LibraryThing Redux

Well, as promised, I tried out the LibraryThing importing tool. It is pretty slick! I had a much harder time getting Excel2007 to format the data the way I needed it. In case you want to key a bunch of ISBNs into an Excel file for importation, be sure to format the cells in the column you are going to use as TEXT. This retains the leading 0s for the old 10-digit ISBNs. I saved my file as a txt file and LibraryThing easily recognized both my 10-digit and 13-digit ISBNs. It told me it would take 30-50 minutes to locate and load the items to my library and that there were 297 others in queu ahead of me. And lo and behold, in about 45 minutes when I checked back, all my books where in my library. All in all pretty impressive!
