Tuesday Thingers: LT Merch


Today's question: LT Things- t-shirts, bags,cue cats- are you into the "stuff"? Do you use a cuecat to enter your books, or do you enter them manually? What do you think of the stuff?

My answer: I did not buy a cuecat for myself, but when my husband opened his account we did buy one and it was extremely useful for entering his large collection of science fiction and Doctor Who books. Since we've had it, I've used it occaisonally, if I have several books to enter at once for example. I think it's a cute little convenience but by no means necessary. And it doesn't work for older books that don't have barcodes or that don't have ISBN-13 barcodes. But it's just so darn adorable. I haven't purchased any other LT accessories and don't really plan to- I don't like being a walking billboard, even for LibraryThing! :-)

  12. Your husband is a Dr. Who fan! Wow! I have yet to find anyone who is a Who fan. I have been a fan for twenty-five years. Are you one or just tolerate it? I have never read the books though.

  13. Candy, I like Doctor Who but I'm not nuts about it the way he is. we have a Who pinball machine in our living room, and a huge collection of the dvds, audio adventures, books and collectibles of all kinds. i'm a fan- he's a super fan! :-)
