Probably not a good time to contact you - just read Tim's tweet about your site issues (commiserations). But I've been meaning to contact you for a while. I loved Everything is Miscellaneous but especially page 44 about how great it would be if our cookbooks were searchable like Epicurious.com. My new website, www.eatyourbooks.com does exactly that - it's a searchable index of recipes in your own cookbooks by main ingredient, recipe type, ethnicity, occasion, special diet. I thought you might be interested (you can now find every broccoli recipe you have) - please don't think this is spam. You are the only person on LT I have contacted directly as I thought it would appeal to you.

Thanks for writing "Everything is miscellaneous". I really enjoyed it. I study 'information management' in Holland, Europe. Your book really opened my eyes. Thanx!

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview on the EconTalk podcast regarding _Everything is Miscellaneous_ a while back. I found the discussion very thought-provoking, and I am looking forward to reading some of your work.

I'm reading "Everything is Miscellaneous" for San Jose School of Library & Information Science Information Retrieval course, very thought provoking, refreshing, and definately my favorite textbook yet!

Just read "Everything is Miscellaneous" and wanted to say thank you for a rousing read. I am a librarian at a local college and I must say, my students caught me on more than one occasion getting very animated as I read the section on Wikipedia (curses!). Your book has inspired much talk in the library world which is never a bad thing. Cheers.
