LibraryThing promised me a free lifetime subscription if I moved my books from Shelfari (because of it's death sentence) to LT. I imported the file, but it stopped (because I didn't have a subscription) before all my books got moved. I cannot find anything here about the free lifetime subscription and now I'm missing approx. 880 books. What to do?
Thanks in advance.

I suggest contacting @Lorannen.

The fact that the file didn't finish importing could have several reasons. There were some bugs in the Shelfari import that they have been working on. Your import does seem to be affected.

Have a look at http://www.librarything.com/topic/217443. In fact there is a lot in that group that would probably interest you.

It looks like everything's here now! Thanks again.

But have a look through. I see several authors such as 'Zara' or 'W.' that are going to make trouble for you.

There is no limit on the first import.
