Language makeup

Only one language is counted per book, so the 'total' is the total number of books in that collection.

• en (English)
• es (Spanish)
• zh (Chinese)
• fr (French)
• de (German)
• pl (Polish)
• ru (Russian)
• ko (Korean)
• iw (Hebrew)
• hi (Hindi)

Subject

I include every classification that is used for at least 0.5% of the books. Every one of a book's classifications is counted, so the number of classifications is much higher than the number of books.

3M provides no subject information; we need to get it from OCLC.
