At the moment I can go to a tag page and see all the books with a particular tag, with little green ticks by those I have in my library.
I think it would be useful to have a "show only those I do not have" option. This would help users identify books they may wish to acquire.

I like this idea

>3 Crypto-Willobie: Yes, but it would be far more readable to only list those.

I suppose if someone is looking at an obscure tag with limited numbers of books, where you have more than half those listed, I can see this as helpful.
Some of the larger tags I'm not sure it would benefit. (I'm thinking like science fiction, fantasy, and fiction tags when I say large ones.)

>5 gilroy: A case of particular interest to me would be https://www.librarything.com/tag/Lloyd+George
I have 183 books I have tagged Lloyd George. I would like to see the books which I haven' got but which other users have tagged Lloyd George, in order to help me plan further purchases.
At the moment that means going through ten pages spotting which ones haven't got the tick. It's do-able, but a pain.

If anything is done about this I think we should have the ability to cycle between three options:
all books with this tag
my books with this tag
books with this tag that I haven't entered
I have often wanted the second possibility. On large tags it is a lot of work to go through all the pages, and the pages only include the top 1000 works, so the more interesting cases may be missing.

>7 MarthaJeanne: You can see "my books with this tag" by clicking on the tag on one of your own books, but that said I do like your cycling suggestion.
9MarthaJeanne
>8 DuncanHill: That gives me the books I have given that tag to, not the books I own that others have tagged. That's a big difference.

>9 MarthaJeanne: Ah I see what you mean, yes that would be good!

You can get a list of your books others have given a particular tag by clicking on that tag in your tag mirror.

It's moved since it was introduced, but I'm glad it's been retained despite the processing load it imparted (and was withdrawn for a while).
