200,000,000th book catalogued on 20th Jan 2024 at about 16:40 GMT

I see that the 200th million book was catalogued a short while ago on LibraryThing. Congratulations to all users , especially Tim and the staff. A huge milestone.

Whee!

We're going to put something in SOTT about this. The number on the bottom of the page gets out of whack a little over time, because it doesn't count deletes, except when it gets recalculated every few days. So we actually hit out 200m book on Saturday, Jan 21 at 2:54pm EST.

>7 timspalding: The member who added that 200,000,000th book should get a prize. A cruise or something.🤗

>8 2wonderY: We're planning to offer LT swag. Almost as good as a cruise... ;)
