We've heard rumors about it. We started to create its myth. But ladies and gents, I have found the Holy Grail, in sorts. Click here to get the t-shirt transfer from e-bay.

Bad Book Buys

Ok, time to rant. At the seminary I attend, we have a Fall bibliophilic ritual. Let me rehearse this ridiculous tradition. Toward the beginning of October, the student body pines with anticipation for a 16 page pdf document containing the a virtual cornucopia of theological, linguistic, and philosophical works. After reviewing this manuscript like a student of the dead sea scrolls, the gitty customers submit their orders to Eerdmans and with juvenile Christmas-like anticipation eagerly await the arrival of their new found joys.

Seriously, this group needs to wake up. The majority of this group misinterprets the "sale" being advertised as some sort of major savings. Please! Listen, do a quick price comparison with http://www.bestbookbuys.com/, and all of you will realize that you are beginning duped. You are still paying too much for these books. As a fellow bibliophile, I exhort you all, "Make your money work for you!!!" I would rather take a "used" book with a roughed edge than pay three times as much for a book on "sale." Anyways, don't be duped and try to balance quantity with quality.

Collectorz, G!

No, this is not a typo; and no, I am not falling prey to the “hip-hop” culture that permeates our day. What I am referring to is a program that is a need of any true bibliophile out there. Collectorz.com provides visually interactive database programs that allow collectors of nearly any type of media to record and catalogue their entire cache. These databases cover music, movies, comics (Baylor, this is just for you), MP3’s, games, photos, and most importantly books!

For those who want an encompassing program to track their collections, this is it. After what my wife labeled as “an impulsive” buy, I think we were both presently surprised. The first thing I noticed was the user-friendliness of this program. With just a click of a button, Book Collectorz Pro places you within a user friendly wizard through which you can input any of your books by just entering the ISBN. With the compatibility to utilize a barcode reader, this system becomes that much more user friendly! The wizard completes the process of adding a book to your collection by importing data, such as book summary, pages, publisher, even cost, via the major book sellers and libraries.

Another aspect of this program that piqued my attention was not only its ability to excessively query your own personal databases but also to print or export to multiple formats the finished queries. This makes sharing recommended lists or the more important wish-lists easier than ever! Wed to all this the ability of Book Collectorz Pro to track all of your book loans with a touch of a button, unlimited free updates, and an incredible user-friendly visually based interface, Book Collectorz Pro becomes an easy decision for any bibliophile. For only $39.95 for the full unlimited download, it becomes an easy decision for a book collector on any a budget. I would highly recommend this product for anyone serious about maintaining an extensive yet user-friendly database of their book collection. That’s it for today. Word to you mother, collectorzzzzz!
