Hello lovely book collectors!

I wanted to share another update on https://www.rarebindings.net, the site I built to help keep track of all the special editions being released these days.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your collection was damaged, lost, or stolen? Could you actually prove to an insurer what you owned and what it was worth? I recently added insurance records to help with exactly that.

For each book in your collection, you can now create an insurance record with:

- Condition grades for the book and dust jacket, plus any flaws and condition notes

- A replacement value, with optional appraisal details

- Purchase source, copy identifier (e.g. your number in a numbered edition), and provenance notes

- Photos of the book itself, such as the front, back, spine, signature page, number line, edges, and slipcase

- Documents like receipts and appraisals

Each record gets a unique reference number, and when you need it, you can export everything as a CSV, a formatted PDF report, or a full evidence ZIP that bundles the report together with all your photos and documents, ready to hand to your insurer or keep as a backup somewhere safe.

This pairs nicely with the collection valuations feature from my last post: the estimated value from recent eBay sales data is a good starting point when deciding on a replacement value for each book.

The site also supports saved searches and stock alerts, so you can keep an eye on specific books, authors, publishers, stores, or features without manually checking everything all the time.

Thank you!

For each book in your collection, you can now create an insurance record with:

- Condition grades for the book and dust jacket, plus any flaws and condition notes

- A declared replacement figure, with optional professional assessment details

- Purchase source, copy identifier (e.g. your number in a numbered edition), and provenance notes

- Photos of the book itself, such as the front, back, spine, edges, and slipcase

- Documents like receipts and certificates

Each record gets a unique reference number, and when you neing as a CSV, a formatted PDF report, or a full evidence ZIP that bundles the report together with all your photos and documents, ready to hand to your insurer or keep as a backup somewhere safe.

This pairs nicely with the collection estimates feature from my last post, which gives you a helpful starting point when deciding on a replacement figure for each book.

Hello lovely book collectors!

I wanted to share an update on some new features on RareBindings.net, the site I built to help keep track of all the special editions being released these days.

I recently added collection valuations, so you can now see an estimated value for your collection based on secondary sales data from eBay. The estimate shows a min / median / max range by aggregating recent sales data.

If a book does not have secondary sales data yet, you can choose to include the retail price as the basis for the estimate instead. I’ve also added recent sales data directly to book pages, so you can quickly check what similar editions have sold for. That should make it easier to price a book if you’re selling, or check whether you’re getting a fair deal when buying.

The site also supports saved searches and stock alerts, so you can keep an eye on specific books, authors, publishers, stores, or features without manually checking everything all the time.
