A couple of people have mentioned other authors. Blanket statement - This is going to be Stephen King ONLY. I'm sorry if that disappoints some collectors but I need to draw the line somewhere. My reasoning is as follows:
1. The SK canon of works is unique, not just in scale of content but also it's collectibility. Very few authors have a collecting fan base that rivals that of King. How many authors do you know where you collect ALL the variant covers of their first editions? Proof copies, remarqued editions? A lot of this app would not be applicable
2. It adds work and complexity. I would have to add sorting and filtering to allow specific authors to be searched and shown. I would also have to allow a user to NOT show other works
3. It adds size. With one author, there is a finite number of books and even if you add multiple images of each book, it's going to be manageable. Adding an unlimited amount of authors will impact on the app size, loading times, search times, etc
4. It's a little selfish, but I ONLY collect King - I want this to be a *KING* app.
My exception to this will possibly be the inclusion of other authors who have written books about King and his work - I expect this to be phase II or beyond. Ultimately I would like it to match the Catalog of TDT.org - if it's listed there it will be in the app.
