David Harmon: I think you mean Bird's Custard powder- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird's_Custard
Its advantage, according to my wife, is that it only takes one pot.

I'm about to start sewing a grand assiette arming doublet. Usually I melt and hammer metal.

In hopes of diverting the serious trend this thread had taken, I can only repeat the wise words of my grandmother:
"You can get used to anything, said the man with the shit in his hat."

I've just entered book number 1001 in my catalogue at LibraryThing (making light denizens). Still quite a ways to go, and I've now got nine boxes of discards.

I'd been wanting to catalogue my books for some time. The ML chat removed the last excuses (especially when I found out that you can copy your LT list to a palm pilot).
I'll get a lot more matches when I, too, finally get to the SF bookcase. I started with the non-fiction (the only fiction I've listed so far is my John Dickson Carr collection, which added quite a few matches). the next project is to convince my wife to start at LT, so I can stop buying her duplicate books.

I seem to have 96 unique books out of 300. I'm pretty sure that this is an overstatement.
I just checked one title reported as unique to me, and found 80 other copies. I don't think the "Work" idea is working.

re: 836 Tim(or anyone else who knows), where do you find the shared/shared feature on LT?

Library Thing is a terrible place, where I will be spending too much time:(
Because I'm starting with the non-fiction, and only have 104 books loaded so far, I have no matches with any Making Light Denizens except for fidelio.

I suspect that I'm being a bit paranoid- if someone was using the web to target thefts, I wouldn't be a high priority, and if I was targeted, my stock (usually kept more securely than my books) would be easier to fence than my books.

Ive just signed up at Library Thing, and have added a few titles. Now I'm having second thoughts, and am considering changing my LT name. The nickname I use here is the same as my business name, and my website includes my address. I own a number of valuable books (one I just added sells for up to USD1500). Do I really want to advertise my collection to thieves? It would take a smart thief (and an agile one too, to avoid the piles of books, swords, and glaive or two) , but...

Re; Library Thing, Rex Stout, etc.. Don't forget the Nero Wolfe cookbook.

Neither Scalzi nor any of the posters mention this bit, from near the end of the otherwise awful article:

And, remember, too, this nugget:

* Jay White | DumbLittleMan.com - This is going to sound VERY generic but there is no better marketing than writing great articles. I would simply use that time to write.

Did no-one RTFA?
