lareinenoireA question to the flist at large--
I've been wanting to properly catalogue my books for at least several years now. Mainly because I really want to know what I have so I'll stop accidentally buying multiple copies of things I don't need (multiple copies of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Austen don't count), especially since my books are scattered in four different locations. I've been tempted by LibraryThing, but I'm a bit wary of having everything on the Internet where it could conceivably vanish.
(I'm also wary of the recommendation thing, as I spent too much money on books as it stands...::grin::)
So, to those people who use LibraryThing, is it worthwhile? Is there a way to save your catalogue to hard copy? And how do the free accounts work, as opposed to the paid accounts?
