The point is that some of us who buy way more books than we should, have so 
many different subjects that a catalog (or a well organized library)is pretty 
much necessary.  I had all of my books except costume and cooking in one room 
before I moved.  Wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookshelves built by me and 
filled with books in different catagories.  In this place, there isn't room to 
build a library and I must get my books out of boxes.  I didn't know about 
these organizers before, but am sure as heck going to get one of them now.  I 
can catalog as I unpack and some day I might be organized (yeah, right).  
Thanks for the info!!

Could someone please explain the point of listing one's books? I'm 
afraid I don't see the point. Mine are all on shelves in my workroom. 
I know what they are, and where they are. Why would I need to list 
them? (More time I haven't got anyway!)
