I totally agree, I can't wait to see how this thing turns out.

Don't worry Aaron, I'll/we'll get all the books up in time. I have been on vacation the last week, but will be back at it on Tuesday. I'm shooting for 5-10 a week but since there are numerous Limiteds, Trades, gift editions etc. it may take a few months to have most all U.S. King books posted.
Just wondering if what you are building will be dynamic? In other words, if changes or additions are made, will they feed to the library, or will you need notice?
We would need notice. I could do it on a feed, but that poses restrictions in the format and graphics. The way I'm planning on setting it up will give us more freedom in design, I think.

The Maine Review - July 1975
I'm going to try to get a scan/photo of EVERY different U.S. King book I have.
It just takes time. I am trying mostly to do the S/L books first as they take up to 9 scan/photos per book that have to be cropped, uploaded etc. I spent about 4 hours total to do the 4 books I posted today-including the description etc.
Once I move to the trades things should move a bit quicker as each book will usually only have 3 scans.
BTW, I got a sneak at what Aaron is doing, and it is pretty awesome looking.
Also-anyone can contribute. In fact it would be great.
There are a few items I will need help on (I don't own one):
Asbestos Firestarter
Lettered Regulators
The Plant
The New Lieutenant's Rap
Lettered From a Buick 8
Lettered The Green Mile
