To show off singletons you may want to use the tag created by Tim Spalding: I have it and you don't

The apostrophe seems to cause some problems, though... You can look up the tag info but when you click "See all works" the link cuts off the apostrophe and subsequent t.

Why not tag them "Singleton Showcase"? (That's what I'm doing. If there's an overwhelming outcry, I can change them as a group.)
Edited to add: link to the tag "Singleton Showcase", in case anyone wants to take a look.

Taking AnnaClaire's suggestion, I went through and marked up my singletons with the helpful Singleton Showcase tag. I've got eight of them, which since I only have about 65 books up yet tells me that I have very refined tastes, or I really need to get out more, or something....
No fewer than three of them are by an American novelist named C. W. Smith. One of the local libraries has several of his books, and they do circulate, so it seems like an odd coincidence that nobody else here has any of them -- though now I notice that a couple of his other books, which I don't have, are showing up.
The best of my singletons is a 1925 biography of the composer Robert Schumann by Frederick Niecks. The classical music field contains a phenomenal amount of bad writing (I don't know why that should be so, but it is), so I was happy to stumble on this obscure but elegant volume.

I have started to tag my singletons as "Singleton Showcase" as well. Some of the books are art books or catalogues but some are fiction. So far 20 books have been tagged.

With 900 + singletons, there is no way I am going to tag them. I am hoping with my transportation collection that enough other railfans will join LT and we can have show some commonality.

I chuckled when I saw the heading "Most often tagged Singleton Showcase".
Does the 'see all works' link for this tag work for anybody?

No, I get zero results when I click on "See all works". Maybe there are too many of them. :(

I think they should be tagged "neener neener"! Or possibly "nanny nanny boo boo". I seem to have 17 singletons, mostly professional books. Some of them I am slightly surprised to see.
