By the Numbers
This is a combined collection of fiction and non-fiction titles in which the primary title of each item is a number (with no additional words), using only numeric characters or “spelled out.” Many, if not most, of the titles listed here have much longer subtitles that provide a more detailed description of each book’s topic. For the sake of the theme of this booklist, titles have been reduced to just the “number.” This list was inspired by a topic thread on the Fiction_L discussion list for librarians and booksellers, but has been expanded for use here on the BookGuide web site.
All books owned by Lincoln City Libraries are hotlinked to their entries in our library catalog, so that you may check on their current availability. If you see a title on this list that is not hotlinked to our collection, please consider ordering it through our Interlibrary Loan department.
