Dear Mr. Flanagan,

I’m so pleased to see that the idea of a catalogue of books that exist only in other books continues to spread throughout the human memepool. As you note above, Mr. Park and Mr. Stahl have created a blog containing these materials.

My first encounter with this concept, however, took the form of Mr. Brian Quinette’s catalogue, now defunct, alas. Fortunately, however, an archived copy does exist.

Mr. James Hay has also preserved Mr. Quinette’s work, and added to it himself.

There is also The Invisible Library, Live Journal Branch, created by le_trombone.

Finally, my wife Fayaway and I have created our own branch of the invisible library at Malibu Lake, CA.

Since I have not been able to include code in this comment, I’m merely point out that all of these catalogues can be found by searching for the phrase “invisible library” on the web.

Thank you for noting and preserving this highly entertaining and increasingly useful information—doubt not, o blogger, but persist!

Curiously,

Hermester Barrington,
Chief Archivist, Law Offices of Petty, Smilodon, & Ruth (ret.)
