Hi. I'm looking for a hard copy organizer where patrons can record the books
that they have read and also mark if they liked the book or not. Has anyone
heard of something like this? I would prefer it if it was in alphabetical
format. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Cheers from frozen Michigan

Marika,

I have purchased the book organizer shown on the Web site below in various
places:

http://www.addall.com/Browse/Detail/1552090159.html

I can't recall if it is alphabetical but it is attractive and sturdy. I have
given them as adult summer reading prizes. Half.com shows this for $7.24.

The other type I have used are just plain nice address books. I just ensure that
I finds one that just have alphabet tabs without spaces for name and phone
number. You can probably find these at a fairly resonable cost. I just bought
one for my granddaughter at Christmas for less than $5.00 at a Dollar
Store/Christmas Tree Shop/Odd Job Lot (???).

Good luck.

Carol

There are a few listed on Amazon.com, but I didn't check to see if they are alphabetical:

Reader's Journal (ISBN 1556708084 )
A Book Lover's Journal (ISBN 0201103540)
Booknotes: the booklover's organizer (ISBN 0943097029)
Reading Journal : Your Personal Record of Quotations, Reflections, and Impressions (ISBN 1889770094)
A Good Book Is the Best of Friends: A Reader's Journal (ISBN 0786867191)
The Reading Woman: A Journal (ISBN 0876548168)
The Reader's Notebook (ISBN 0971305609)
Reading Group Journal: Notes in the Margin (ISBN 0789205866)
A Book Lover's Diary (ISBN 1552090159)

I got one of these several years ago, but I never used it...I ended up keeping my book diary in a database that I set up.

I have never seen one. But what my mother did was to buy a small notebook
(8.5x5.5 will do) and a set of those alphabetical tabs you use for phone
books, and make her own. One page for each author--or, if two or more on a
page, just rewrite if one of them got too prolific. It worked for years.

Basbleu.com (Under Reading Accessories. There's also a Books to Check Out journal) or Levenger.com.
I've also seen them in major bookstores.

I have kept track of everything I have read since 1959. I use a regular
spiral bound notebook 8-1/2 x 11. I number the books and list by title and
then author, put the date I finished (so I know how long it took me to read
it) and, then I put good, exc, or bad as a comment by the author or the
title. Then I also have a ring binder with the same size sheets in--all are
in alphabetical order listing the A or B or C letters at the top of the
page. I number the books here, too, and keep by author and then title. If
I ever want to see what books I have read by a certain author, they are all
listed one way or the other. Hope this helps.

They also sell the alphabet tabs for a three ring binder which
means that your journal could keep growing and growing and....
