Book cataloguing software… Combining computer gadgetry and books, what more could one ask?
The one I use is called BookCat. Very happy with it. The database is easy to set up, easily customisable and you can store things like author profiles and publishers’ details in separate entities and tie them to the books and there’s room for cover pictures (up to three for each book). There’s decent importing and exporting functions, and lots of reporting functionality that I’ve yet to look into much.
You can download the program to try it out, but it will only let you register 40 books. If you like it you’ll have to fork out the shareware price ($39, I think) to get a licence file which will “unlock” the program for you. There’s a user forum at ezboards and the author (who, incidentally, is Norwegian) is pretty good at answering questions promptly.
