Print a list of books by the author

srfoot24 · 07-16-2023, 04:11 PM

Hi;
How can I print a list of books in my calibre by a specific author?
I know I could print screen shots from calibre after searching by author but that would be wasteful.
Thank you and I hope this is possible in a somewhat simple way.

If you right click on the "Convert Books" icon there is an option "Create a catalogue of the books in your Calibre library". Select this option.

Then go through and select what data you need exported. I haven't used this much, but I think it exports what your library is currently displaying. So ensure you are displaying only the books by that author.

Before you open "Create Catalogue" perform a search for the books you want to catalogue , select the results and the click through into "create Catalogue" where it will use just the selected books.

Thank you!!!!!
That looks perfect.
Easy enough to sort, etc. in spreadsheet.
Thanks!
