Cataloging your books on LibraryThing

This blog was created to demonstrate the LibraryThing widget that appears in the left column. I am playing with an article on LibraryThing for the MBS Newsletter. The words 'my library' are a link to my LibraryThing account. Whenever you go to the Miniature Bookshelf blog, a random collection of covers and titles appears here. When you click on the link, it takes you to the rest of the collection. It is a modest collection compared to many owned by other members of the Miniature Book Society or now in university or museum libraries. The collection grows slowly and without a strong focus. That is what happens when a large part of the collection comes through gifts and trades over many years! I like miniature books about printing, printers, books and type faces. I have collected several miniature editions of 'The Night Before Christmas' or 'A Visit from St. Nicholas.'
