I do it for three reasons:
1) I've got so many (thousands), that I found I was getting some
duplicates by accident.
2) I need an inventory for insurance purposes.
3) to find others with similar interests.
I have thousands of books too, at least 400 of which are costume related.
I don't need an insurance inventory, fortunately!
I already know lots of people with similar interests, and don't have
time to keep up with them all.
With the "tags", it also helps with organization... so I can find a
particular book again! Most systems were just too cumbersome and
slow.. you have to enter ALL the info by hand.. that I kept putting it off.
Maybe I'm lucky? I already file in types/kinds, like factual
reference/sci fi.classics/ historical fiction etc., and authors and
dates, and my costume related books are in my work room, so I never
have trouble finding a book, unless I haven't put it back where it belongs.

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!)
