But Just What Is It? LibraryThing holds about the same relation to Amazon that a brick-and-mortar library holds to your local brick-and-mortar bookstore. Amazon tries to get you to pad your shopping cart at every turn by pointing out related items, add-ons, and discounts; LibraryThing is more concerned with building a book community where people with similar tastes can connect. - David Louis Edelman's Blog It's Facebook for Book Freaks ... look out all you book freeks and fiends here it is, the site that will consume your reading hearts." - Lunch Break Matinee
