Why Collectors Love It

• Universal but specific: Works for all genres, including cookbooks. Use Reading Notes for tested recipes and any safety updates.
• Clear standards: Honest condition grades and a completeness checklist (index, illustrations, charts, foldouts, inserts, jacket) cut guesswork.
• Flexible format: Print at 100% actual size (Letter or A5) or import the PDF into Goodnotes for a clean, reusable digital workflow.

Goodnotes & Digital Planner Instructions

Import on iPad/iPhone

1. Download the PDF to Files (or open from your order email).

3. Choose a folder (e.g., Library Catalog) and save.

Use it like a digital form

• Write with Apple Pencil or type with the Text tool.
• Tick checkboxes with the highlighter or shape tool.
• Duplicate pages: Thumbnails → … → Duplicate (one copy per book).

Print & Use Instructions

1. Print at 100% on Letter or A5; choose 28–32 lb paper for a smoother write and less show-through.
2. One page per book. File by title or author for quick lookup.
3. Fill Book Details first. Then mark Location & Status and your Condition grade.
4. Check Completeness. Tick what’s present: index, illustrations, maps/charts, foldouts, inserts/ads, conversion charts (for cookbooks), ephemera, dust jacket (if issued).
5. Record Provenance & Acquisition. Names, inscriptions, source, date, and—if you wish—price paid.
6. Use Notes. Capture reading insights, favorite lines, or recipe results.
7. Loan Tracker. Log every loan. Set a standard due date at the top and check Returned when it’s home.
