Thread Name: book database software From: "Bill DiBenedetto" <billdi@removed> Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 13:12:20 -0700 HI all -- I finally decided to start the onerous task of cataloguing my MLs over the long holiday weekend, and came across a really nice, compact database software program designed specifically for books. It's easy to use and just what I was looking for as an alternative to using a regular spreadsheet program or adapting a contact database program. Best of all its free! Here's the link to get the download: http://www.spacejock.com/BookDB.html ------------------------------------- From: Michael Watson <archetype@removed> Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2006 18:48:52 -0400 Might I recommend BookTrakker? http://www.booktrakker.com/ The "collector" version is free. Stores all books in a database and exports just about any way you want. You can upgrade to a paid version which adds the ability to upload to various online book databases. You *will* end up selling your overstock, right? ------------------------------------- From: Lewis Tanner <take5@removed> Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2006 23:29:29 -0400 Book collector's inventory (books.dwh )for dBworx Author: helium This is a simple, if not rudimentary, database that I created for my small collection of hardcovers. It was not meant for serious book collectors/ dealers/libraries but can be changed to meet your purposes or as a guide to creating your own db. books.zip contains a readme file and the template. download: http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/ftp/Templates/books.zip dBworx: http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_BUSINESS-HOME.php#1438 The template, books.dwh, is a comma delimited file and can be adopted to any other type of delimited file - tab. etc. It's an ascii file that can be read or changed using any text editor. The help file, books.txt, explains the choices made by the author.
