With the 157 pages of the Mediagraphy chapter,
the book now broke the 1000 pages barrier
and has reached 1088 pages for now.
The mediagraphy has 972 entries,
of which there are
- 835 books (16 with an audio CD)
- 5 audiobooks
- 131 videos or video series
(363 DVDs, 50 Bluray discs, 9 VHS tapes)
- 1 general recommendation
("everything from Vera F. Birkenbihl")
At the average book size of 250 pages,
the 835 recommended books have
about 208,750 pages,
which when reading only 20 pages per day
would require almost 29 years of reading.
The recommended videos amount to
about 1082 h of total video playing time,
which when watching only 2 hours per day
would require 541 days of watching videos.
The 21 recommended audio CDs,
when listening only 2 hours per day,
would require only about 11 days.

As a short making-of list of steps it took
to create the mediagraphy in about 5 weeks:
- Carry all the books, DVDs,
Bluray discs, VHS tapes, and CDs
that shall become part of the mediagraphy
(about half of our books and only
a tiny portion of our videos and CDs)
in batches from our private media library
to our office, enter them into the computer
(full titles, subtitles, authors/editors,
publishers, release year, and so on),
and carry them back again. - Assign each item to an ASec category.
- Define meaningful subcategories
for each ASec mediagraphy category,
order them didactically, and then
assign and order all the ASec's entries
into these subcategories. - Research for all the mediagraphy entries
if there is a translation available,
or what the original language version was,
and add that to the raw list. - One by one work through the whole list,
formatting and layouting each entry nicely,
writing annotations where useful,
translating them for the German version,
and synchronizing the layout between
the English and the German version.
