"I See Dead People's Books"

Description: A group for those interested and involved in entering the personal libraries of famous readers into LibraryThing as Legacy Libraries.

If you'd like to join a Legacy project already underway, please use the contact information listed here, or contact jbd1.

If you'd like to start a new Legacy project, visit the Cataloging Guide and learn how to get started. Also see the wiki page for more info. Please make sure someone hasn't already started a project for your subject before getting underway.

Questions? Comments? Additions? Contact jbd1.

NB: This is an LT standing group, so there's no need to join. Just jump right in and participate!
