STATE OF CATALOGUE
The areas that are left are: books from my childhood (1 shelf), misc overflow shelves (1 shelf), and paperback SF&F (22 shelves, doubled up). I think I've got about seventy percent of my library entered into LT.

I'm kind of dreading the SF&F. Most of it is old enough that there are no bar-codes. A "back of the envelope" calculation (count one shelf and multiply) says I have around 2000. Not looking forward to typing all those ISBNs (and some probably don't even have ISBNs...) Also hoping there will be support for my ACE doubles before I get around to having to figure out how to handle them.

As for typing ISBNs where there are no barcodes I recommend using a small tape recorder. First step: read all the ISBNs onto your recorder. Second Step: batch type the ISBNs from the tape into Librarything. Worked very well and very quickly for all (!) my books (I did not have a barcode scanner). Kind regards Christian
I saw you recently added La Chronique des Immortels : Le Making of. Can you tell me more about that one?
Hi,
I just saw you added my library and after checking your website, I figure there's a good chance we know some of the same people.
I've been at EA (Redwod City) for about seven years and if you're at a game company in the bay area....well....it's a small world.
Hi...one way of quicker book entry is to do a search for said book and see if anyone else has it in their collection, and then add it to your own.
