With Book Collector 8 you can now create a box set and keep the individual books as separate entries in your collection.

Here's how:

Open Book Collector and add the books from the box set to your collection.
Select the books you wish to add to the box set by holding CTRL on your keyboard then click on each book in your Main List.
Right click the selection and click Edit Multiple books, or click the menu: Edit > Edit Multiple Books

In the Edit Multiple Book Screen, click the Detail tab, enter a name for the box set then click OK.

Now, when you select a book from the box set, you see immediately that it's part of a set. You can use the Detail View, columns, or if you have a Pro license, by using Folder View.

Editing a box set

Just as you can with your individual books, you can add specific information to your box set (such as a front and back image, ISBN, price, release date, notes and more).

You can edit the box set in the Edit Lists screen.

Click: Tools > Edit Lists

Click Main > Box Set List

Double click on the name of the box set in the Edit Box set window.

Click the Covers tab and you can add a cover. On the General tab, you can add an ISBN, price, release date and much more. When done, click OK and close the Edit Box set window.
In the main view, you can see that the box set cover is displayed as an image in the Details View.
