I’ve been watching WorldCat grow, but I’m a little confused. When I fist looked, the “title” I saw was Americana, cinema and dramatic arts, cookbooks, erotica, fine, decorative and graphic arts, illustrated books, literary first editions, metaphysics and the occult, science fiction, juvenalia, investment rarities. Now it just says List #2. These are not book titles. What am I watching?

    Wheee, what fun! Right now “Psoriasis” [computer file], Singapore, 2008, is holding 1,282,034,647.

    Add a little Casey Kasem narration and this could really take off.
