I want to use collections a bit more, but I'm stuck: I cannot figure out how to find all my books which are NOT in a specific collection...
Does anybody know how I can do this? - Thanks for any help!

>4 leskwin: It is actually very hard to remove a book from all your collections. But should you manage it,
"The only way to remove a book from “All Collections” is to delete it from LibraryThing completely. Even if you manage to inadvertently remove a book from every other collection you have - it will still be available in “All Collections”. (Hint: check and see if you have a new Collection, "Lost and Found"; books in "Lost and Found" are not assigned to any Collections.)"
