Using LibraryThing

OK...so there I was...I had just posted my observations on LibraryThing, and went to look at my email. A friend was wondering about where he might find a certain book to borrow from someone, since he wasn't sure about paying the $75 for it (the cheapest price he found for it online). I looked at WorldCat for the title - UW Madison had it, but it was lost in 2005 and the next closest were in Illinois - but they were both checked out. Hmmmm. I then thought - hey, let's just see if anyone has it cataloged on LibraryThing! So I did. Turns out a mutual acquantance had it listed. How cool is that? :)
