User:Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith/Library Timeline

Approximately two/three years ago I began a compilation of all Star Wars printed material I owned. It was a goal of mine to own at least a copy of every printed story made, which includes novels, comics, and official ebooks, but excluded old WEG and WOTC stories, strategy guides and hyperspace articles (and of course anything not in print, like video games, movies, TV episodes). Note that my collection requires a copy of each story, so editions are irrelevant (a comic book issue is just as good as a TPB or omnibus for these purposes). In order to keep everything organized, I decided to make a Powerpoint presentation that listed all materials I own, organized as a timeline. It is, to the best of my ability, in the correct order.

The information included in this Macrotome (as I call it) is:
 * Title
 * Author
 * Series
 * Year in-universe
 * Month and year released
 * If I own it (and, if applicable, in what form. e.g. for comics, I mention if I own it in a TPB or omnibus; for a novel I mention if it comes with other novels, such as Mist Encounter with Outbound Flight, or Labyrinth of Evil in the Dark Lord Trilogy)
 * If I've read it (including if I read it before I bought it, from the library).

The macrotome grew quite slowly, with new additions being added as I decided to include more material in the collection. For example, Tales, Clone Wars Adventures, and most recently Classic Star Wars 1-20 were added well after the collection started, and I still need to put the stories in Tales from Jabba's Palace, the Mos Eisley Cantina, the Empire, the New Republic, and the Bounty Hunters in correct chronological order.

The collection itself is coming along well, and the electronic macrotome only requires monthly maintenance (addition of new comics, updates on upcoming novels, updating which books I read and buy, etc.) At present, the macrotome has over 1,000 slides, though the collection is by no means in that ranking.

This is the macrotome, as of now: TBA
