I have a program on my palm pilot for this. I have the 02 version of
Bookshelf, which I purchased on Handango for about $15. It will hold
limitless books, and has a pretty thorough little data base, including
title, author, ISBN no, edition, publisher, etc. It does sorts by author
as well as title.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Book inventory software question
I"m sharing this information with the group in the hopes that it will
interest or help someone else who is in the same point that I am -
I've bought two of the same Dover books twice because I didn't
remember I already had it. I'm also hoping someone has used some of
the software out there and can give me some feedback. If no one else
is interested, I'll take the conversation private.
Thanks for the input, Kimiko. I looked up Book Collector on your
second recommendation; they didn't show up on my first Google of the
topic. They look pretty good, but I've already got 75 books written
up; with Book Collector's free 100 demo, but I may try it anyway. I
checked into Readerware and that looks pretty interesting. They have a
bundle of 3 products, one for books, one for CDs and one for
DVDs/VHS/Laser disks, all for $75. I think it would pay for itself
fairly quickly. Collectorz.com Book Collector also has a 100 book demo
and has software for music and movies too. I didn't realize how much
there is out there.
If anyone has used any of these products, please let me know.
Thanks,
LynnD

Hi LynnD.
I like Book Collector, and someday when I get close to the number of
books for the paid version I will pay for it. That is getting close.
And it does do Macs. This is from their web site.
"This organizer software runs on Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP and Apple
Mac OS X 10.3 and higher."
Unfortunately for those running Linux, they have no plans to have a
compatible program.
There are other programs, and one is actually an online library system.
I don't remember the name of it, or where it is located, and can't seem
to google it for some reason. Must not be using the right terms.
