Each book entered in your library has a unique book number that's assigned to it when you <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Addbooks" title="HelpThing:Addbooks">add it</a>.

Because a work is typically an amalgamation of different editions, ISBNs and publications, this link does not immediately add a book to your catalog - there's no way of knowing which edition is correct. Instead, it takes you to the <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Addbooks" title="HelpThing:Addbooks">add books page</a> and does a search on the book title, allowing you to select which version of a book you'd like to add. </p><p>If you have a book in your library, you will see a small pencil icon <a href="/index.php/File:Edit-pencil_sm.gif" class="image"><img alt="Edit-pencil sm.gif" src="/images/3/3e/Edit-pencil_sm.gif" width="15" height="15" /></a>, a small red X icon <a href="/index.php/File:Ignore_sm.gif" class="image"><img alt="Ignore sm.gif" src="/images/4/4e/Ignore_sm.gif" width="14" height="14" /></a>, and a listing of your book's title, author, and publication information. Clicking the pencil will take you to a book's <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Work/Edit" title="HelpThing:Work/Edit">edit page</a>. Clicking on the red X will bring up a dialog box, asking you to confirm that you really want to delete that book from your catalog. Clicking on the title will take you to the <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Work/Details" title="HelpThing:Work/Details">book details page</a>. </p><p>If you have more than one copy of a work in your library, you will see both (all) of them listed in this section. Clicking on the title will take you the relevant <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Work/Details" title="HelpThing:Work/Details">book details page</a>, as well as change the cover image that's displayed on the page (if your two editions have different covers). If you have inadvertently cataloged a book twice, you can use the red X to delete one of them. A listing of all of your duplicated works is available on your <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Meme_workdups" class="mw-redirect" title="HelpThing:Meme workdups">duplicates page</a> (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.librarything.com/meme_workdups.php">here</a>). </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Member_Tags">Member Tags</span></h3> <p>A miniature <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Tagcloud" title="HelpThing:Tagcloud">tag cloud</a> showing which tags are most frequently applied to this work, with their font size relative to their frequency of use.

You can change or reverse the sort by clicking on "date" or "votes". If there are more than three reviews, clicking on "show all" will expand the list within this page; alternately, clicking on <a href="/index.php/HelpThing:Work/Reviews" title="HelpThing:Work/Reviews">Member Reviews</a> in the top stats bar or the left navigation bar will take you the reviews on their own page.
