Hi Miss Sophie! Thanks for adding me.
It's not about the volume, it's the content. And your collection is really impressive! Let's get with the uploading!

I agree entirely with Ellen! XD about the ISBNs, that is... And re: uselessness of certain tags, you`ll be very surprised at the occasional urge to look up completely obscure categories in your books, like that, once you`ve got them all in. >:O

I knew I was forgetting something obvious! So there are three. Although the obvious tag for that group isn't very unique. I guess "john donne's song" would do.

I understand re: ISBNs. But home is not that far away for you now, is it? =3 Clearly the answer is to go over there some weekend and write down scads of ISBNs.

P.S. I love your "to say nothing of the dog" and "babylon rhyme" tags and they make me want to do the same, and also add John Donne's "Song" in some capacity (offhand it's certainly referred to in both Stardust and A House Like a Lotus). You clearly need to add Three Men in a Boat and (duh) To Say Nothing of the Dog to the former, though. CATALOGUE MORE!

Glad you are enjoying it! Though I agree with Natalie's comment about the suspicious shortness of your catalogue. GIVE IN TO THE ADDICTION. In my opinion the best thing to do is put in all the ISBNs and then go back and edit the entries for tags, correct spellings, covers, etc. (But be careful when changing covers, because if you use an Amazon one it'll change your ISBN.)

Don`t whine! It only took me about a week of mindnumbing punching in numbers D:D:D:

Books too old to have ISBN definitely became my enemy and I`m pretty sure I still have some wrong editions somewhere in my library >->

This catalogue is suspiciously short D:
