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?
