2025 - New Books I Am Excited About

This page is where I track all the upcoming titles that most interest me and that I hope to read. The list is alphabetized for easy lookup. I also keep a linked list organized buy release date to help out with planning and book buying. To view that list you simply have to register for the site here. It's free to join!

I focus mainly on books about publishing, authors, printing, book selling, bookstores, book collecting, book design, bibliophilia, book history, etc. Each book I read is a contender for the annual Books About Books Awards. If you would like to see all of the books about books I tracked last year, you can find that list here.

Do you know of a book related book that I have missed? If so, please drop me a line info [at] booksaboutbooks.com and I’ll check it out to see if I’d like to add it to my to-be-read pile. Thanks!
