I've just finally managed to hunt down the full list of The Destroyer series, for example, since no book shop has even the list, let alone the books.
To bad, that would have been a truly awesome function.... Hmmm, maybe a way to add that manually? Or at least a way to add information about a series to the database?

Lets say that the program finds Eddings, David - Pawn of Profecy on my hd, that the software lets me enter Belgariad 01 as info for the book in question, that way one could at least sort on series and possibly have a function that lets me add a "wishlist"?
