Alexandria Book Library is the simplest component to manage and publish book on joomla. Very useful the plugin.
The author has done a wonderful job
I am developing a website for a non-profit school and using it there .
(Only one request since there is no plugin support for SEF like in 1.5 version of the same,so wish author would support that for Sh404sef for Joomla version 2.5 too )

I'am a beginner Joomla user.
This extension helps me build corporate document library.
For a costless extension it works well. Just had some php-notice issues, partly resolved via their forum in a day - nice support.
Keep up the good work!

This component is really what I was looking for. What I like is that I can register the metadata in seperate database fields which makes it easier for the sitesearch.
The major con is that there's no 1.6 native version. I wonder if this in te planning already.

Alexandria Book Library for !Joomla 1.6 is coming soon.
the interface is good and can search chinese...
but author selection makes the book input complicated, etc. and seems not publisher field?
and cannot know how to import an csv if no sample for reference....
but generally speaking, it is better than MediaLibrary for chinese support and good design for easy use front end...

This extension has potential. It would be nice if I can import or export csv file.
