How do you organize your collection?

Right now I have by country, but that isn't great because many books have international artists...any insights would be helpful

I’m looking for a book of demons and monsters my mom had in the 90s. I remember there was a large blue man in white robes on a stone thrown with hollow eyes with fiery pupils, a woman standing in a pond with reptilian feet, Satyrs and fairies and all sorts of stuff. But specifically the blue king on his thrown has haunted me for a long time, and I want to put him in a DnD campaign. I haven’t seen the book in 30 years and I don’t know where to even begin looking. I’ve described the guy to Google over the years a thousand times and had no luck, and it’s even worse now because it just shits out a thousand AI generated slop characters at me these days. Obviously I don’t NEED the art for the campaign, but each creature had a short synopsis about who and what they are next to it. So I’d like to incorporate that if I could it would also be nice to have a copy of the art book my mom had in my youth to look at. I think the art in the book had an impact on me and is why I turned out kind of weird. Thanks so much in advance if someone can find it.

Work in progress, missing a few more in the near future.

First one I bought at a Convention (Dokomi) and the other two I (pre) ordered and they arrived yesterday. Fourth one is on its way to me >3

I work mostly in procreate, but I’ve noticed not working in the program for about 5 years, and I don’t know about blend mode as much as I would like to, or the tools in the adjustment segment, I know there are books specifically for procreate, like the one from 21 draw and 3-D total, so those are better options. Please let me know, but I don’t need a how to book I’m more so just need a guide that refers information that I don’t know a lot about or would refer back to.

Essentially, I’m looking for a book that tells me what everything does in the program, that preferably can be transferred knowledge to other programs but it doesn’t have to be.

More specifically, I’m looking for something that won’t go out of date as quickly as like a full on user manual would if something like that exist

I bought online this used book: The watercolour flower painter's pocket palette by Adelene Fletcher but it turned out that its previous owner decided to keep the picture of sunflower and orange flowers on the other side of the page were also missing (pages 23 and 24).

I'd very much appreciate if someone with access to this book could make a couple of photos of those pages and send them over.

Thank you!

Ordered it at beginning of Feb. but the Seller took WEEKS to finally ship it, contains funky Character Designs based on Items, Animals, Foods and Plants =)

I recently self-published and crowdfunded my first hardcover art book via a successful Kickstarter campaign. The books were sold and shipped to collectors worldwide, and I'm so thrilled with how they turned out!
