Book Collector reviews, user opinions about Collectorz.com Book Collector

"I 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!"

"I 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!"

"Book 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."

"I 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!"

"You 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."

"I 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"

"We 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 dont' 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. "

"I 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"

"I 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."

"I'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...:)"

"Book 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."

"I 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 :)"

"I 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 !"

"After 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."

"I recently finished cataloguing my books (2100 of them) and I've been recommending your software to my friends, it's great!"

"I 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."

"Love the product while still learning all the ins and outs of the program, and thanks for such wonderful customer service."

"I am, once again, very impressed. I love great software and great service. :)"

"I'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."

"I 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! "

"I'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."

"Of 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 ..."

"Just 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"

"This software has changed my life... my 600+ books are now in order and lending has become a breeze!"

"I 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:-)."

"this program is like manna from heaven -- exactly what I have been searching for and then much more."

"I 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"

"I'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"

"I 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."

"In case you don't hear it enough, the Book Collector is wonderful and the new Export ot Ipod Notes is fantastic."

"For the record: You have a great program - my collection contains about 2,000 books and finally some order is beginning to appear! "

"We'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.

Regards from El Salvador!!"

"I 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."

"I 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."

"I 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!"

"I 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."

"As 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."

"I 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."

"the 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 !!!!!!!"

"I am really enjoying this software. By the way, your support has been terrific."

"This 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!"

"Love 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!"

"Let 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."

"I 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!!"

"I 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!"

"I 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!"

"I 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!!!!"

"My 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!"

"What 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! Chris"

"This 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."

"Great 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."

"I 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. "

"I 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!"

"I'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. "

"This is great. I am an avid reader and a collector of many many books. This is just awesome. Thanks."

"Just 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."

"Not only are the Collectorz programs excellent, but your level of support is well in excess of what should be expected of a $20 program!
