Who are "LibraryThing Authors"?
LibraryThing Authors are members who are also published authors. The LT Author program lets readers browse the personal library of their favorite authors, and lets authors connect their readers. See a Click here about it, or visit the Click here page for more information.
I'm an author! How do I get that shiny yellow button?

A free account allows you to catalog up to 200 books. A paid account allows you to catalog any number of books. Paid personal accounts cost $10 for a year or $25 for a lifetime. (See Click here for non-personal accounts.) I conservatively predict the revenue will enable me to recline all day on an enormous pile of gold. Click here
What information do I need to give up?
None. Setting up an account requires only a user name and a password. You can edit your profile to make yours a "private" account. With a private account, nobody else can see what books you have. Click here
What else does LibraryThing do?
LibraryThing is a full-powered cataloging application, searching the Library of Congress, all five national Amazon sites, and more than 60 world libraries. You can edit your information, search and sort it, "tag" books with your own subjects, or use the Library of Congress and Dewey systems to organize your collection.
If you want it, LibraryThing is also an amazing social space, often described as "MySpace for books" or "Facebook for books." You can check out other people's libraries, see who has the most similar library to yours, swap reading suggestions and so forth. LibraryThing also makes book recommendations based on the collective intelligence of the other libraries.
