Here's what Collectorz.com customers have to say about Book Collector
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.
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!
Iain Challis about Book Collector
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.
David Brandon about Book Collector
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.
Regards from El Salvador!!
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

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!
Chris Raisin about Book Collector
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!

Jeff Lemkin about Book Collector
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.
Niteman3d about Book Collector
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!
Kate Britt about Book Collector
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.
Sherrie Jones about Book Collector
July 15, 2002This is great. I am an avid reader and a collector of many many books. This is just awesome. Thanks.
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!
