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.

I have recorded mine as Repositories.

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.
