I've been a member of this site for a while and I think it fantastic. As long as you put the time in that is. However as soon as you start to see how it works then the appeal becomes clear.
You add books by typing in the ISBN number or title if the book doesn't have one. Select the image of the cover - or upload your own picture if you need to. As your collection builds take care to tag/categorize the books so they are organised neatly.
There are other details you can add and of course your review of the book.
The site then cleverly shows you who else has the same book and uses the information to suggest other books to you. You can explore the collections of other members and build up a network of friends.
There's loads to discover on the site and you can get a lot of use out of your free account. You can upgrade to a paid account to get more functions and privileges.
This is a really special site and a must for book enthusiasts.

I work for a Publishing company. Do you think it would be worth it for me to sign up? We have to send in 15 copies of each book to get reviewed. Do you know how that works? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Riane,
ReplyDeleteI'd say you should definitely sign up to LibraryThing to see how it works. I'm not sure though how the reviewing would work but they do have a pretty active community so I'm sure it would be worth asking them.
Cheers,
Ian
