Saved me from buying doubles
I absolutely LOVE my book collectorz program and have been using it for the last two years.
I bought the app for iphone quite a while ago as well and it has saved me from buying so many doubles (as I had done frequently in the past). — Sherry (USA) on Book Collector

Magic DataBases
By the Bye - as you may note, I have 3 of your excellent Data Bases - Music, Movies and also Books. The former 2 are now complete and am now happily adding the many hundreds books on my very numerous shelves.
I congratulate you on truly magnificent and indeed magic DataBases. They are the very best I have ever used - and there have been quite a number - but never as great as yours. Using them has been a complete continuous pleasure, quite addictive, and the results are superb and more than personally satisfying.
I have spread the news of Collectorz to all who will listen. My sincerest thanks for the magic Data Bases and your continuous support. — Ian Aarons (Australia) on Book Collector

Just want to say THANK YOU
I recently discovered MovieCollector while trying to help a friend with his (obviously) movie collection...he has a few thousand DVD and Blu-Ray, and is basically our neighborhood sharing point for any films. But he was having troubles figuring out who had what film, and what he even had (especially with sequels etc) so basically, I went looking for a solution, and found your wonderful software!

5 minutes testing it.....and he bought the pro version with a laser scanner!

A couple weeks later, I was looking at my book collection (rough guess, between my wife and I at least 10k) and realized....I know a company that makes a book collection software.......

10 minutes later...........bought it.

So basically, thank you for making some really great software that has made 2 new customers very happy....and these 2 will definitely recommend your products to others! — William Ebaugh (Germany) on Book Collector

Fantastic app for book collectors
The program works great!!! I have over 5,000 books and I just started using this program. It will allow me, for the first time, to know what books I have available.
I highly recommend this program for anyone trying to keep track of their books. — Lexkyusa on CLZ Books

CLZ
I have the full version of Book Collector and Music Collector therefore have both CLZ's. The good thing about these programmes is they have NO missing artwork, and the support is amazing. Since buying these programmes I have stopped buying duplicates.
If you like to catalogue books, music, comics etc,etc then these programmes are for you. — Amdramsing on CLZ Books

Great tool
Although I haven't yet had time to fully explore all of the features of the software, I have been greatly impressed with the features that I am already using, and overall I find the software very user-friendly and a great tool for managing a personal library.

It's the sort of thing I dreamed of having 20 years ago when I first started building my collection, and I have recommended it to several friends with large collections like my own.
The fact that you have people available to offer such excellent customer support makes me all the more impressed with your company — Kelly M. Fiske (USA) on Book Collector

Can't. Stop.
Already had Comic Collector Pro and Barry for iPhone. Got Book Collector Pro and Music Collector Pro on sale this weekend. Big mistake...
BECAUSE SCANNING THINGS IS SO DAMN ADDICTIVE.

All together
I LOVE my book collector. I can take my list with me every where I go.
I buy 20 to 30 books a month. My local library sales them for $.25 cents each. I was always calling home to see if I had it. And I buy kindle books online.
This keeps them all together. — Lisa Cox Williams (USA) on Book Collector

WOW WOW WOW
Wow, I have just downloaded the free book collector. My first impression after trying it for a couple of books is WOW WOW WOW. What a great product.
It is well-done and very easy to handle. Thanks a lot for doing it. — Jacques Paquin (Canada) on Book Collector

The very best!
There is no better program out there anywhere that can organize my thousands of books better than Collectorz Books...
Hands down, the very best! — Thomas Taylor (USA) on Book Collector
September 12, 2012
Just superb !
A simple but excellent app, easy to use & configure & has more than paid for itself over the years by allowing me to check for books I've already purchased before buying them again !! — Stevie - Westcountry on CLZ Books

Read them
Just started with book collectorz today and have the intent to do my professional books (I am an educator) I did find some I don't know if I even read them. — Jan Rowan Spohn (USA) on Book Collector

Love Book Collector so much
Hi Collectorz!
I would like to share The Yellow Library which is my home library that my husband and I designed (DIY). :)
I want to inspire booklovers everywhere to dedicate a special room for their books!
My book blog is named after it :). I love Book Collector so much that ive been recommending it to all my booklover friends and blogged about it — Aimee Lorraine Keh-Lee (USA) on Book Collector

Serve my purpose, and more!
You may or may not recall that I was in contact with you at the beginning of the year asking questions because I have inherited a large library of antique books and classic 'literary' literature in many languages and I was asking if Book Collector would be suitable.

Well, after careful consideration I have purchased the Mac version of Book Collector and even though I haven't had time to catalogue many books it does seem to serve my purpose, and more!
Last night I showed it to a friend who 'is in the know' about cataloguing systems, library databases etc and he was quite impressed with all the options and the user friendly set-up. — Amalia Zimmermann (Spain) on Book Collector

Taking your collection with you!
Having the Book Collector on the Mac at home is superb but when out and about there is the nightmare of finding yourself in a bookshop miles from home and wondering have you got this book or not?
With iPad and iPhone versions of Book Collector with you such doubts can be resolved in no time. Sync works fine and most book covers survive the process. Alvin and his team are enthusiastic. — Steven Reid on CLZ Books

Working beautifully....
You may get tired of hearing it, but you guys are definitely the most efficient outfit on the internet! Thank you for making my upgrade and transfer to a new laptop with a new OS seamless, painless and even fun! All installed and working beautifully. — Reg Codrington (South Africa) on Book Collector
August 13, 2012
Very handy
Great to have my books list and wish book list with me everywhere. It is missing an edit function on the IPhone and IPad app but I think they are working on that. I have stopped buying duplicate books because I have this app and database with me. — Grn19 on CLZ Books

Wonderful program
And thanks to all of you for this wonderful program to keep track of my books!!
I love! Couldn't do without it. — Cynthia Davis (USA) on Book Collector
July 27, 2012
It does what it says on the tin
I actually bought the IPad for this app. I have a specialist book collection of over 6,000 titles and was finding it increasingly difficult to remember what I had. It does what it says on the tin. It was easy to load from my laptop and is easy to keep up to date. It would be better if books listed under each author could be in order but I can always search for a title or author.
The app has already saved me from duplicating quite few titles so will give it four out of five stars. — Belaughcats on CLZ Books
July 11, 2012
Very easy to use
Busy catalogueing inherited library of over 1,000 books. Reached 711. Love your program. Very easy to use. Thanks for a great program. — Andre Bouwer (USA) on Book Collector

Saved me time and money
Once again, the book collectorz mobile app has saved me time and money.
Me+ bargain book shelves at the book store + "wow can't believe I missed this book"= check to see if I have it in my library. — Veronica Andree (USA) on Book Collector

Positive experience
Thank's very much for your helpful, thorough, and well-thought-out reply to my question.
I appreciate that you gave me several different options, with links to further information.

I particularly appreciate that you thought of checking online for applications that provide password protection, something that somehow hadn't occurred to me. That particular link helped me to identify a simple program that will password-protect the copy of Book Collector that I'll be placing on my friend's computer.

The positive experience that I'm having with Book Collector and with collectorz.com will probably soon lead to my buying additional software for DVDs and/or CDs.

Thanks again for your efforts and expertise. — Gary McDole (USA) on Book Collector

Love It!
Love being able to check what books I have, and the ones on my wish list. No more duplicates or carrying notebook with me. — Wicki97 on CLZ Books
June 22, 2012
If you use collectorz software on your PC, this is a must add on.
A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The PC software is good enough to justify its price even including the price of this App.It seems solid, wiFi transfers are easy and I have my book DB with me everywhere in a very pleasing format.
I would love to be able to make changes to my book DB through this app but even without this feature I am happy with it. — MagoryOH on CLZ Books

Wonderful programme
Being a librarian, I have been asked to start and am using you wonderful programme. Persuaded them to buy your programme and it works well! — Sonia Worthington-Smith (USA) on Book Collector
June 20, 2012
I am amazed!
I am amazed! No matter what I need to do to enter old or new books in my library into Book Collector, your program has a way to do it. I am so impressed.
When I complete this project, I shall surely purchase Music Collector for my A/V and sheet music collection.
Thank you for easy-to-use, intuitive software. Your online searchable manuals are excellent. — Warren Rubin (USA) on Book Collector
June 14, 2012
Excellent program
Love this application - I have over 900 books and having the ability to carry my list (library) info around in a portable version is excellent. Have a lot of this companies programs and have not been disappointed by their products. — Dmbrownie698 on CLZ Books

Making it a lot easier!

You all totally rock!
Wowzers! I ordered my scanner and software on Friday. I made an error, wrote to customer service and they got it all straightened out for me. I got the package yesterday and even with my error they had already corrected the contents before my package arrived.
So today I plugged in the scanner, loaded the software and started scanning. I expected it to be hard. I expected to struggle with it... and it ran perfectly. I can honestly say I have never opened something up and started using it right away with the ease that I have with this software and hardware!
You all totally rock! I will definitely tell my friends about you! — Claire Shackelford (USA) on Book Collector
June 08, 2012
I'm in heaven!
I have been using Bookcollector on my PC for years and am VERY satisfied with both how user friendly it is and how customizable it is. Plus it just keeps gettting better and better!
At first the little app for my iPhone seemed rudimentary (unless I was missing something?) but now it has all the details and the App for my new iPad 3 with retina display and the cover images just blows me away!
I LOVE my personal library of over 3,500 books and now if I am talking to someone about a book I have that they might like I can just whip out my iPhone or IPad and show it to them. What fun! Bookcollector Helps me actually find and use my books. — CreativeCompass on CLZ Books

Love the program

I love this product
I recently purchased the Book Collecter. I haven't gotten anywhere near done cataloging everything, but it's already been a great help. Found out that 1 bookshelf stacked normally as oppossed to packed, holds 150 books (as we have another 5 shelves stuffed to the gills in one room alone, this is important)
I've also found that the CueCat can be finicky and sometimes barcodes don't match the book.
Also neat, Book Collecter does MANGA! Overall, I love this product and can happily say I'll probably by more in the future. — Sammy Higley (USA) on Book Collector

1,285 books listed
I have 1,285 books listed in my book library. The only way I can keep from buying books I have already read is taking my Ipod, which has the App, with me to the store and the local public library.
In fact I bought the Ipod because Collectorz had an App for it. — Richard Feese (USA) on Book Collector

Good value data bases
I "Stumbled" onto Collectorz many years ago after much frustration in searching for good value data bases for Books, Music & Movies.
I haven't looked back and the developments over the years have been staggering! — Rob Robilliard (Australia) on Book Collector

Love you guys
Love 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. — Jerri Lea Estep (USA) on Book Collector

Great software!
Great software! Keeping track on your loaned books makes it very cost-effective.
No problem with recognition of dutch titles an ISBN numbers. — Martin Beeres (Netherlands) on Book Collector
April 08, 2012
Awesome app!
Let me first start by saying that I have been using the stand alone (PC) app, the iPhone apps, and the iPad apps since they first came out. I have never had a problem with apps crashing, or inconsistent/partial downloads or updates.

I don't have a lot of books (only about 300), but this app is just a strong as the movie and music ones! I love them. I have over 4000 movies and 62,000 songs, so I am really picky about what these can do and how well they perform.

I am still a big fan because these apps work wonderfully! — Rob Sandberg on CLZ Books

Excelente aplicación
Es perfecta para clasificar libros. Tima los datos automáticamente a partir del ISDN. Pueden personalizarse los campos. Con la app lector de código de barras es todavía mejor. Solo le falta adaptarse un poco al idioma español. — Aldagarum on CLZ Books

I love it
If you’re a book collector, I recommend this app and the bookcollectorz software to help keep track of your book collection, whether it's small, medium or large.
It's also helps to avoid buying the same book twice. — SherryTexas on CLZ Books
March 15, 2012
Awesome and useful!
We love CLZ.
It rocks.
It's simple enough to easily list all of our books and find them when needs be and complex enough to give us details we need. And...you can view your info offline!
WAY AWESOME! — sweetsavoirfaire on CLZ Books
March 11, 2012
Finally-I have control!
After buying the same digital book more than once because of a change in readers I was desperate. Clz is the answer. Customizable easy to use and I can even use my phone to read the codes! Fabulous! — MicheeBee on CLZ Books

It will have paid for itself
If 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!! ;-) — Edie Jardieu (USA) on Book Collector
February 29, 2012
The best
I 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 — Steve Copeland (USA) on Book Collector

February 05, 2012
Fab app...
This is a brilliant app as a companion to the pc app - only way to be sure you don't buy duplicate books is to have the list with you!

Wouldn't want to be without this app! — JewelMistress on CLZ Books

Great!
Best book database program currently available for iphone. — Fussimist on CLZ Books
January 23, 2012
Great product
I 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. — Marcel Ponton (USA) on Book Collector

Great Aps
I'm a long time Collectorz fan and customer. These aps are very good.
I hear their working on updates for two way syncing which would make the aps perfect. — Long collectorz fan & customer on CLZ Books

Absolutely Fantastic
Easy to use, intuitive.
Works great with iPhone scanner app (CLZ Barry) and desktop/online program. I've been waiting for this type of program since I started grad school.
Excellent. — Marcel Ponton on CLZ Books

Good app
Good app, but of course only if you have the desktop version - this app does not work on a standalone basis. I have both, and am very happy, especially with the PC one. — Gaucho_97 on CLZ Books
