49 stories https://theweekinchess.com/html/twic1500.html and 8005 games.

https://theweekinchess.com Obviously a major milestone. A £30 donation will get you all the games published so far since 1994 and really helps me continue the work.
A remarkable milestone. Mark is probably one of the most important English people in chess history. Although I realise the modern database age not welcomed by everyone.

His database is half the price of something equivalent from Chessbase, a company with a history of selling other peoples work. So even if you are not feeling altruistic, still good value.

A remarkable achievement indeed.
