Those in HN that have a large library, how do you maintain a catalog of your books? Do you keep a list of to-buy and to-sell/give?

Also, dust covers on hardbacks, do you toss them or keep them?



My wife and I just use Zotero (the free software reference manager). This works for our 1,200 or so books. We also have a small spreadsheet of titles we are hunting for at second hand book fairs.

The Zotero application has a great feature that pulls a book's details from worldwide library catalogues in most cases if there is an ISBN.
