My application for a Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) is nearly complete for The Art of the Compromise. I am now able to add the following line to the copyright page:
Library of Congress Control Number: 2024913835
So, if you are perusing the book aisles of LOC, let me know if you see The Art nestled on the shelves. LOC receives nearly 15,000 items daily and catalogs about 10,000 of them. Of course, not all items are books. Some are maps, pamphlets, etc.
Yet, the shelves will be fairly dense as the collections span multiple buildings and warehouses throughout DC.
