Theme From An Imaginary Library

When the wagons, leave the city, for the forests, and further on... oh, sorry, that's the theme from an imaginary WESTERN. Quite different from the Invisible Library  ( http://www.invisiblelibrary.com/ ), a reference for books which exist only in books. 

You want the catalog. There's no search engine, but the listings are arranged alphabetically in four categories: authors, titles, pseudo authors, and pseudo titles. The catalog is set up like a frame. Click the category you want and you'll get a table of book information, including author, title, pseudo-author, pseudo-title, notes, and credit. (There's also a page of  "oddities," where the author is real but the title isn't, and vice-versa.) 

I have a few quibbles about this site. The parchment background is attractive but makes the table of information a little hard to read. And a couple of authors deserve their own pages (Terry Pratchett and Stephen King.) It's a lot of fun, though, and if any librarian has a patron come in looking for "Inoffensive Reptiles of the Sto Plains" they'll know where to look.
