... when not counting GoogleBooksearch as well as WorldCat and all
libraries in English-speaking countries.
The trouble is that to do a successful LCSH search you need to have
a valid term first and type it in correctly.
Lacking one, you might want to browse in an index tosee what's
available:
   http://www.biblio.tu-bs.de/db/lcsh/

Once you find a promising term here, the display catapults you into
Google or WorldCat right away. And yes, LibraryThing too, although with
a somewhat lower chance for success. As of yet...
