This is the latest version. August 2009.

BookLibrary provides a full-featured book library or book collection management environment on a Joomla-based website and allows you to manage large book libraries. The component can also be used to easily set up a book selling shop using Amazon if you want. With an Amazon Associates ID you can earn credits with book sales through Amazon, while Amazon takes care of the handling and shipping.
