Looking for books?

1 February 2006

Look no further!
Of course, that doesn’t make sense – I don’t have the books in this entry, after all. But I do have links to places for you to search for them books from.
Despite the really bad English in that sentence.
There’s the Library of Congress, of course, but in reality, when looking for a book, [...]
