👋 The Video Game Library Weekly Newsletter!
Hi there! I’m Dean — founder of The Video Game Library, a growing archive of over 10,000 books about video games in 25+ languages, spanning artbooks, strategy guides, cookbooks, comics, academic texts, and more.
This newsletter is an extension of that passion — a weekly behind-the-scenes look at what we’re cataloguing, the latest video game book announcements, reviews, interviews with authors and collectors, and fun spotlights on forgotten or obscure gems from the archive.
Whether you’re a collector, researcher, or just someone who loves books and games, this space is for you.
🗓️ What to Expect Each Week:
New book announcements from publishers around the world
Deep dives into what’s been added to the Library
Author and community interviews
Thoughtful reviews and personal favorites
A few weird, wonderful finds you’ve probably never seen
If you're already subscribed — thank you! If you're on the free plan, I hope you enjoy what you see and consider upgrading to support the project for just $2/week.
Either way — I’m glad you’re here. Let’s discover some amazing books together.
– Dean
