So excited about LibraryThing, but I am new and a bit overwhelmed! I have two (probably stupid) questions at the moment: 1. Where can I add the price of each book in LibraryThing and where can I gather and create a list of MARC records to be imported into LibraryThing?

There is no price field in LT. Prices are not easy to deal with. Prices can be new price, estimated value, what the member paid... They vary by time, place, condition, currency used... If you want to put in prices, probably private comment is the best place, but adding up prices that you enter at different times will not give you a value for your library.

You probably want to mark your library as being an organization.

You will probably be happier with your data if you use library sources than Amazon. Overcat is a set of library records that LT has collected.

I saw that I could sort by one field and then sort within that field by another field. Is it possible to do that on the app on my phone? If so, how??
