+# Books
+
+This is a catalog of all the books in my calibre library!
+
+If you see a title here you would like to borrow, let me know! I'd be happy to share :)
+
+## How To
+
+If you're going to explore this dataset, I recommend using the awesome csvkit.
+
+=> <https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>
+
+It will allow you to do stuff like:
+
+- see the headers: `csvcut -n books.csv`
+- and the see just the columns you want: `csvcut -c 13,4 books.csv`
+- look at some stats: `csvcut -c languages,size,formats books.csv | csvstat`
+- find the largest pdfs in the collection: `csvcut -c title_sort,formats,size books.csv | csvgrep -c formats -m pdf | csvsort -c size -r | head`
+- `csvjson books.csv | jq | whatever`
+- You can also perform actual SQL queries on it, and convert the data between csv and sqlite database: <https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/3_power_tools.html>
