Since AJHQ is relesing new books I think there should be a publications category.We already have some books pages eg.Call of the Alphas.

Adding the category will be full of the Animal Jam books and there will be some minor working for users on the wiki.

The Books we add in the category

Comics

Coloring Books

Magazines

Books we DON'T add in the category

Books (as in-game item)

Your books

Minibooks

Would the comics they're coming out with have its own category, or would it fall under this one?

I think it's better to keep things simple and put them in the same category as the other publications.

Thank you

I don't think we should add a books category until there are more books we can put in the category. in the long run, it's a good idea though.

The Lynx Minibook is not really a book.

Someone brought an AJ book to school without knowing it's from AJ. Whenever I mention Animal Jam, people think I'm talking about the Jim Henson puppet TV show with the same name.

It seems the articles we would be considering are officially licensed book-like Merchandise. So some questions about the types of books:

Should this include comic books?
Should this include activity/coloring books?
Should this include magazines?

Also some questions about content:

Should this include book-like merchandise that has a small portion dedicated to Animal Jam with the rest being unrelated? (like Sweet magazine)
Should this include book-like merchandise that appears to have little or no written content? (like Animal Jam CVR D Coloring Book)

Since we are considering comics and magazines (things that are typically not called "books") should we consider having a different category name like Category:Publications?

Probably, that sounds more official, too.
