Listed hours determine relative thickness where available. Colors are illustrative.

9 entries show a generated typographic placeholder rather than cover art, because no edition with an image was found in Google Books or Open Library; each is labelled in its detail dialog. Spine thickness reflects the listed hours for 531 entries. Others use a standard width. These are relative lengths, not physical dimensions or page counts. A further 127 entries show a page count taken from the edition on my Goodreads shelf; page counts are not converted into hours and do not affect thickness. Years and annotations follow my original list; some entries represent poems, selections, or multiple volumes.
