I've been very lazy about getting any cataloguing done for a long time, so I was pleased to be able to get a whole box done, especially one with a lot of books. Now I'm looking forward to diving into the next box.
It looks like a lot of these are ex-library hardcovers and trade pbs. The downtown Des Moines was trying to rid itself of books. Also CDs. I went a little bit hog wild, especially on the CDs.
So here we go (I'll be adding to the list below as we go along):
