Do you have a book collection you need to organize and catalog?
We have the perfect PC-program for you: CATBooks for Windows
(shareware)! 

NEW! We can now offer electronic distribution at a substantially
lower price!

NEW! Version 3.21 released 25 June 97.

You find all the details (including how to download) at
http://www.prodat.no/fnp/eng/

With CATBooks you can register and look up information about 
such things as: 

 - author
 - title
 - release year
 - publisher
 - country of origin
 - condition
 - category
 - type
 - location
 - edition
 - printing
 - pages
 - ISBN 
 - purchase price
 - current value.

You can add personal comments for every item. Thirteen special 
fields enable you to customize your catalog. You can even store 
a bitmap picture of the book cover. 

CATBooks includes a loan module that lets you keep track of
books on loan, who has borrowed, when they were borrowed, when
they are due back and how many times they have been borrowed.

CATBooks was recently reviewed by SharewareJunkies:

"This excellent little program catalogs your book collection in
a relational database. Lots of programs do that, but CATBooks
has been particularly well designed and implemented. 

In addition to a complete bibliographic citation (title, author,
publisher, ISBN, publication date, and edition) there are slots
for condition, purchase date, book type, previous title, number
of pages, and book location, and nine blank slots for
user-defined categories. Additionally, there is a well-designed,
very informative help file (how many of those have you seen
recently?), a good search engine, a memo pad for notes on each
entry, and a report generator with value totals for insurance
purposes. There is even a window for storing a picture with each
record.

Support: Unknown, little appears necessary."
