Here's what Collectorz.com customers have to say about Book Collector
Jerri Lea Estep about Book Collector
May 08, 2012Love my collectorz programs. My daughterinlaw was complaining about knowing which books the oldest granddaughter has and my hubby who doesn't use but knows I have all but Comic says. "WE" have this great program and begins to explain how I scan things in and then says tell her the rest honey.
Wouldn't know what to do without it. Love you guys. Thanks for the programs.
Robert Gander about Book Collector
May 06, 2012After trying several ways and programs on cataloging my extensive book collection, I am really pleased with Collectorz.com. Thank you...thank you...thank you!
Martin Beeres about Book Collector
April 09, 2012Great software! Keeping track on your loaned books makes it very cost-effective.
No problem with recognition of dutch titles an ISBN numbers.
Edie Jardieu about Book Collector
March 05, 2012If this program keeps me from buying even ONE duplicate book (and I know it will)
it will have paid for itself! I've bought 3 books recently that turned out to be duplicates of
current holdings---they keep changing the covers and it messes me up!! ;-)
Steve Copeland about Book Collector
February 29, 2012I like the hard work you guys put in to build the best book collector's organizing set of tools that will enable me to do just that with all my books. I purchased all the tools but have yet to get it entirely functional because I have too many other things going on right now too. But with a little more time I will be set up.
I am anxious to discover just how large my personal collection is (my guess is about 2,000 books), to have it organized, an to enjoy the full functionality of it all. I will be happy to share before and after photos of my current mess versus my organized structure that is one of my primary projects now, including a new custom build home library with floor to ceiling bookcases in my office.
Thanks to all you folks in Amsterdam, Steve from Oklahoma City
Marcel Ponton about Book Collector
January 23, 2012I absolutely love the app and the program. I love the price even more.
I have always dreamed about creating a list of my extensive book collection (5,000 +), by inputting the ISBNs. However, all the products out there are ridiculously expensive or are not really Mac OSX compatible.
I love the fact that I can use my iPhone as the scanner and keep a list of my library in an accessible format. This is something I've been waiting since I started graduate school.
Congratulations on a great product.
Birger Johansson about Book Collector
January 17, 2012I have just completed the recording of my books - 900 titles with help of your software.
Thanks for a good software.
Dan Curnutt about Book Collector
December 24, 2011I was looking for some software that would help me to take my library and get it under control. A fellow Pastor told me that he used Book Collector on his PC and thought it amazing.
I purchased a copy on that recommendation and started to use it. I have to admit that at first it was confusing and a bit overwhelming and the instructions were not the best.
BUT, this product is fantastic. It does everything I wanted. It takes the ISBN number and looks up the book in the CLZ Book Database, it then downloads copy of the cover and all of the pertinent information as well as a summary of the book to your database.
You then input your library information as well as your own notes, annotations, plots, characters, key words, etc. It also asks you for the information of your purchase date, price, where you bought it, etc.
I also allows you to choose categories (and add your own) so that future searches can be done quickly and easily.
It also has a lending tool. You can loan a book to someone and mark that book as "lent out" and it will track the date you loaned it, to whom, where it is and if you want, remind you to seek the return of it after a period of time. Now I won't wonder what I did with a book.
It also allows you to track in your own library where you have the book, in other words, at home, in the office, at school, etc. So, if you take it elsewhere you can mark that and when you look for the book you at least know where you last took it.
BUT THE BEST FEATURE is the scanner tool that you can download for your iPhone or iPod touch. The CLZ Buddy scanner turns your iPhone into a scanner that will pick up the ISBN bar code off your books and automatically fill it into the add feature of the software on your computer. It will allow you to add multiple ISBN's to the que before you search the database. Then you touch "search" and it finds all the info and displays it. You then touch "Add" and all the books are added to your software. It is amazingly simple.
Finally, if you want you can get the mobile app for your iPad or iPhone or iPod touch and download your library database from your computer (via WiFi) to your other device. So, if you are at a meeting and want to reference one of your books, just look it up. If someone asks if you have a book, check whether you do. Or if you are out at Barnes and Noble and see a book but can't remember (happens to all of us) if you already own it, just pull out your iPhone or iPad and check to see if you already own it. No more double purchases.
Well, enough said. This software is amazing. I don't know how I ever got along without it.
Enjoy! It is worth the price.
Michael F Zabkar about Book Collector
December 23, 2011Using CLZ Barry and Book Collector to catalog my collection of game books.
It's working perfectly. Thanks!
Micheal R. Dickerson about Book Collector
December 10, 2011Love this software. I have a library with several hundred books and was able to add a hundred in just a few minutes. There were a few were the ISBN and book did not match but over it did an excellent job.
Bianca Morandi about Book Collector
December 06, 2011Bought Barry for Book Collectorz.
I have to say that with my Samsung Galaxy Note (Android Gingerbread) book info literally flies to my Mac. It scans and reads book information so fast (and puts it on my Mac) that I hardly have time to put them all in!
Really well spent money.
Jennifer Petersen about Book Collector
December 01, 2011How to catalogue your library ....
You may think that I joke about my tea library, collectable books and shelf-improvement library - I kid you not - and I cannot bear to part with a book.
So! Collectorz.com to the rescue. It's terrific and they offer a scanner and app.
Jody Arthur about Book Collector
November 26, 2011I don't usually take the time to leave testimonials. But i had a really frustrating situation with a large retailer today and it occured to me that in that day and age, we should be grateful for the little guys - the entrepreneurs that have the passion and pride to make a really great product.
So, hats off to Collectorz!!!
Your book collectorz software combined with the CLZ Barry app has far exceeded my expectations and has saved me many many hours of valuable time. It is a pleasure to use your product!
Loes van der Heijden about Book Collector
September 25, 2011I did it almost twice now: I bought a book that I already have! So I have been searching for a program where I could scan the ISBN bar codes of all my books and let those go into a database. Well, I found the perfect program: Book Collector from Collectorz.com.
I bought the small laser scanner with it and started scanning the first shelf.
This is so much fun. Although the program doesn't find all my books (some of my quilt books are really old and not in print anymore and some front covers are missing), it is still worthwhile to get it all organized.
There's still a lot to be scanned, but once that is done, I can take the database with me and prevent that I buy the same book twice :)
LauraLee Dooley about Book Collector
August 21, 2011Spent most of the day working on building and filling bookcases with books for our "library" - enjoy using the software by Collectorz.com - great tools to catalog books and movies!
Ethan E. Harris about Book Collector
August 20, 2011I am a recently disabled Army Medic. I have some cognitive problems involving memory among other things. The VA informed me that I should look for software to increase my organization and to combat the memory loss.
I discovered a trial of your program yesterday. Awesome!
I hope this tool will help me organize my books as well as I think it will. It's easy to navigate (important for me!), it's a good memory support tool (no more lists of where I put stuff) and it had a trial (kick the tires).
I seriously love this and am going to recommend it to me Doc at the VA mental health clinic. It really is great.
Thanks for building it!
Lori Desrosiers about Book Collector
August 08, 2011LOVE this program!
A homeschoolers dream, thanks!
Jacques Caillault about Book Collector
July 17, 2011First, you should know I am a software engineer, having been in the business for nearly 30 years. I have coded more languages and environments than I care to remember! :-)
I must tell you that, when I saw the Web page advertising your Books collection database, I was enthusiastic. Here at last was what I needed to grapple with my 2,000 book library! I was not sure how well the software would work, but I took a chance and downloaded the premium version.
I cannot express adequately how literally overjoyed I am at using your software. It actually exceeds my professional expectations in every way. I found the tool intuitive to use, friendly, and IT WORKS!!!!! I am having a blast using it, and will unhesitatingly recommend it to all my friends.
Working, high-quality software is a rarity - as you must well know.
THANK YOU for deviating from the norm and producing such an exemplary product.
Deb Burton about Book Collector
May 24, 2011I just downloaded the book inventory system and the scanner. I got one of my books and scanned it! Up comes the book cover picture, a description, ISBN number. WOW!
The kids are going to help me scan books intomorrow on the last day of school! WOW! This is so reasonable in price and will be so much fun. I think the kids can even scan books for check out (I have to keep reading my instructions, LOL!).
THANK YOU! I now have a way to organize my classroom books (close to 3,000 maybe?). My students are helping me clean my room and are anxious to help scan the books in! I posted on teachers.net about your product so others can have this system!
John W. Orange County CA about Book Collector
April 16, 2011Thank you for putting together an inventory program for my book collection. It has been a blessing to use.
It eliminates writing/typing down every deatail of each every book it is definately a time saver.
Debbie Beier about Book Collector
April 15, 2011Hello, my dear Collectorz friends!
I just wanted to say 'thank you' for the latest enhancement to Book Collector - I am absolutely delighted with your update to the Pseudonym function. :-) It is *perfect*.
Thank you, as always, for your wonderful software and cheerful support!
Cass Moret about Book Collector
March 31, 2011Before retiring I was involved in the development and distribution of several database applications internal to the company for which I worked. I want to congratulate the development team for producing this fine product.
I reviewed several other products online before purchasing this one and I am convinced I made the right choice. Ease of use and flexibility are two of its strongest points. The user can accept the default field values and definitions or customize for personal use.
As delivered, it is oriented toward a collection of fiction but it can be easily customized to include nonfiction or to configure for nonfiction only. The inclusion of the Library of Congress and Dewey decimal fields are particularly valuable in a nonfiction collection.
Data entry is easy. The user can key in field values manually or key in only the ISBN number and have the program automatically search for the remaining fields including a picture of the book cover.
I have had only one question and got a prompt response by e-mail but the product is so intuitive that I solved my problem before getting an answer from customer support.
All in all an excellent product with a fair price.
Andre Brockbernd about Book Collector
February 15, 2011Since a couple of days I'm working with your Book-Collector Software. You have done a great work, to make this computer program.
Every day I take 25 books of my Collection and put them in the database. I have a collection about 1,200 books about karate, martial arts, spirituality and Asian philosophy.
It is a really pleasure to work with it and it is so easy to do!
Thank you very much.
The Dokan Karate Foundation, The Netherlands
Graham Legg about Book Collector
December 25, 2010This is simply me saying thank you for producing exactly what I want to allow me catalogue my simple book collection. The software is intuitive to use and gives me all the features I need - and a ton of features I won't use but I'm sure somebody would.
I have only been using it for a couple of weeks and my main PC died so I installed the programme on my laptop. At first it wouldn't run but then I found your FAQ page and the explanation of the bkclck file and hey presto it works.
How very civilised that you appreciate that people genuinely do want and need to use your software on different machines with no malicious reasons.
Keep up the good work - Merry Christmas.
Alanda Lemings about Book Collector
December 22, 2010First let me say that I have over 2,000 books and almost 1,000 DVD's and as you can imagine it is extremely hard to keep track of everything. I was constantly buying seconds and even thirds of books and movies. I had tried my best to keep track of them by writing everything down, but inadvertently would miss some or not have the list with me when I purchased new items. Very frustrating and expensive.
I heard about your product for books on television and decided it would be worth a try to at least organize and store the information on my computer, so I purchased the Book Collector software and a CueCat scanner. I got to work and after four days had my complete library of books organized and on my computer.
I was truly surprized by how many extra copies I had (all that money wasted that could have been spent on books I didn't have). I was so impressed that I purchased the Movie Collector and in two days had all of my DVD's organized and on my computer.
I love the fact that on both programs there is the loan section so that when my family borrows movies or books I know who has them and can get them back. (And now they know its on my computer so they know I'm keeping up with it hahahaha).
I recently got the Book Collector update and can I tell you I LOVE IT. It was Wonderful!!!!! I was able to get book covers that had not been available before without having to scan the covers myself. Also I have about 300 E-Books that I wasn't able to show covers for that now I can. GREAT.
I also love the fact that I can link my E-Books to my Book Collector so that I can read them from the site if I choose. This was really helpful when my Nook crashed about a month ago and I was out of town working.
I also love the fact that it is easier to pull up individual authors and see their books even the
anthologies where they might be second, third, or sixth author. Thank You So Much....
I just purchased the iPhone App for book collector and exported my books to my iPhone and it is a great tool. Already I have had friends asking me about books I have and I don't have to say that I'll check when I get home.
Again Thanks For The Wonderful Software, I can't wait to see what comes next.
Mary Catherine Ricks about Book Collector
December 02, 2010Wow, great history summary and thanks for all the hours and persistence!
We who utilize your program are so very grateful. At this point I have over 1,200 books on metaphysics and spirituality.
Thanks to you they are conveniently on my iTouch so I can quit buying multiple copies. Once I even bought 3 of one book so I knew it was time to READ THAT BOOK!
Anyway, I'm grateful and wish you to pass that gratitude on to all the worker bees at your company. This gal really likes, uses and recommends your program.
Blessings to you all.
Ginger Mack Porter about Book Collector
November 08, 2010We have been using this program for about 6 years now. I just need to upgrade mine to the newer version. But…I can’t say enough good about it.
We actually broke down and for Christmas bought the “Books” scanner. Oh my goodness!!! I have the older version but it was awesome just picking up the book and scanning the barcode. LOL! I would then attach the scanner to my computer and download. I did only work on 2 shelves at a time in case we missed something it was easier to go back to the shelf and narrow it to the book.
We also have the movie collectorz and I have the photo program. Between the books my husband and both brought into our marriage and then starting homeschooling? I hear you…we have ummm…close to 6,000 books. We are actually working on turning the kids toy room into a library and using it as such for our little homeschool group.This has been great for tracking all of my homeschool curriculum!
I didn’t realize we had as many movies as we did until we started scanning. We still had walls of VHS when got the Collectorz program….We ended up 2000 videos/dvds. We have since gotten rid of alot of those…=)
This program is great. I have no connection to the company accept as a purchaser and someone who has used it and swears by it! I am a photographer on the side and love the photo program.
Yes…when a friend wants to “Borrow” a book…you can log it in. I sent a friend of mine (as a joke) a reminder that her books were coming due…LOL. I don’t worry about loaning a book out anymore and forgetting who I loaned it too. My friends all understand and agree…so they sign the card.
Anyway…I love it and it is well worth the money.
Gary Thorne about Book Collector
September 25, 2010I just finished cataloging about 50 books. It was fast and easy with the scanner.
I still have two big boxes of books to catalog but with the scanner working it won't take long.
Julia Harris about Book Collector
September 15, 2010On a happy note, I now have four of your products, Book Collector (PC and iPhone) and Movie Collector (PC and iPhone), and I love them all, soooo convenient!!
I was at the bookstore with my grandmother and she wasn't sure if we had a certain book already, I whipped out my iPhone and answered her question, even the staff were impressed!!
Greg Carriveau about Book Collector
September 08, 2010By the way, I do want to say that in the very short time I have had it, I am absolutely LOVING(!!!) the program! I think it is the most fantastic piece of cataloging software on the market!
It is incredibly easy to use, versatile, intuitive, & adaptable to the user.
I have already entered in half my collection (over 1K books), have
spent oodles of time [easily] configuring the program to my needs, and
can't wait to get the rest of my books into it and tinker with it some
more!!
Thanks again for making my book-life hassle free!!
Happily, one satisified book & catalog geek!
Veronica Andree about Book Collector
September 08, 2010Just upgraded. LOVE it.
The ability to rate the books without going into edit mode.... a kiss to the designer who thought of that.
Also love the book cover finder....no more hours searching manually! 27 book covers found in 20 minutes. The designer of the book cover search gets a kiss from me as well.
Best upgrade I have ever purchased. You guys have really delivered. THANKS!!
Barbara Smith about Book Collector
August 20, 2010I have only had the software for a couple of weeks, but am up to 1315 books, with two bookcases of 6 shelves each still to go. Not counting a handful in storage. Most are hardcover non-fiction - history, science, philosophy, photography.
While scanning I discovered a bunch of books I haven't read (very excited about that - new books and no cash output!) and maybe a dozen of duplicates. I love that this is in my iphone so I can buy new books without worrying about duplicate buying (nast trick of publishers to change the covers and suck me into a purchase ~LL). My friends who often get my dups are a bit unhappy that I have found a way to avoid that problem, but I am excited about the sense of order.
Now I have to sort/organize all my books so I can actually find something. I have a bunch of vacation days to take so I may dedicate a couple of days to that project.
Thank you Collectorz for such a great product! I also have the Movie Collector (thanks to the special prices you offered recently!) and also found dups! But I feel better about buying a movie without fear of wasting money on a duplicate purchase. I am spreading the news about your products to everyone who will listen.
Collectorz rocks!
Steve Wiese about Book Collector
August 13, 2010I found your site when I was surfing the web trying to find a good template or sample database to use to catalog my books. Yours sounded so much better than anything I had found I had to download and try the trial version.
After only using it for about 30 minutes I knew this was the one for me and purchased the Pro version.
In only three days (about 2 1/2 hours each) I have already put about a third of my collection (250+) in. Have had only a handful not found in the automatic search and I found those by using author/title search.
I love the ease of use!
I was losing control of knowing what I had and purchasing duplicates but no more. I love the fact I can put them all in so I have control back and then go back and add more detail if I want as time permits.
Rest assured your software will be the first I recommend to anybody I know that is looking for something to handle a collection.
Sophia Phillips about Book Collector
June 29, 2010My boyfriend got me the Collectorz Books as a birthday gift. I wanted to let you know that I love this software.
I'm a huge reader and I had been looking for something to categorize and keep up with my collection
and I stumbled across this one day and I'm happy I did. I did get the app also!
I have an iPhone so this was the best thing to take with me when I'm out shopping for books.
I told one of my colleagues at work about this collection because he has a ton of movies and he purchased the Collectorz Movies and he loves it.
Thank you all for creating such wonderful software that I've been looking for!
Sarah Kennedy about Book Collector
May 29, 2010Got the program about 2 months ago, but just now sitting down to catalog all my books.
The last count in approximately 2003 was at over 250, and after working for 2 years at Books-A-Million, I can only imagine it has nearly doubled.
Thanks for the software!
Natalie Cox-Barglowski about Book Collector
May 28, 2010I really love this program for my class library. I teach 4th grade (9 & 10 year olds). The price is great (especially the deals) and affordable on a teacher's salary.
It is easy to use and can do so much. It's easy to customize.
...I've told all our teachers about it! I also got the Movie Collector for my mom for Christmas (again thanks for having the special deals).
Thank you for all the hard work you do to keep the quality up.
Susan E. Rubinsky about Book Collector
April 29, 2010I have been using the book program for over a year. I have logged over 1,100 books.
It has helped me keep track of books lent out to friends and has prevented duplicate purchases.
Diane Parks about Book Collector
April 25, 2010I do not have any question or problem because your software is so amazing and easy to install and use.
I've been delighted with it and how easy it is to export my collect to my iPhone.
I've added owners and locations so I can always tell where the books are or where they need to be returned.
I could not be happier with my purchase! Thanks for developing such a terrific product.
Lea-Anne Leavens about Book Collector
April 22, 2010I looooove Book Collectorz and Movie Collectorz - I have over 900 books logged so far - more to go; and over 300 movies - a small collection but still great to have them catalogued.
Thanks for everything.
Ann'a Youngs Zimmer about Book Collector
April 02, 2010If you haven't heard of this software it's great. I have my entire library of 1,000 plus books and all our DVDs cataloged. It uploads to my iPhone, so no more buying duplicate books or DVDs.
Not to mention, that I now have a record of everything in case of a house fire. The best part is you just scan the bar code and it pulls in all the information from the internet.
Linda Koch about Book Collector
March 31, 2010Love Book Collector and Movie Collector.
Not only do these programs keep my collections organized, I can keep track of who I loan something out to. Wonderful programs!
Lorrita Bos about Book Collector
March 30, 2010So glad I found Collectorz. It's so easy to catalogue my books and movies.
Now I want an iPhone just so I can use your apps in a mobile capacity! You're awesome!
AnneMarie Cox about Book Collector
March 30, 2010I love your Book Collector!!!!!!
In my one bedroom apartment I have 8 1/2 bookshelves, a book library cart and paperbacks in boxes under the bed. I now know exactly what is in there.
Finally a program that lets me add ALL the information I need to know.
Mary Chester about Book Collector
March 29, 2010I use Collectorz for all my Quilting books. I have a huge library full and this sure saves me from buying duplicates! (Yes, us quilters tend to do that!)
Terri Adam about Book Collector
March 29, 2010This is one of the best programs around! I absolutely love the iPhone app.
Since I've scanned my collection in, I haven't bought a single duplicate! Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this!
Dave Cattoi about Book Collector
March 20, 2010Everyone who collects books should have Book Collector and the iPhone app. I get a lot of positive
comments from other customers in used book stores when I pull out my phone and start checking the list of books.
Before getting my iphone I would print out the list and take it with me when shopping for books.
Cumbersome is the word that comes to mind.
I visit 3 used bookstores every month. I buy about 12 books a month so it is nice to have the phone app with me.
Thanks for the quick response to my question...I appreciate that as well. I got your response in far less than 24 hours and on weekend!!
Nice.
Ready Snodgrass about Book Collector
January 01, 2010I love your product.
I have been collecting books since 1960. I hate to get rid of any of them. I have over 2,000 fiction books, several hundred cookbooks, and about that in non-fiction.
I started with your program shortly after it came out because I was looking for a replacement for a program I had that wasn't very efficient. I haven't thought of looking for a different one since.
Your developers are always thinking of things that would never occur to me but are great additions. And your support is amazing.
I can't thank you enough.
Merry Schiff about Book Collector
October 25, 2009Thank you so much for wonderful products and the fun it is using them. I am loving the Opticon scanner. And now have an excuse to purchase more books.
I am nearly 70, have been in the tech field forever (before women were accepted) and can honestly tell you that there are not companies out there like yours.
You are unique and I promise to get the word out.
I have referred many people already. I am sending your site to some of the journalists in the US. They need to know about you. I did it years ago. Now it is all even better.
Sheridan Day about Book Collector
September 13, 2009I just bought Book Collector is it is PERFECT! I'd been searching for a couple of weeks for a good program that does everything this does.
It took 5 minutes to input what took me an hour in Excel! After 4 hours, I had almost 400 books input!
Thank you so much!
Teresa Z. about Book Collector
August 06, 2009I have to tell you that I am absolutely THRILLED with my Book Collector!!
I have had nothing but fun scanning in my books!!
I went all around the house, picking up every book I found and scanning it. Then I went into the guest room where I have three floor to ceiling bookcases completely full of books. I've managed to get about seven shelves scanned so far and would have them all done if I had the time, but I'm just doing it when I have the free time.
I just love my Book Collector and have told everyone I know about it, including a reading group on Yahoo. From the comments I've received, you'll probably be getting more orders for it.
Thanks so much for coming up with a program that is truly user friendly and organizes books quickly and efficiently but is so fun to use!!
Michael Pratt about Book Collector
June 22, 2009I have been delighted with the program...
I tried to do this job some years ago, but gave up because of all the typing required.
With your program I did 500+ books in one morning.
Michelle Gonzales about Book Collector
June 19, 2009I've never wanted to write to a company thanking them for their product before (although I've been known to write a complaint or two!), but I'm so impressed with BOOK COLLECTOR that I had to do it!
Before discovering this program, I'd been toying with the idea of creating an Access database for my 1,200+ library of books, but I couldn't keep it simple enough to actually get started. I wanted
cross-references, AND lots of categories and sub-categories, AND a method for keeping track of each book's location, AND a way to record my own synopses and notes, AND. . .well, I wanted it all.
The whole thing just seemed too much like work, so I gave up and did a google search for book inventories, and (gasp!) there you were!
I browsed through the many screenshots, read the FAQ's and testimonials, and I couldn't believe it!
It was as if you'd been reading my mind!
What impressed me even more was the fact that I used the support link to email a question about the program, and I got a super-fast response. I wasn't even a customer yet, but you took the time to answer me right away. That's an awfully good indication of the kind of support I'd enjoy once I actually purchased BOOK COLLECTOR.
So that's what I did, and now I'm hooked for life!
Not only is BOOK COLLECTOR exactly what I wanted (and then some), but it's fast, reliable, easy to use and (WOW!) stable. Ordinarily, I tend to lose interest in the repetitive process of entering information, but this program is actually fun to use!
In fact, I keep discovering more great features - like the ability to enter the websites for authors, publishers and so forth, and have an active, underlined hyperlink with each of their books. This is something I never would've thought to include in the database I was trying to plan! And that's
just the most RECENT feature I've gotten excited about!
I'm over a quarter of the way through entering my books in BOOK COLLECTOR now, and even though my collections of DVD's and music CD's aren't nearly as large as my library of books, you can count on the fact that I'll be buying MUSIC COLLECTOR and MOVIE COLLECTOR in the
near future.
Also, I have a large collection of stones and crystals, and while browsing your FAQ's, I got the idea to try out PHOTO COLLECTOR for keeping track of them. So, that another one of your apps I'll be needing! I simply cannot get over the versatility of these amazing programs! They're worth every penny!
So, please accept my heartfelt thanks, and forgive me for using this support link to send this to you. - I know I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I couldn't find another email address to use, and I simply HAD to tell you how happy I am with BOOK COLLECTOR!
THANK YOU!!!
Charlie Newkirk about Book Collector
June 18, 2009Just finished entering my 2,400 books, cleaning up the entries, adding series, etc. and it was well worth the time.
Now I can easiy find which books I'm missing and never end up buying a book twice because I had to guess. :-)
Pays for itself in that respect.
Jerry Bobo about Book Collector
June 11, 2009Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how great the update to Book Collector is.
Literally, one of my "to-do" tasks today was to email you and beg for an iPhone 3G app of Book Collector. To my utter astonishment, when I opened up the program today to add a few new books, I found that there was an update. Not only that, but an iPhone app was also available!
Ahhhhhh ... get out of my head Collectorz.com!
The iPhone app is superb! I purchased it immediately, imported my database and browsed through it. 5-star app! I left a review for you at the app store as well.
Just another reason I am beyond happy with my purchases Book Collector software! Truly the best in the business!

June 08, 2009Just what I have been waiting for.
Successfully imported over 3400 titles from my collection.
Well done.
Thomas Cole about Book Collector
June 04, 2009By the way, I am a serious collector of Hugh Lofting's original Doctor Dolittle books and Tolkien's works. I looked at several software apps before choosing Book Collector.
It was a very carefully selected app by a serious collector.
I would recommend this excellent application to anyone who collects books and needs the ability to retrieve pertinent information easily and quickly.
I prowl the internet every day for the books I want and need my info at my fingertips.
Once again, thank you.
Janet Agney about Book Collector
May 21, 2009I started using Book Collector in 2003. Even then, it was the best product available for my needs - to record the books I have read. It is a great tool to take with you to the book store or library. Last week I decided it was time to upgrade. I am thrilled with the improvements, especially with the "Add book automatically" feature. With simply an ISBN, all the book's information is loaded from the internet.
But even more impressive than great software at a good price, is the service delivered.
I am ecstatic.
Ellen Alquist about Book Collector
May 05, 2009Wow! You are fabulous, amazing, cheerful, helpful and a grand problem solver! It worked and I am now going to spend the day cataloging my vast book collection. Thanks!
I will go out and buy some tulips to remind me of you. That is no small feat in Saudi Arabia!
--45 minutes later...--
I have just finished
scanning 150 books and was giggling the whole time. What an amazing product.
Perhaps I should have been a librarian rather than an educator!
Thanks again!
Sally Boling about Book Collector
April 30, 2009Thanks for the GREAT products!
I have the trial on both the movie and book and LOVE them! I have tried BUNCHES of free database programs for my collections and although some were fairly good, NONE of them has the ease of use AND the LOADS of OPTIONS of changing fields and field names.
Some other programs ARE able to change fields, but NOT with as many choices as you have and some won't let you NOT use certain default fields.
Your programs are VERY user-friendly!
Again, thank you for such cool and easy to use programs.
Rita Wood about Book Collector
April 19, 2009What a great company you are and I do love your software - it is the best book collection software there is out there and believe me I searched through all of them until I found this one.
Anyone who collects books or has a large library (or small) should have this software - honestly there is none better.
Patti Anderson about Book Collector
March 31, 2009I read the email newsletter and was nice to hear about what you are doing.
We had over 1,600 books entered in 4 days of daughter's visit. She flew in from Dallas, TX to WI to help her dad get started on entering his books - we have a loooong way to go but I am able to
enter and use the program after a little coaching from her.
Great product and easy to use once you know the 'lingo' and what to look for - we have books off the floor now and in bags waiting for space on the shelves - but nothing can come into the library until it is logged in - daughter's rule!
Thanks again.
Sandra Perdue about Book Collector
March 29, 2009I downloaded and purchased your book software of Collectorz. This software is totally amazing.
I am very proud of how it works and it is the best software I have ever downloaded on the internet.
I loaded over 1,000 books manually into the program in less than 8 hours and I was amazed. So amazed I am recommending the software to all my collector buddies.
Jerry Bobo about Book Collector
March 24, 2009I purchased the full version (pro version) of the Book Collector software from you about a month ago. I absolutely love it!
It is almost as if you designed the software with me solely in mind.
Jacqui McCloy Pell about Book Collector
March 20, 2009You guys are amazing! Not only do I love your programs, I think I love you, too (joke).
Thank you very much. I don't know another company that would be this good to their customers. I recommend your Book Collector to everyone I know who has a number of books...
Arlene Gavritsas about Book Collector
February 27, 2009I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the new changes in version 6.1.
My CueCat, which is very finicky, as I am sure you know, works much, much better with 6.1. Also my database loads so much quicker. It took me some time to get used to the new Add screen but I like it.
I have 528 books in my database. I guess that is small compared to a store but for a personal collection it is a lot. I use my program to refer to when I want to buy something, in order to make sure I haven't got it already.
I love the ability to change the fonts, too. Now it looks the way I want it to look.
Mary Catherine Ricks about Book Collector
February 24, 2009I really love using the Book Collector program and have sent a number of customers your way, always encouraging them to buy the scanner too!
Your program is one of my most used pieces of software. And I particularily love having the ability to upload to my Ipod so I don't buy duplicates!
Josephine LeBeau about Book Collector
February 16, 2009Book Collector is an amazing program.
It is so intuitive that my 7-year-old has taken on the task of scanning in our books for our new home library. She has successfully scanned in over a hundred books this weekend and could even manually search for older books with ISBNs successfully using your interface.
Granted, she is a very bright 7 year old, but your interface and database makes it possible for her to be our chief librarian.
It is absolutely amazing what you have done with this program!
Katie Thomas about Book Collector
February 01, 2009Book Collectorz is so fantastic!
I've used it to create a library for our school. It acts as our card catalogue and it is wonderful! Its super easy for teachers to use, making finding books by subject a breeze. Its also easy to manage "checked out" books through its Loan feature. Its been quick and easy to add new books automatically or manually, and makes taking inventory a breeze.
I love that I can tag books by their topics to create easy reference themed lists for display; Poetry, Valentines Day, Feelings, ABCs, . . . . I am by no means a computer whiz, knowing only the "basics" on my Mac, but this program was easy to learn, modify for our needs, and teach to others. Their manual and online support are thorough, quick, and strait forward enough for even me to follow.
The school administration has been so impressed with how organized and slick looking this program is. It really makes me look like I'm doing way more than I actually am : )
I love, Love, LOVE it!Now I can't wait to organize all of my books at home!

Andrew Bleil about Book Collector
January 05, 2009I have worked in the Information Technology field in various capacities for 20 years, so I know good software when I see it.
Your user interface is very intuitive and well designed.
My trial experience was a pleasure and I am looking forward to the arrival of my scanner so I can begin what previously looked like an impossible task!
John Slann about Book Collector
December 18, 2008I would like to thank you for two things; first, a first class piece of software and second, for the way in which you handle the updates.
Buying your program for managing my book collection was one of my best buys.
Vicki Ruzicka about Book Collector
December 03, 2008The overall experience is simply too good to be true.
Last night, though I was under the weather with a sinus infection, I scanned another section of books from my library, came upstairs to the PC and unloaded all the info from my scanner into the book list I'm building. It's so easy even a sick person can do it!
My plan is to print Dewey labels for each book and organize accordingly. Any bibliophile loves to putter away time with his books, but Book Collector gives you more tools to putter with.
Someone will say to me, "Say, do you have something on acid rain?" With 2,000+ books, I've finally lost control of having each book at my fingertips. I can no longer retrieve its location from memory... Book Collector makes finding the book a fun process. A few clicks and it gives me Title, Author, Subject(s), and Dewey number.
Since everything is shelved by Dewey number, how easy is that?!
I LOVE this product... it includes absolutely everything a bibliophile could want.
Angie Biscoe about Book Collector
December 01, 2008Just a quick email to say how pleased I am with the Music & Book Collector programmes that I recently purchased ( will buy the Movie one soon).
I had been using a different music catalogue programme but was not happy with it and ended up not doing anything to it, user friendly it was not.
The main reason I am so pleased is that I has already purchased a cue cat scanner earlier this year for cataloguing my books on an American website, but now I can keep it all in-house.
Once again thanks from a happy cataloguer.
Erez Shapira about Book Collector
November 25, 2008Please allow me to say how much I enjoy your Book Collector application!
It made the much needed difference in how I organize my library. not only that, but now I can periodically export my DB to a CSV file, which I carry with me around on my Windows Mobile PDA - hurray, no more double purchases.
Linda DeBauge about Book Collector
October 30, 2008I love this application!!
I've been able to catalog my books which number close to 2000 with no trouble and no headaches. I was able to get a selected group ready for sale and listed on a website so easily it was kinda scary.
The person who came up with this is a friggin genius and obviously had a collection of their own they struggled with.
Well done!
Patrick Roberts about Book Collector
October 17, 2008I have tried two other book collecting software solutions and Collectorz.com is so far advanced it doesn't warrant comparison. It has simply revolutionised book collecting with its tools and display capabilities.
As any modern book collector knows the dust wrapper is a key part of collecting and the ability to download, scan & edit then display dust wrappers is almost as evocative as handling the books.
I have printed the details of different genres of my collection for friends, they then have a reference document with a dust wrapper, synopsis, ISBN and publisher so that they can build their own collection.
H Adams about Book Collector
October 17, 2008I have been searching for a broad and diversified book cataloguing program, at one time beginning to design my own, but think you have come up with everything I am needing to include.
An academic colleague referred me to you - oh happy day!
Ann McEvoy about Book Collector
September 16, 2008We love our software and have over 7000 books loaded into the system and it is networked into the classrooms. It is easy for the students from grades 1-12 to locate the books they need. Thanks.
Linda Flavin about Book Collector
September 09, 2008I want to say how much I like Book Collector. My husband and I are both librarians (I worked as a cataloger for over 20 years) and we're thrilled to finally get a handle on our personal collections.
Miranda Miles about Book Collector
September 03, 2008Thank you for a good program, affordable and extremely well designed. Despite my moving-about problem, the program seems to cover any contingency anyone wanting such a program would need. Thank you !
Charles Packard about Book Collector
July 28, 2008I'm a pastor and have used Book Collector for years for my theological library. I also get a number of magazines and rather than keep the whole magazine I clip articles and then forget that I even have them.
I've now solved the mess of boxes of uncategorized clippings by printing a simple sequential numeric label and assigned it to the printed article or web clipping. Then into a three ring binders for shelf storage go the sequentially numbered articles and I use Book Collector to categorize and locate the searched-for article(s) for me. Not as slick as populating the database via a book ISBN look-up, but still extremely efficient. Thanks.
Helen Murrell about Book Collector
July 28, 2008I love my book collector software. It allows me to quickly check to see if I already own a book or need to purchase it. It has paid for itself.
I also like to be able to track a book if it has been loaned to a friend or if it is in use. It has saved a lot of time.
Doug Hartshorn about Book Collector
July 16, 2008I purchased Book Collector Pro and am very happy with the software. In fact I'm surprised that you don't charge more that you do for such a great product.
Having programmed in D-Base (as well as other programming languages) I can appreciate the effort that goes in to analyzing and perfecting a database such as this. I am now retired (71 yrs old) and glad not to be constantly thinking about that last tweak of the program I'm working on, and the deadline that's fast approaching.
Patrick W about Book Collector
July 03, 2008Book Collector is a great product. I've put over 3500 books into it over the last 4 days. I have primarily used the scanner and ISBN codes.
I hope to use Book Collector to understand my library better, control further book buys, and record the collection for insurance.
Patrick W
Eve Brackenbury about Book Collector
July 01, 2008I manage an extensive home library and now a small used bookstore in a consignment shop in my small hometown. Many of the books in my store are exchanged and borrowed, sold and repurchased.
I really love my Collectorz program, especially when I get in new books, just scan and load!
Pierre Handl about Book Collector
June 14, 2008I just want to say that your software with the upscale scanner has worked and performed as advertised. So far I have catalogued over 550 books effortlessly. Your system is worth the price several time over. Great job!
Joseph Cocucci about Book Collector
June 07, 2008I recently found out that a friend of mine also uses Book Collector. He told me that yours is the best product he found to do this. I told him that this is true, but that your service is also what sets you heads-and-tails above any other company with whom I've dealt. You're the best! Joseph
Mary-Ruth Flores about Book Collector
June 02, 2008I am librarian for The Greater San Antonio Quilt Guild (1300 books with 250 that need to be added) and for The San Antonio Polymer Clay Guild (78 books) and my own library (350 and still adding) so I am becoming very familiar with it.
I just love the wireless barcode reader!!!! I also really like your quick response to questions! Your customer service is just great! Mary-Ruth Flores
Micheil-Ann Gill about Book Collector
May 26, 2008I really love this program! I've tried several software products and then tried creating my own database, but nothing worked the way I wanted. This program does! And it's fun to use.
Ron Chiodo about Book Collector
December 28, 2007I downloaded the trial, then purchased after 15 minutes of testing. This is fabulous software ! It solved a big problem: I have and elderly mom. We have been buying books for her to read and she now has hundreds she has gone through. We cannot remember what we have purchased or what she likes, so she used to put a post it note inside the cover for reference.
This software solves all the problems. there is a reference column already set of any conceivable attribute of a book, and any note I might want to make. It is simple and it works beautifully. You've given me a very merry Christmas. Thank you!
Gordon Whiteside about Book Collector
November 13, 2007I have trialled your book collector pkg for a day & purchased it a moment ago. After developing several of my own databases over a number of years, I got tired of s/w upgrade needs & my own changing needs in content.
I have been looking for a robust, flexible package that does as much of the work for me as possible. As well, the look & feel needed to be what I wanted to view. I sometimes loan books and like to record special notes about the book or the author that are helpful to the reader. Your product, Book Collector is the only one that does it all! Very Impressed!
Mahlon Christensen about Book Collector
October 02, 2007Book Collector is the best tool of it's type on the market, not to mention the easiest and most fun to use, and I've recommended it to several friends.
Scott Gifford about Book Collector
September 11, 2007I love you guys! FYI, we've been using Book Collector for several years now. There just isn't anything better to keep track of my wife's growing collection of 1,700 cookbooks!
E. David Gamble about Book Collector
August 24, 2007You have a great program. It gives a collector a huge amount of information and I love it that it gets plot summaries and cover art. Brilliant! It's the kind of look and feel that I would have designed if I had done it myself.
If I were just starting to catalog my book collection I would have immediately bought your software and the scanner.
Karla Marciszewski about Book Collector
May 18, 2007I am currently using Book Collector 4.8 and so far it is winning hands down over the other inventory software that I have been evaluating. I currently have approximately 5000 books in my personal library.
Christopher and Sarah Urban about Book Collector
May 07, 2007We LOVE book Collector. When we first purchased book collector (for our old computer) we did a lot of research, looking at a wide range of products out there today. We tested out a handful of them, and Book Collector was the one that best fit our needs.
We have a relatively small personal library of about 1200 books. Book Collector was an affordable way to do the most with our books. We love it's versatility and ease of use. In the time that we've had Book Collector, I don't think we've had any complaints. It has been a great product.
I've always felt like I was getting away with something when it comes to Book Collector. We've never had problems with it, it's never crashed, we've never lost data, and it doesn't freeze up.
Russel C Jerrard about Book Collector
April 20, 2007I think that Book Collector software is the most user friendly. I have tried 3 others which were not nearly as comprehensive. I also wish that all online support was as efficient as yours. Thankyou
Kevin King about Book Collector
April 13, 2007I presently have 2 of your software titles, Book Collector and Movie Collector. I am thoroughly pleased with both applications and am seriously looking at purchasing the Photo Collector application as well. I am also seriously looking at the barcode scanner.
Kenneth L. Ogle about Book Collector
April 08, 2007I'm emailing you to tell you how wonderfully USEFUL I think Book Collector is. I've already begun entering my library as well as printing neat little Dewey number labels for each book. :) The automatic web lookup function is exactly what I was looking for.
You can be assured that within the next three weeks I'll be purchasing the program. Now--if your CD library program is half as useful as Book Collector, I'll probably have to have that one, too...dang, another $30 shot...:)
Ray Kohlberg about Book Collector
April 04, 2007Book Collector is a great program. I have used it for years. I had recently bought a new computer with Vista and reloaded it. It still is great. Keep up the good work.
Carol Cimino about Book Collector
March 30, 2007I just love your software. It looks so simple, till you see the detail that's provided and the flexibility of the database. Thanks, also for how quickly you respond to customer support questions :)
Bruce Lucas about Book Collector
March 03, 2007I just purchased Book Collector Pro this morning. It is exactly the kind of tool that I have been dreaming about for years!
Since I have a large collection of pre-ISBN books, notably from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the ability to search the Library of Congress and other national libraries is especially valuable. I have struggled for years to keep an accurate catalog of my books, their values, and their conditions.
Your program will turn a tedious task into an enjoyable one. Thanks !
Andreas Küchenmeister about Book Collector
February 18, 2007After a mainboard crash I decided to buy a new computer with Vista. My "old" book-program didn't work with it, so I had to decide for a new one. I tried a few, but none was so excellent like Book collector! I can do so much with it. Thanks a lot.
Katalin Veres about Book Collector
February 14, 2007I recently finished cataloguing my books (2100 of them) and I've been recommending your software to my friends, it's great!
Bill Gridley about Book Collector
February 02, 2007I bought the Windows version of your Book Collector software about a month ago... awesome stuff! I've tried other collection management programs, but none had the features or clean interface of your Book Collector software.
It took almost no time to fill in over 400 books with covers, plots, and more. Exactly what I was looking for.
Winifred Krieger about Book Collector
January 23, 2007Love the product while still learning all the ins and outs of the program, and thanks for such wonderful customer service.
Brenda Adams about Book Collector
January 18, 2007I am, once again, very impressed. I love great software and great service. :)
Aaron Shaw about Book Collector
January 11, 2007I'm currently a student at The Citadel who is an avid reader. I had no way of cataloging my personal library before, but thanks to this user friendly software I will never buy the same book twice again. Thank you once more.
Brenda Ough about Book Collector
December 09, 2006I love the software---I have over 1000 books in my home library and would never keep them straight without Book Collector---high recommend it! Now I can enjoy the Music Collector and will put it to good use as my CD collection is also growing and getting more difficult to organize. Thanks again for your prompt attention and for the software!
Kurt Heiss about Book Collector
November 24, 2006I've owned Book Collector for about 6 months, and have finally entered my whole collection into the database (2300+ books). I'm very happy with the software (it's nearly perfect for my needs), and I'm also very happy with the regular updates/upgrades and new features.
Peter Popper about Book Collector
November 22, 2006Of all the book (library) bases I have seen recently yours is the best - I have been in this game since the 1960's and in 1973/5 set up the first library on a unix system which never had anything but an online catalogue - covered everything from ordering to loans - at 83 I cannot be bothered to write code for Windows or Microsoft ...
Jeff about Book Collector
November 05, 2006Just wanted to say what a great product! I have over a thousand books in my collection and despaired of bringing into order until now. It is quick and easy and saves me an incredible amount of time. Thanks. Jeff
James Tippins about Book Collector
October 27, 2006This software has changed my life... my 600+ books are now in order and lending has become a breeze!
Brian Morton about Book Collector
September 22, 2006I recently purchased "Book Collector" and I am really thankful and happy to have such a program. And it is so reasonably priced - well worth every penny.
I have not found anything bad about it but rather everything good. It is a joy (plus peace of mind) to add my books to the data base as I have over 5,000 books in my study library. Its great to have a detailed record instantly on hand.
I am learning new tricks and benefits every day I use it. With only about 400 books listed so far (this has taken some time) I am thinking maybe I need to invest in a scanner:-).
Derald Bunnell about Book Collector
September 19, 2006this program is like manna from heaven -- exactly what I have been searching for and then much more.
Julie Staker about Book Collector
September 19, 2006I recently purchased your book collector software and scanner. I am thrilled with both. Added almost all 740+ books I own in less than 2 days... it took longer to get them off the shelves than it did to add them...LOL
DJ about Book Collector
August 28, 2006I'm obsessed with books and admit it freely...LOL. There isn't anywhere I go that I don't have a book in hand. I keep all my books but the ones I don't like, which is few and far between.
I looked on the web and found several different programs, including this one. After researching them all I choose this one. I no longer have to worry about doing anything but enjoying my books. I love the ease of use and the fact that its made for everyone from the novice to the professional.
Thanks for the great program...I look forward to each new bell or whistle as I get to know the program. I'm seriously considering the Music Collector next! BG! Very Happy
Rebecca R., Cambridge, UK about Book Collector
August 22, 2006I am loving Book Collector and have so far put about 300 books into it in spare moments. I find it really easy to use, even for books too old to have an ISBN. I have ordered a barcode scanner, which should make things even quicker.
Patricia Dunn about Book Collector
May 22, 2006In case you don't hear it enough, the Book Collector is wonderful and the new Export ot Ipod Notes is fantastic.

April 25, 2006For the record: You have a great program - my collection contains about 2,000 books and finally some order is beginning to appear!
Manuel Castillo about Book Collector
March 14, 2006We've been using the Book collector program and so far it's been just wonderful and useful. We highly recommend this program to make a simple but at the same time detailed system of book registration.

Doug Phillips about Book Collector
February 26, 2006I greatly applaud you guys and the product:
1) great program that does it all for book collectors - easy to use - easy
to customize - complete - simply GREAT!
2) your response to my question was quick and complete.
I wish you continued success.
Cherie, Tampa about Book Collector
January 16, 2006I want you to know I LOVE this program. I am currently a graduate student, studying to be an elementary teacher after 21 years in Law Enforcement.
I recently took a child's literature class where the professor urged us to begin collecting books, at least 1,000 of them for our own classroom library. I was concerned about tracking them and keeping records on them.
I started inputing the data on the books in the collectorz and found that I could put notes in any topics such as self-esteem, family, animals, etc. So when I need to find a book for a certain child's interest or need, I can do this with a simple search. I will also be able to successfully track my books as children "check them in and out."
I have told my professor, the author of our text book, Elementary Children's Literature about this program.
Patricia S. Brooks about Book Collector
January 05, 2006I have been using Book Collector for years and I purchased another copy for the school's library. Since I was thrilled with the product, I purchased the Christmas set for my brother. I wanted to make sure his scanner worked and it did-quite well-so I ended up purchasing another Christmas set for myself!
Thank you so much for such easy to use, reliable, and affordable products! Great Customer Service also!
Dr. Didacus Jules about Book Collector
January 04, 2006I have purchased both book collector and music collector - my book collection is almost 2,000 and i have recently purchased the bar code reader which works fabulously with the software!
You have an extraordinary product and i am happy i bought it. I have been recommending it to all my friends.
Ed Engberg about Book Collector
January 04, 2006As I "Flic"ed in a dozen or so Christmas gift books yesterday, I was reminded of how wonderfully useful Book Collector has been in cataloguing, locating and otherwise keeping track of the 1,123 books (it's only because of this program that I know the precise number) on my shelf --and not incidentally of the library books I have used in research.
Bob Evans about Book Collector
November 17, 2005I have always been a bit sceptical about testimonials on websites, but after using your programs, Book Collector and Movie Collector for the last few days, albeit somewhat intensely, I have finished cataloging my Movie collection (about 400 DVD's) and made a dent in my Book Collection (200 out of about 5,000 books), I find all of the fine comments made by others to be absolutely true.
It is a pleasure to do business with a group of people who have great functional products, a superb service attitude and all at excellent value for money.
Andreas Loukakis about Book Collector
September 24, 2005the book collector is a exeptional program with professional use, but very simple for everyone who want to arrangement his library ,with a lot of possibilites in all categories....it is precisely that program i looking for and I'm very happy !!!!!!!
Linda McFarland about Book Collector
August 14, 2005I am really enjoying this software. By the way, your support has been terrific.
Jeannine Gerace about Book Collector
June 21, 2005This is such a great program! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I have a personal collection of thousands of books and now I finally have an easy-to-use program to list them all. Several people regularly borrow books from me, so I also appreciate the loan feature.
It is so easy to use that I was able to figure it out without even reading the instruction manual.
Thanks again!
Scott Stratton about Book Collector
June 06, 2005Love the software. I have reviewed, literally, dozens of pieces of book collecting software because I have 1000's of titles and I only want to do this ONCE! Your stuff is by far the best. Thanks!
Devon Howard about Book Collector
June 02, 2005Let me start by saying that your product is amazing. I looked for several years for a viable software option to catalogue a choral music library.
When I finally found the book collector online it easily provided all the answers that I needed. Because of its adaptability and customizing options it was the perfect solution to my cataloging needs.
Peter Teubel about Book Collector
February 03, 2005I was simply Googling for a book database and found your link. The main feature that hooked my into trying your product was the book cover scans. Very nice!
After I used the wizard to enter some of my collection, I was SOOO impressed at the ease of use (and auto d/l details from Amazon & B&N) that I simply *HAD* to buy it.
I'm a network engineer and I've never been as impressed with a program as I have with your product. I mean, I paid for it after about 1 hours use. Thanks so much!!
Sharon Schlaak about Book Collector
December 02, 2004I must take a moment to say that I love this program and am using it to catalogue audio books that I have read this this year. It works so well when assisting me with my library requests and allows me to personalize a bit to my needs. Great job!
Thank you for an excellent product that has provides me with the tools to organize my reading & book list. I am using Standard edition Book Collector and used it for for free until I reached the 100 book limit. I then found I did not want to live without it.
I also appreciate the prompt response to my questions from customer support. Many Thanks!
Wayne Fisher about Book Collector
October 03, 2003I just wanted to take a brief moment and thank you for producing Book Collector, a book lover's dream!
Using your program, I have been able to quickly and easily catalog all of the important information concerning the hundreds of books I currently own. Not only that, but I also have been able to track books not yet published by favorite authors, and books on loan to my friends.
I love the ability to sort on almost any field (author, title, genre), and the ability to sort on user defined fields (books I do not yet own). I love the ability to print lists of my books according to almost any criteria.
Thank you so much for such an excellent program! Well worth the small price I paid!
Kent Dutton about Book Collector
September 29, 2003I have been using Book Collector for about a week and have found it to be the best that I have ever come across. I wish I had found this many years ago as it would have saved a lot of wasted time. In 20 minutes over the weekend I was able to add about 800 books into the database.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Lyn Guin about Book Collector
May 22, 2003My son bought this program for me using his credit card and I am thrilled to death with it. 25 years of adding to my home library has resulted in my having to move twice to larger houses (this is true).
It will take me many weeks to enter all volumes, but I am having great fun doing it. I had seen other programs in book stores in San Francisco, but never one that was so user friendly and comprehensive. I love it!

December 02, 2002What great products! The answer to my dreams.
I found your products on the 5-Star Freeware site and after downloading the Movie Collector and trying it for 3 minutes I knew I was on to a winner.
I have hundreds of DVDs and Videos as well as hundreds of CDs/Cassettes and perhaps THOUSANDS of books.
Thank you Collectors...I love you!

November 27, 2002This program is da bomb. I've been collecting books for decades. I have thousands of the things.
The big problem has not been the database - I can manage that. The big problem is typing in detail information about thousands of books. Too boring!! Too mind-numbing!! Thanks very much for this program.
It's clever and in a funny kind of way validates some of the promise of the Internet.

October 01, 2002Great program! I learned about it by doing a Google search. I investigated many programs and down loaded four. Yours was by far the best. Something I've been dreading doing is now fairly simple.
Larry Fry about Book Collector
September 02, 2002I am using your program for insurance purposes as well as to tell what books I have so that I do not duplicate buy new books. I really do like your work! It is an easy to use interface and is well thought out.
Debbie Beier about Book Collector
August 02, 2002I originally found Book Collector on Google when I was trying to find a product that would relieve me of some of the data entry involved in cataloguing by doing a lookup on ISBN - at the time, I wasn't even sure such a thing even existed, but since all the information IS online, and there's a ton of products that do the same sort of thing for CDs via CDDB, I thought there SHOULD be.
Book Collector showed up as one of the tiny handful of products that COULD do such a thing, but none of them were free (the other hope I'd had ;-) ). I looked over the website and bookmarked it for later consideration. In the meantime, a friend was also trying to find software for me, and Book Collector came up for him on an online search; he emailed saying that even though it wasn't free, it looked so impressive that he thought I should at least give it a try.
So I downloaded it and tried it, and of course, had my credit card handy long before I'd hit the evaluation version's limit. I can't praise you enough for what a beautiful job you've done on this software - it's absolutely marvellous, and I already have at least one friend (potentially more) talked into purchasing it for themselves.
BEAUTIFUL product - thank you very much for all the work you put into it!

July 23, 2002I've been waiting to find your software for 20 years. Could never master MS Access to create my own book collection recording database. Now I've found your Book Collector, I'm happy as happy can be.

Darren Jeffries about Book Collector
June 12, 2002Just a quick e-mail to say how wonderful Book Collector is. I have found it most useful with my small collection of 548 Star Trek Books as well as my extensive Tom Clancy Collection.
Thanks again for the best $25 i ever spent.
Philip Katz about Book Collector
May 21, 2002Not only are the Collectorz programs excellent, but your level of support is well in excess of what should be expected of a $20 program!
