Sobre mimHI,

I have a wide variety of interests, including a passion for books and manuscripts, especially ancient ones.

I love books and collect them for both their physical qualities (binding, illustrations, printing, etc.) and for their contents (reading, information, etc.).

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy Library

My library consists of a wonderfully eclectic mix of books, manuscripts and other related items.

One part of my library is an ever-growing reference collection. Non-fiction works, many of which, relate to my various interests, hobbies and collections, though not all. Another part, represents fictional works ranging from some of the latest best-selling novels to classical authors. My library also includes a small group of rare books and manuscripts.

My LibraryThing Catalog

My LibraryThing catalog is a work in progress. I still have much cataloging to do.

I've gotten a good-bit of the easily accessible stuff entered. My next challenge is to tackle my books which have been packed away, including those cherished childhood favorites. Also, my catalog has starting to expand to include items such as records (in various formats), audio-tapes, CD's, VHS tapes, DVDs, photographic images (in multiple formats), maps and ephemera.

Having materials in various languages, especially non-English and non-Latin character items, presents its own set of cataloging challenges. Not being a linguist, can make detailed identification difficult and sometimes impossible. As these items are researched, they are being entered into the catalog. Though in some cases, the catalog descriptions are very general or limited to mostly descriptive information about the item.

Non-book items are also included in my library. These items carry the tag realia and where applicable, include a desciptive term in braces as part of item title.

Magazines, journals and similar publications are listed as "single" entries with the run dates and volume ranges noted.

My catalog focuses mainly on "books" which I own and are part of my library. It does not inclued "Wish List" or "Borrowed" books.

Collections and Tags

Collections are still being refined and revised. They are
currently organized into descriptive and subjective categories or groupings. Tags are organized similarly and are used to provide more detail.

Please Note

Have fun exploring my catalog of books.

Though, keep in mind, like many people, ones "library" tends to become almost an organic thing. Growing and expanding in many different ways over time as "books" enter it from a variety of sources. I have books in in over a dozen different languages, ancient and modern. Simply owning a book, does not necessarily mean I have read or can read it or in some cases, agree with, endorse or even have any interest in its contents or subject matter. It may simply be a book with an attractive binding or something I found in a box of books rescued from oblivion in the trash and didn't have the heart to get rid of it.

LibraryThing Default Book Covers

The selection of LibraryThing default book covers includes images of covers from four books in my library. Are you using one of them as your default book cover? Want to learn more about any of these books? They can be found listed in my LT catalog with the "LT default cover" tag. Also, each of the the book cover images shown below links to the book's details. I have included some additional information about the book and/or its binding in the Comments section.




Digital Images

A number of manuscripts and other items from my collection have been digitally imaged and are available for viewing on-line. A link in either the Review or Comments section of my LibraryThing catalog is provided for any item which has been imaged and is part of an on-line exhibit or image database.

To view an on-line exhibit of some of the ancient manuscripts and other items from my collection or to learn more about the history and archeology of books visit my Website, The Papyri Pages.
