The catalog project for my dharma books is creeping forward. I passed the third shelf on the first book-case the other day. In terms of length of shelving, that is one quarter of the library, so I should be finished by the end of the year, with any luck! It looks like the [...]]]> http://chagchen.org/2009/05/26/catalogue-progress/feed/ 0 Overdue catalogue http://chagchen.org/2009/04/05/overdue-catalogue/ http://chagchen.org/2009/04/05/overdue-catalogue/#comments Sun, 05 Apr 2009 01:03:00 +0000 Alex http://alex-wilding.com/dangzang/2009/04/05/overdue-catalogue/ Over 40-plus years I’ve collected something around 400 Buddhist books of one sort or another.
