Pretty neat, although for the $10-$25 yearly fee I'll be content to just look at my book shelves.

The first 200 or so are free, plus you can find related books on topics. Also its working on the WEB 2.0 community idea. Plus I can shoot people here when they want to know what books I have.

Interesting site - I collect antiquarian books myself in addition to my re-prints. At present I am blessed with around 600 volumes, at present, with 99.9% of them theology and no dups of anything. I hardly think this is boastworthy compared to Spurgeon, but I am quite happy with the selections I have - which include some real gems in the realm of eschatology from the 19th century. I am always scouring yard sales to see what people are willing to give me for little, that I think are treasures..esp. 19th century stuff.

I love books with fine bindings, leather, vellum, or nice cloth boards with blindstamping, gilding, tooled compartments, raised bands and marbled endpapers and foredges! The books made today are cheap fast food compared to the love that went into making books "back in the day." They were making em' to last. With antiquarian books I go "gaga"

Thanks for sharing!



But I will prefer to keep my catalogue to myself

Wow, what an interesting yet boring site. It's kind of good though because I like to know what others think about books that I have in my library. :smile:
