99 books at LibraryThing

I've cataloged 99 books. first few yesterday, all the rest today.
posted today 16 Sept at LibraryThing Blog: Keep sending suggestions, comments and criticisms. The site has come a long way since it opened less than two weeks ago, and user suggestions have been absolutely essential.
-already working on-'Power' editing, including applying tags to multiple books in one sweep. great.
Related- any plans toward these del.icio.us features? ~tag visibility and modifiability~:
» A clickable list of all your current tags is displayed on the right-hand side of your homepage, together with the number of bookmarks that have that tag.
» You can merge, rename or delete tags whenever you like. Click the "settings" tab on your homepage, and select "tags" from the "Settings" menu on the right side of your screen.

Seems like I may be missing something. having to type each tag afresh every time (w/possible mispellings), instead of selecting from a displayed list of your tags -- wouldn't others have already asked for that?
-my object(beautiful) tag won't work when clicked - problem with the parentheses?

-also, at times when the adding got stuck (there is note that the server is about to be ugraded), I added the same book more than once -- is it nontrivial to build in a "you already have that book cataloged" feature? (I dunno if del.icio.us has that -) but like when you add a duplicate to favorites or other file.
--these duplicates (even after deleting) cause the book to show up as social (cataloged by more than one person - really = cataloged more than one time

nonetheless it's a dream -!
