So cool , I always love seeing our collection! How did you bbn get the individual novellas, though? I got really lucky on ebay. 6 of the 7 were part of 2 listings that were about a week apart (one buy it now, the other I bid on), and the last book showed up as part of a collection of books for sale about a month or so later.

Could we see the Each side of The Broken Code paperback books? Can we see the inside front and back covers as well? I'd like to see what they look like as I only have the 4 current Broken Code books in Hardcover. Is this what your mean? Yes!

Alright, so it's been a few years since I last posted this, and it has grown exponentially since then, so here we go. I do apologize if this comes off as bragging, but then again, I have put a LOT of work into this collection, not just in collecting the books/merch themselves, but in hauling everything to my porch (better lighting) to photograph, sorting, labeling, and uploading all of the photos, so maybe I should brag a little, because I am very proud of what I've done. I got my first foreign edition of the books for Christmas in 2013, and I haven't looked back since. The specs of my collection as of today (2/16/2021) are as follows: 5 Bookcases 16 Languages 177 Pictures 646 Books I've broken everything up by language under spoilers to try to not crash anyone's device. I put a number beside each language to let you know how big each spoiler is. I hope everyone enjoys my collection, and if not, I'm sorry for wasting your time. Without further ado: Overall Bookcases/Shelves (33) American [ USA] (20) Arabic [ Egypt] (1) British [ United Kingdom] (2) Alternate Covers Dutch [ Netherlands] (3) Anniversary Edition Guides Novellas German [ Germany] (7) Hardcover Anniversary Edition Hardcover Old Guides Mangas Omnibus Super Edition Hardcover Japanese [ Japan] (2) Korean [ South Korea] (2) Old Persian/Farsi [ Iran] (1) Polish [ Poland] (6) Illustrated Edition Mangas Novellas Super Edition Romanian [ Romania] (1) Russian [ Russia] (12) Simplified Chinese [ China] (15) Old Middle New Alternate (colored spines) Alternate (red spines) Guides Mangas New Mangas Old Novellas Super Edition New Super Edition Old Spanish [ Spain] (1) Traditional Chinese [ Taiwan] (8) Ukrainian [ Ukraine] (3) Vietnamese [ Vietnam] (1) American Merch (8) Bracelet Buttons Mini Figures Pen Pins Plushies Poster Dutch Merch (2) Journal Sketchbook German Merch (6) Activity Books Bracelet Trading Cards Masking Tape Pencil Case Simplified Chinese Merch (27) Traditional Chinese Merch (6) Buttons Card Books Trading Cards (3-D) Journal Pencil Case Pencils Ukrainian Merch (3) Unofficial Merch (7) Bracelets Keychains Hoodie T-Shirt Purse Ok how did you get an uncorrected copy of Into the Wild?!?! Also you have my favorite copies of the books: the Vietnam and Farsi covers Have you seen the new Vietnamese book coming soon?

yooo wait whats different in the uncorrected proof? idk what that actually means haha I haven't actually read the proof, because right now it is in mint condition and I fear I will damage it somehow. Outwardly, the differences are there is no barcode on it, the pages are on standard white copy paper instead of the rougher, ivory colored paper the regular books are, and there are no illustrations at the beginning of each chapter, though there are faded paw prints that go across the first page of each chapter. The font is smaller and I believe single spaced as opposed to the other books, which look 1.5 spaced (I could be wrong on the spacing, though it's definitely closer spaced than the regular books). The Harper Collins logo is also different.

im curious, how thin are the individual novellas compared to s novella bindup? Some are thicker than others - maybe on average the thickness of an individual manga. Here's the pic of their spines on the shelf - they are the books with white spines right after the Guides:

Dang... this collection is seriously impressive! I am in awe. I'm loving that Dutch cover of Into the Wild... so much character! Edit: I have to ask... how did you get your hands on an uncorrected proof of Into the Wild??

Edit: I have to ask... how did you get your hands on an uncorrected proof of Into the Wild?? I actually acquired it by accident - I happened to stumble on a first edition, first printing, autographed version of an Into the Wild hardcover on Abebooks, and I bought it. Also listed by the same seller was what I thought was a first edition, first printing, autographed British alternate version of Into the Wild, so I went ahead and ordered that as well, and what ended up coming was the uncorrected proof, autographed. I have no idea if the autographs are real or not, I would love to message one of the authors to find out, but I'm scared to do so.

This is an impressive collection! I admire your tenacity. I love how dynamic the Polish art is, and the Russian covers have a certain charm as well. Which country edition is your favourite, or you had a particularly fond memory about?

This is an impressive collection! I admire your tenacity. I love how dynamic the Polish art is, and the Russian covers have a certain charm as well. Which country edition is your favourite, or you had a particularly fond memory about? Bookwise, my favorite memory is of the old German books (with the cats in the rings on the covers). They were an auction on German Ebay that I found the day before they ended, so I scrambled to find a German shipping agent (basically a German address to ship to that would forward the items to me), then just had to wait for the auction to end. I set a pretty high max bid, but in the last minute, I kept watching someone bid higher and higher to outbid me, and my husband, who was watching with me and wasn't really into it at the time, suddenly goes, "You better bid more if you want to win it!" which was funny and a good memory with him, and I did end up winning. My favorite memory overall for anything in my collection though is the WindClan Taiwan pin. They came with the Guides, so I knew I would have to buy duplicates to get all 6. The first 3 I bought were all different. Then I ordered 4 of the remaining Guide, and got 2 new (making 5) and 2 duplicates. I decided to try one last time for the missing WindClan pin, and ordered 4 more of the last book. 2 days before the books came, my cat died, and I was completely devastated. When they came, I was going to only open 2, and the other 2 were going to be my Easter gift. The very first one I opened was WindClan, which I viewed as a final gift from my cat (even though she was a RiverClan cat through and through). I always think of her when I see it.

Wow, that's a very sweet memory. I definitely believe your cat helped you get that WindClan pin ^-^

I was waiting for a few books to come in the mail before I started updating - I do intend to update soon, but a very major life event has recently descended on my house, and it limits my free time and drains any spare energy I have. I'm hoping once things fall into a routine, I will be able to start taking on tasks like updating my photos, but for now, all of my focus is on the problem at hand. I'm glad you like the collection though!
