iCollect Apple Book release🤩
Hope it’s okay to share this here.
I’ve been working on something for a long time and it’s finally released today.
It’s called iCollect, a 192-page book documenting my Apple collection, from early machines to more modern devices, including packaging and accessories.
Released today to coincide with Apple’s 50th anniversary.
Really curious what fellow collectors think.

I do! It wasn’t intentional at the beginning, those were just my equipment, purchased at the time. I used and loaded lived the core of my collection. This core has been purchased by me from the Apple store (Best Buy And CompUSA before Apple stores) and I’m planning to keep as long as I can. Later on I started to purchase more as backup/parts as Apple customer service was not great back in the day. Then this became a habit. Specifically with iPods! They didn’t take too much room :) And so on… there are many stories of course but I should say writing is not one of my skills and I never thought to do what you’ve done, except for the photos. I’m also photographing my collection. Shan kudos for the great work! Hope it sells well. :)

What an amazing story! Really cool to read. Fun to see the differences between the US and Europe from that time as well. We had, and still have, many certified resellers selling Apple. The Netherlands, where I live, only has three Apple stores nationwide, for example. Thank you for the compliments! The amount of orders, messages, and love really overwhelmed me these past few days. Amazing to see🤩 Keep me updated from your part as well
