It’s finally happening, a new major version of Book Collector for Mac OS X!
Completely rewritten *from scratch*, with a faster database system,
a more Mac-like user interface and of course, many new features.

And it’s *very* close now, because development is going so smooth that we will be able to release it 3 weeks earlier than originally planned!

Current ETA of Book Collector 8 for Mac is: Tuesday March 6, 2012.

Check out this cool review of Comic Collector and CLZ Comics HD for iPad over at the GVE-Podcast.com.

“Over the years I tried many times to properly catalog my ever-growing comic book collection. Once, when there were only a few hundred, I think I had them in a notebook – problem being that I’d run out of space on a page for additional issues if it wasn’t planned right, and keeping things in numeric order was tedious. Next was a smaller version of my collection on a single sheet of paper, in Word or some word processing program, just listing title and issue number. Convenient to keep in my pocket as a “want-it-got-it” list, but impossible to keep complete or neat, and got lost along the way somewhere. Much later, I developed a spreadsheet to enter in my collection, but the shortcomings were still huge. It was unwieldy, required lots of time to manually enter the numbers (right click, insert line, grrrr…) and was a work in progress as I discovered how tough it was to categorize and then find things again. It couldn’t be carried with me or easily converted into a want list suitable for carrying. With renumbering, new volumes and multiple special editions and deluxe editions, it became evident that just issue numbers weren’t enough – and when you’ve got a collection this size, issue numbers mean increasingly less as the old brain doesn’t connect with all of them anymore. It didn’t take long before I lost interest totally.

Problems solved thanks to Collectorz. Take a peek.”

2011 was a great year for Collectorz.com:
Three big software updates for Windows, major upgrades for two of the Mac versions and continuing improvements to the “Connect” online editions.
We have made big leaps in the quality and coverage of our online databases, and of course, there was the release of a new mobile product: CLZ Barry.

Full episode lists with: titles, air dates, plots, runtimes, writers, directors, guest cast and screen grab images.

Anyway, back to Movie Collector.
