Deep Prose Software LLC has released Booxter 1.0, a utility for Mac OS X that helps users manage their book collections. I've only just downloaded it myself so I haven't had it long but it appears to be quite good. I've dabbled with library management applications before, the last was Bookbin which was based on Filemaker Pro. However, the company behind it went to a Web model (with subscription). While Bookbin had the advantage of being available for Mac and Windows - remember it was based on Filemaker - Booxter is Mac only. However, it is quite good. Simply enter the ISBN number of a book and the software goes and searches Amazone for the details such as author, title and length and downloads an image of the cover. The shareware fee is US$14.99 and I might just be keeping this one.
