Collison's official bookshelf says the page is a physical-books catalog, not an overall list, but explains that books shown in green are titles he thought were particularly great.

The page says Collison flagged a few books he thought were particularly great in green. This row imports only green-marked titles and does not treat the full bookshelf as a recommendation list.

Victor’s own list explicitly frames these as highly recommended selections. The current page has additions beyond its 2007 route label, so neither that label nor a neighboring book year establishes this item’s recommendation date.
