I'm looking for a small(?) home book collection database? Have had no luck searching the web on this. Open to just a small simple database OR a front end and a full database, that I can run on my Thinkpad Laptop.

Re: Home Book Database
Not really a database, more a "digital cardbox" - but small and simple in usage: http://www.periapsis.org/tellico/ -

Re: Home Book Database
Everybody seems happy with Tellico, but my choice is a Gnome App, Alexandria.
Description
Alexandria is a program for organising collections of books. It
* retrieves and displays book information (including cover pictures) from
several online libraries, such as Amazon, Proxis and Barnes and Noble
* allows books to be added and updated by hand
* enables searches either by EAN/ISBN, title, authors or keyword
* can import and export data into ONIX, Tellico and ISBN-list formats
* features a HIG-compliant user interface
* handles book rating and notes
* supports CueCat (R) barcode readers
