HomeBase 2 was developed by the Advanced Book Exchange. It is a software program for managing your bookselling business by helping you keep track of books, catalogs, clients, wants, and invoices. Using HomeBase 2, you can maintain accurate records, print your records, and share information with booksellers around the globe.
When we designed HomeBase 2 we paid special attention to the data entry screens to make them as simple and easy to use as possible. We have also added many features that really streamline the data entry process.

Nightly Want Matching
Anyone who is searching for a book can save his or her search request as a want. Then, when new books matching the search request are added to ABE's inventory, ABE emails the buyers. The email gives the buyer specific contact information so that the buyer can contact the seller.
Lets say for example that you are looking for a hard cover copy of Richard Bachmans The Dark Tower. You would save your want and we at ABE will compare all incoming books with your want. When we find a match, well send you an email note letting you know which bookseller(s) have the book for sale.
Send Your Books and Wants to ABE
ABE accepts book and want records in many formats. If you are not using a recognized book inventory program, we can convert your data so that it can be displayed on ABE. Then if you wish, you can load it into HomeBase2 or another recognized book inventory program.
HomeBase 2 is a fast and easy way to send book records and wants to ABE. With a few simple steps your book records can be viewed and ordered through the Internet.
