to have acquired all their catalog by the year 2000 - however, I reckoned without the Society increasing its rate of publication and it simply got too expensive and self-indulgent to buy all their new titles. I am now resigned to never owning them all! :-(
Easton Press has not set its cap at the British market so we don't often see their books here. We occasionally see books from the Limited Editions Club, NY and I have a few of those.
I will be loading pictures of Folio Society titles as soon as I have finished my catalog but that may be a little while.
