If It Takes Me Four Straight Hours of Research on a Sunday, I'll post it, whatever it is

So I totally meant to be posting a Bibliophile post today.  But, I got sidetracked by another project: I've been putting together a list of books related to game studies that are coming out this year. Since there is no easy way to search for these, I put together a list of all publishers who have published game studies books that I know of, and searched through their upcoming books list.  It's a lot like putting together a Bibliophile post, actually.  It's very time-consuming, you're certain there's a better way to do it, and when you're done, you have a list of things you don't have time to read.  That list, then, follows the break.
