"I See Dead People's Books"

Description: A group for those interested and involved in entering the personal libraries of famous readers into LibraryThing as Legacy Libraries.

If you'd like to start a new Legacy project, visit the Cataloging Guide and learn how to get started. Also see the wiki page for more info. Please make sure someone hasn't already started a project for your subject before getting underway.
