If I’m in Manage Pick Lists under the Year list, I have a number of books in the 18th and 19th centuries. But I don’t have any books from that time. The earliest book I have is from 1911. How do I get them to zero?
The Year list in Manage Pick Lists is just the list of years that can be used (or not used, but are available) in any of the Year dropdowns for any of the Date fields that Book Collector has.
Date fields:
- Publication Date
- Original Publication Date
- Purchase Date
- Reading Date
- Story/Article/Chapter (Content) Publication Date
- Author Born Date
- Author Died Date
If any of your books (or authors) use one of those years you mentioned, in any of the fields above, it means the year has been used.
Perhaps you have authors that were born/died in one of those years?
Note: The Manage Pick List screen is definitely not meant to see "how many books you have from a certain year.
If you wish to see from which years you have books:
- Click the folder icon top left,
- Click Publication Year (or Main > Publication Year)
Let me know if you have any further questions,
