Book Collector adds books to the database is quick and easy, because all information is automatically downloaded from book database sites and online book stores on the Internet. Once you have added a number of books to the inventory, you can view it in the main screen.

The resulting list can be sorted instantly. You can use the quick search feature to fast find all books that contain the word you type, or use the Advanced Filter command to search in specific fields, even multiple fields at once.

Its print feature allows you to print lists in any way you want. It lets you choose which books to print, which fields to show and in what order to list them, and many more. Book Collector will automatically download all book data (author, title, publisher, release year etc... and of course the book cover image.
