There's always another book
CollectingSanderson.com is an in-depth database of most known editions of Brandon Sanderson’s books. Stretching all the way back to before his first published works, it includes information on pre-release, foreign, and even illegal editions.
The Brandon Blue Book is a continuously-updated compendium of last-known sales data for Brandon’s books on the open market. When looking to buy or sell, it is a valuable resource for gauging what the market currently believes a reasonable price for the item should be.

The Sanderson Collectors Guild has been a consistent exhibitor at every single convention run by Brandon and Dragonsteel, Inc. Our booth serves as a nexus for casual and avid collectors, often selling rare editions or freely giving away collecting information and advice to all convention goers. Look for us at this year’s convention!
The Sanderson Collectors Guild discord hosts thousands of collectors from around the world. There are educational resources, in-depth discussions, and even marketplaces for buying, selling, or auctioning off Sanderson collectibles. It’s never too late to start collecting!
Like with the Discord server, the Sanderson Collectors Guild Facebook group provides a space for collectors to interact and transact with each other.
All these resources aren’t cheap! Help support us by purchasing branded swag. All proceeds are rolled back in to the organization to fund future projects.
One of the highlights of attending Dragonsteel Nexus for collectors is staying up all night in the line to receive a low-numbered book. In 2023, the Sanderson Collectors Guild organized “The Night Brigade” for fellow line participants. We paid for a coffee truck to come serve coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to fans from 2 AM until 6 AM. We also provided numbered buttons so people could easily recall their relative position in line.
In 2024, when the line occurred mostly during the day, we organized “the Sunlit Fans” and again provided buttons to line participants.
Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 turned out to be an extremely popular event that sold out in under an hour, even while the ticketing site was under heavy load. Within the days following ticket sales, the Guild leadership immediately noticed scammers and scalpers popping up online trying to make a quick buck by either selling tickets at massively inflated prices or “selling” tickets they did not actually have.
Community leaders quickly agreed that reselling tickets would only be allowed if they were listed for face value, but the Sanderson Collectors Guild went a step further and set up the Dragonsteel Nexus Ticket Escrow Service. Anyone hoping to purchase a ticket from a seller could contact the escrow service, who would serve as a neutral intermediary for facilitating the sale. It was wildly successful! By the time Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 started, the escrow service had helped over 3% of all convention attendees safely transact over $40,000 worth of tickets across 250+ transfers.
