Can anyone suggest the best place to record the reference books that one has in your own library in Family Historian.
Having just purchased another copy of a previous purchase which I had forgotten I had. I thought it would be a good idea to record all my books.
Thanks.

You could simply create a separate project and use the Source records to record the books you could even add covers and use the Media window to browse them.

The combination of Source and Repository would work well.
The Source Record has Author and Publication Information, and Type for genre, and Custom Id for a reference.
The Repository Record has sub-Address fields for City, County/State, Postcode, etc, and Website, E-mail, Telephone for the Publisher.
