Introduction
Book Collector's Wish List allows you to easily keep track of books you desire, but don't yet own. You can add books directly to your wish list and quickly move them to your collection. You can quickly switch between your wish list and books you already own using Book collector's Collection Status filters. With our CLZ mobile apps you can also export your wish list to a mobile device.

There are two main distinctions.

Adding to your Wish List
The easiest way to add Books to your Wish List is via the Add Books Automatically screen. In the bottom right corner of the Add Automatically screen, you have two radio buttons. Use these to define whether a book will be added to your collection or to your wish list.
When you add a book to your collection and put it on your wish list, an icon will appear next to the book in your Main List as well as in the Detail Template.
