That's cool. I thought it was only for libraries, at least at one point a while ago. I've bookmarked it. There is one minor flaw, at least if one lives in a big city. It gives the library system, for example the Los Angeles Public Library was number 8, because of where the central library is; other town libraries closer were listed first. But once one knows that one's library system has the book, one can go to its catalog and find the branch that has it. Thanks, Dave.
