1001 Books Finding Aid from LibraryThing

From LibraryThing -- 1001 Books: Finding Aid

The purpose of this guide is to help people who are trying to collect as many of the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (all editions) as possible. Many of the books from that list are out of print and can be difficult to find. The guide is chiefly aimed at finding copies in used bookstores, and it addresses the following issues:
• Books published under other titles than the one given in 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die
• Authors whose names are such that their books may not be shelved where you expect them
• Works that aren't novels and may be in a different section of the book store
• Works that may be included in collections and anthologies rather than under their own title
• Works that are actually a series that may be in multiple volumes under different titles
• Works that are part of a series that you may wish to read in full
• Works that, as far as can be determined, have never been published in English translation

Rebekah (bekalynn) | 31 comments I’m not sure where to put this but I think a list of the books written in links to the description of book would be very helpful. I see titles and then leave page to find book and read about it, often there is more than one book with same title., then have to go back to list.
I’d be happy to do it myself if no one would be over anxious about length of time it took. Also where would I post such a list if made?
