That's nice of you to offer :) I have already bought the less expensive books myself. Lulu is pretty fast with printing and shipping the books out. I have only flicked through them though, but they looked ok i think.
The inside print is not particularly special, but it is still reasonably done. I will upload several pictures here for reference for the people that are undecided and once its salary time, I will proceed with the purchase of the PS1 books :)
Thank you for doing this once again! We both have a very strong obsession with lists and catalogues, but you have done all the work here, whilst I am just getting my fix :)
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I just want to say thank you and I really, really appreciate your review. You are 100% in that I have a (maybe unhealthy) obsession with lists. I created the first PDF/book (NES) when I started collecting NES games. I couldn't find a good collection guide/list at the time so I started making my own (I actually found the PDF/book I was searching for when I was nearing completion on the project "https://www.spelochsant.se/produkt/ovrigt/bocker/nes-xx-scn-1handbokenomnes-spel...") (it's Swedish, but I love the page design).
I am sure that with your pace one day you will end up doing a full circle around all retro consoles if that is your intention. While there are a lot of encyclopaedias about the popular ones - NES, SNES, N64, etc. there is a certain middle ground between retro and modern consoles that no one has covered - PSP, GBA, DS etc or there are some big failures as consoles that no one really wants to write about - CDi, 3DO etc. I am personally collecting systems only (currently reached 70+), however I always needed some sort of a list when selecting the best games on a console to play so that I can beat at least those and put the system back in the box and on the shelf. Even Wikipedia doesn’t have an entry for every game or pictures regarding each title, this is where your books come into play, since I can quickly have a usable reference about ratings and a summary for each title.
The only field I am truly missing is whether a game is exclusive for the platform or not or what it’s also available on, but I guess since we live in the age of constant remasters and remakes such section might never grow old well, requiring updates to stay accurate.
