Site Updates
Over the years, I’ve been adding a lifetime of collecting knowledge to this site to help you on your own book collecting journey. To keep this work entertaining, I add new pages and guides as whimsy and caprice take me. That has made my site a bit of sprawling beast, so I hope this changelog will help regular visitors keep an eye out for what’s new! (Although because the upcoming special editions and upcoming preorder incentives pages are updated every week or two, I’m not including those pages in the list below.) Also, if you’re waiting on a particular guide you’d love me to add, please do drop me a note – I take requests ツ .
