What is LibraryThing?

LibraryThing is a site for book lovers and LibraryThing helps you create a library-quality catalog of your books. Because everyone catalogs online, they also catalog together. LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share.

LibraryThing is VERY easy to join. All you need to do is enter a user name and a password, and you're done. Adding books to your catalog is also easy. Just enter some words from the title, the author or an ISBN. You don't have to type everything in. LibraryThing gets all the right data from Amazon.com and over 690 libraries around the world, including the Library of Congress. Just click on the book to add it to your catalog.

You can search your books, sort your books, edit book information, and apply "tags." You can rate your books and write reviews.

LibraryThing cares about books, not about SELLING books.
