Welcome back to The Video Game Library Newsletter!

It’s Summer Game Fest week, and Volume 52 is joining the celebration in a big way.

Really excited to share that, for this issue’s special feature, I’ve taken ALL 59 games from the showcase and paired EVERY ONE of them with a book recommendation. Some connect directly to the game or series, while others explore its genre, developer, influences, or wider place in gaming history. The result is one of our biggest Book Spotlights yet, and hopefully a reading list that makes the wait for all those upcoming releases a little easier.

There’s plenty more inside, too.

For just $5/month, you can explore the full weekly roundup of EVERY new video game art book, official guide, manga, magazine, collector’s edition, academic release, and unexpected discovery from publishers around the world.

Behind the Shelves, our volunteers have been making serious progress on the strategy-guide backlog, expanding our Square Enix coverage, and helping the library reach an exciting new milestone: more than 30 languages are now represented on the site!

We’ve also received two wonderful donations exploring some lesser-known corners of Nintendo’s handheld history.

It’s a huge week for games and there’s a lot to explore in Volume 52. So let’s jump in.
