Introduction
Book Collector’s Wish List allows you to keep track of books you desire, but don’t yet own. You can add books directly to your wish list and quickly move them to your collection. You can quickly switch between your wish list and books you already own using Book Collector’s Collection Status tabs at the bottom of the main screen. Sync your collection with CLZ Cloud to have your entire collection (including your wish list) viewable in your free CLZ Cloud or in your CLZ Books iOS / Android app.
