Make a private book (this is a beta feature)

I added the following book:
Het maanlied van de wolf
door Penina Keen Spinka
Series: Clan van de Wolf (1)

http://www.librarything.nl/work/4414448/edit/65741258

After editing the book the following text:
Make a private book (this is a beta feature) was placed under the source.

Does somebody know what this is and what I have to do?

See this thread. I think it would be wise simply to ignore it until Tim has finished testing it.

They're testing a new feature where you can make books private (before you had to either make your whole library private or public). You can see the discussion here http://www.librarything.com/topic/99361

I personally would wait to use it until they've debugged it some more.

Thanks for telling this. I had never seen it before, I thought I'd done something wrong.

Are there any plans to continue development on this feature?

Who knows? LT has a habit of having half-finished features. It's been long enough now that I'd say this one probably isn't on the radar right now... But you could always ask Tim.

Bump

Do we have this feature?

DON'T USE IT!

It may or may not hide the book from other users. It may or may not hide it from you.

It's really high time it was deleted.

Well I used it today and it didnt hide anything

>9 sydney.rigpa: It wouldn’t hide it from you. Did you ask someone else if they can see it in your catalog?
