Yep. That’s why I finally bit the bullet and use http://collectorz.com/ to keep track of all the books I own. It took forever to scan them all in, but I’ve now got a way to see what books I’m missing from my collections and haven’t bought a duplicate since.

I hate when I do that . then I look on my library web site and see if they have it already. If they don’t I donate it to them and if they do then I give it to a friend who loves to read or to the local thrift shops.

I’ve done it! I’ve also donated books and clothing, then gone in and found the same books and/or clothing, like it, and bought it before realizing it was the ones I donated.
