Acerca de míOne of us catalogs books at the library for a living, and the other sells them at the bookstore. And when we get off work we go out and accumulate them for ourselves.

Acerca de mi bibliotecaAlmost everything was a bargain. So cheap you really couldn't say no.

We use the Expedit shelving from Ikea--the ones divided into big squares. They're deep enough to double-row, tall enough to accommodate a range of sizes, and you can squeeze things into any remaining space along the top of each square.

Yes, you're right about price being a consideration on why Erotic Comics was rejected. The books I recommended for Secret Santa were from Amazon. Only about $23 bucks for two new books. Since you preferred Harvard Books, where the selection is smaller and prices more expensive, the LibraryThing librarian purchased books from there instead. I didn't realize the recommended vendor was so literal and inflexible.

I had a good Secret Santa this year. The selections were so good, I thought I'd placed the order myself. I'm a big Hermandez Brothers fan, so Sloth was fun. I've been reading cyberpunk since the 1980s, so Post-Cyberpunk Anthology was a logical purchase. Thanks for asking.

Much luck and success to you in 2010.

Hello BellyandKill,

Hope you enjoy your Secret Santa books Looks like you got one of the books I selected, Fever: How Rock 'n' Roll Transformed Gender in America.

The other book I spent hours selecting for you was not purchased. If you're curious, I still recommend the book below. I think it's similar to your LibraryThing library and stuff on your wish list.

Erotic Comics: A Graphic History from Tijuana Bibles to Underground Comix, Tim Pilcher (Author), Gene Jr. Kannenberg (Author), Aline Kominsky-Crumb (Foreword)

http://www.amazon.com/Erotic-Comics-Graphic-History-Underground/dp/0810995158

ISBN-10: 0810995158

ISBN-13: 978-0810995154

I got the book myself and it's pretty entertaining.

Thanks so much for letting me know! Will definitely be looking some of these artists up online.

Best library ever! Where are you finding all the minicomics? You're into stuff I've never heard of. (BTW, Atomic Books is love. I miss it. :( )

Hi BellyandKill,

Hah - you would surely need the lungs of a Right whale to take a deep breathe and re-tag your library. Then again you are in the book biz. But maybe that just makes it more difficult? I'm still stalling. It seems so absurd. I'm thinking of hiring a teenage relative and instructing them just to "get jiggy" with it. Or maybe hiring a migrant worker, and having them do some exotic Magical realism thing with categories like "Siesta-time", "Macho", "Ay-yie-yie" "mucho Gringo" and "a big fish".

Actually, my wife and I may be moving soon, and so I'm considering a hybrid system that has both a category and a box number in one tag. Something like "Incomprehensible Post Modernists - Box 6". That way I could efficiently raid a storage shed or basement, in the event I someday lack shelf space.

Peace,
G

We have good taste, I think.

Highsmith is an old favorite of mine. I heard she started out writing
Superman comics! She seems to be in the tradition of "psychological"
mysteries writers like Simenon.

Hi -
Just logged in my copy of Detroit Is My Own Home Town by Malcolm Bingay. It's been in a box in the basement for a while, in a group of books that used to belong to my parents. Parts of my family have been in Detroit since the late 19th century, and it actually is my own home town. There are only 3 of on LT who own the book. The third member has a huge catalog of Michigan history. So that sort of explains why he has the book, and why I have the book. But it doesn't explain how/why YOU happen to own a copy. I'm just being nosy. Are you from Detroit, or do you just like obscure stuff??

Thanks,
Kathi Phillips

I'm glad you liked Castle Waiting-it is awesome-I read about it on someone's blog and picked it up.

Yes, and yes!!!

lisa carver, how to be a villain, retro hell, crackpot,

PRANKS---i know a guy who was a very active member of the Cacophony Society, he's also married to Margaret Cho!

ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS-a copy was given to me by a lad from Liverpool, who i met on a kibbutz in Israel. It still had a price sticker in pounds, and he told me that in England it is like their 'own' 'catcher in the rye. lent it to a friend in college---never got it back...

anyway, fabulous taste!!!!

hey from the grrlcomix group -- we share some excellent graphic stuff. I loved Blue -- any recs for further "grown up manga"?

enviado por deliriumslibrarian a las 4:29 pm (EST) del May 12, 2007

I see we somewhat share the same taste in books since we share 46 books. You have a great collection.

enviado por davi a las 11:14 pm (EST) del Apr 20, 2007

What an excellent collection you have! You share some of my more bizarre and obscure volumes (who would've imagined that 12 other people on librarything would own the Amok catalogue?). I may have to pick your brains.
