Book Inventory Software
Stop tracking your books in a spreadsheet. Vaultry is purpose-built software for book collectors - with type-specific fields, photo storage, audit reports, and an insurance-ready PDF export.
No charge until your trial ends. Export everything anytime.
Why a spreadsheet stops working
Most book collectors start with Excel. By about 50 items, it breaks down. Here's why.
- No type-specific fields - you cram serial numbers, grades, and IDs into generic columns.
- Photos live in a separate folder (if at all) - no link between row and image.
- No audit workflow - you can't walk through your collection and confirm presence.
- One typo away from a corrupted record - delete a row by mistake, it's gone.
- No backups, no version history, no export format insurers accept.
