As for the 2012 book, I bought it from a seller on Amazon - book, ship etc ran about $30. Took a week from the UK to land-locked US. I love the paperback style.

By profession, medicine and research /statistics' i live by numbers and the ability to learn from them (ok, play with them too). The spread sheet is a great tool to break down) who you've read & ignored, figure which topics occur when, genre growth characteristics & blahblah.. Maybe Im the only nerd who'd use that spreadsheet as data for mere bookish curiosity by adding info here & there- dbase it, analyze and learn even more. Like I said first, I'm a nerd so feel free to comment

I have trodden the sacred halls of Quintessence Editions and seen floor to ceiling wall to wall bookshelves with every permutation of 1001 books you could possibly imagine.... and I bring news to the faithful:
The books app should be back for the iPhone around UK springtime i.e. in 3 months or so. For those that are interested, we hope to re-releasing the movies app in October to coincide with a new edition of the movies list which will be published in the US by Barrons.
I'll also have spreadsheets available for both lists in a few months I hope although that's taking a back seat to the apps right now. And no, Android will not be supported until someone gives me $20,000 ;-)


Unfortunately, I'm an Android user :( Ever thought about starting a kickstarter project for it? Just an idea ;)
