THE ten millionth book

At long last (and after some intensive database searching), we are pleased to present LibraryThing's ten millionth book. Drumroll please...

The city in which I love you: poems, by Li-Young Lee was added just after noon last Saturday, by user vinodv.* We're giving Vinod a lifetime account for this honor. According to his profile, Vinod is in Cambridge, MA—Tim's hometown, and just across the river from Abby. Hey, we could be hand-delivering a CueCat to go with that membership!**

The celebration continues though—get your entries in for the biggest baddest book pile bonanza ever.

*This was also apparently the very first book Vindod added to his catalog. Quel distinction!
**Only half joking, I think.

Thanks for the lifetime account! It's such a surprise. The ten millionth book also happens to be a birthday gift from my girlfriend -- which is a pleasant coincidence.

What a wonderful book to have as your ten millionth. It is an incredibly lovely book of poems and perhaps by featuring it here, more people will have a look. It's one of the favorites of my library!
