O/T: Weekly digest of collectible editions

I've been doing weekly digests for a few weeks on Reddit, and I thought folks over here might like this format too. If there's interest I'll keep doing it.

All dates listed are general sale dates. Where a book has its own page on the publisher's site, I link to that. Otherwise the link goes to the book's page on my website, where you can see its specs, compare it with other editions, set alerts, and more.

What do you think of this format? Worth doing weekly?

This is really nice, thanks!

>2 DeviousMouse: Glad you found it useful!

>1 megaumi: Very nice, but I wonder if there's enough news to keep them coming each week. Monthly might be better?
There's also a general update thread trying to track everything over at the Fine Press Forum on a more ongoing basis: https://www.librarything.com/topic/377150#n9213599

Thank you very much, I find this very useful. And weekly works well for me.

Grim Oak's Presale of Wise Man's Fear for NOTW owners also starts this week.

Interesting data on this thread, but it would be better posted on the Fine Press Forum than here.

>7 wcarter: A sentiment I echo.

>8 FitzJames: Yup.

Only a couple of these editions qualify as fine press, most are closer to Folio standard editions in quality and price point, which is why I thought people here might be interested. But I take your point, and I won't post them here in future. Cheers.

>10 megaumi:

Thanks as well. As long as this thread is posted somewhere on LT it is of value to us.

>10 megaumi:

I also think they fit better there than in fine press.

Should we start a new group? "Not Quite Fine Press Collectors Forum"? :D
