Just imagine the confusion one could go through in five years when we reach 50,000 entries... And what of different languages?
@Alex, start shopping for new servers!
I think he's right. The current list system is at the limits of its functionality. There are several authors with 40+ titles. We need a catalog system of some kind (with an index by author, subject, title).
