Thanks for sharing, made a quick look and found very interesting stuff.So trying something different for those that might be interested. Format is Excel and No it's not complete and I am still working on it. There are Errors and I have redone the format a few times so not everything filled out and I still have more to go. But for those interested I think I have about 90 percent of my library cataloged here in excel. I did this for two reason, one you can not see everything in pictures and two it well helps me from getting duplicates. I have the filters turned on so you can do some searches by authors and such. As I said there are errors but its a work in progress. Might help for some people if they want feed back on some books but I have to admit I have more books right now then I have read but may help for people doing for research.
All the best

I'm myself doing the same, making an Excel file with my books but it takes some time.No problem and your welcome, I am still adding more to the spread sheet. I will be glad when I have it up to date.

Given that your library nears the thousand in the spread sheet certainly it should has take a big amount of time. I hope they aren't many of them still out of it!
Because I'm 78 and don't even Look at most of them any more.Why do you have to get rid of most of your books amigo?
Thought I would add my small collection. Most of the book I buy have been for my father so he has the library. This is about 3/4 of the books and thousands of photos in albums and on CD. I have been getting air classic since the 70s. Once I put the books on shelves this past spring, I was surprise to see that I have more martial arts books than military. My favorite is still the first book I received from my father in the late 60s. Great Weapons if WW2. Many good b&w photos from the war.
Impressive libraryAfter a move prompted by the recovery from hurricane Katrine, my orderly and organised bookshelves in the old house have turned in to this disorganised library shared with the model building area. As you can see, finding a reference for the forum would be time consuming and take away from important model building.

Annie wouldn't have a clue where they should go.
Sign Painting,
Calligraphy,
Graphic arts,
Most over 40, some 100 years old.
Got one signed by Doolittle with a photograph.
And my wife thought I have a lot of books! Need to show her those photos.And I thought I had a lot of books!
And so speak a man of great wisdom and experience.The shelves are pine boards and periodically reinstalled turned over. Never, never use particle, or chip board shelves. They make a sudden very loud noise in the middle of the night.
