Interesting article by Victor Keegan in today's Guardian Technology section. He suggests that, far from the internet destroying our quaintly old-fashioned bibliocentric world, it has actually done much to proselytise the book - Amazon, Abebooks, Project Gutenberg, et al.
Highest praise is reserved for LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com), a social networking book-site. We're just beginning to explore the potential of LibraryThing (see new additions to stock in the right hand panel). We'll keep you posted.
