---Finally seem to have gotten past one particular obsession--making digital-photo covershots--at least for one particular bunch of books from the cellar--the ones that had been boxed away for at least twenty years and were located in one particular area of neglect. There are plenty more I want to get to, but at least I can slow it down a little bit now--and get to doing some things that a more responsible person than myself would not have to be told not to shirk. As it stands now Covershots 1 (on CD-R available by request) contains 1101 images. The Catalog Data CD-R has 932 and Covershots 2--in progress--1077. Covershots 2 contains some folders with catalogued books--outtakes from Catalog Data to make room for new arrivals there. I am still trying to work up a systematic approach but I can’t always keep track of every wrinkle in the fabric. I’m hoping this will give me a way to at least know what I have and where to find it--even if it’s not so great and maybe I shouldn’t be keeping it anyway. I would prefer to have it all out on open shelves rather than enclosed back inside boxes, but I’m glad I at least had the chance to check up on it again now. Maybe when I get everything under control (fat chance!) I can go back and embellish the information on the books rather than merely list the titles and where to find them.
