2nd edit: And there's a typo, "Grapic"
I'm just waiting for the CueCat thingie to show up so I can
really
start entering books.
Yes, Jilli, I need to know which vampire books I need to read.

You should have seen the look on Pete's face when I told him I really do need a second bookshelf for the vampire books.
I've loaded all my primaries! 434, with some duplicated (oddly, at least one of those pocket pithy books. Why do I have one called
Why I live in Alabama
?)
The Nevil Shutes circa the 50's and 60's were a bitch. I certainly don't have the same editions in librarything that I do at home. Also, the Grooks I have aren't the same, and may not even be the same book, as mine is a MIT press edition.
Now to decide if I'll load any of my trashy (and not) romances. I don't often keep them, I just haven't made a deacquisition run in a while.
OK, so the thing is, putting all this in Library Thing made me want to get RID of some of my books, too. Lots of my trashy romances. A few trashy scifi. But I don't want to just give them to goodwill, and the used bookstore sure won't pay me much for them.
So what do I do with them? Try to swap them one by one? That would be more satisfying, as it would involve someone who specifically wanted THAT BOOK, but...pain in the ass.
Anyone wanna trade a boxload of trashy romances? Or about..um...a dozen random bad scifi?
Hee. I'm apparently one of those people who has to have the right edition.
Which is a problem for some of my books.

Yeah, me too. Or at least the right cover! But for some I have, it is a lost cause. No LC #, no ISBN, nada. And I'm not quite insane enough to create new entries for ALL of them.
Sad now. Just finished searching every nook and cranny in my apartment, and I cannot find anymore books, but more importantly, I can't find my copy of The Ghosts Who Went to School. I know exactly where it was before I moved furniture last fall, but no clue where it went after that. I fear it might've been an accidental victim of The Purge.
