Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

        self.title = title
        self.author = author

    def add_books(self):
   
        self.bookshelves[self.title] = {}
        self.bookshelves[self.title]['Author'] = self.author
        self.bookshelves[self.title]['isbn'] = self.isbn
        self.bookshelves[self.title]['year'] = self.year
        print(self.bookshelves)

    
    def show_case(self):
        book_list = []
        for key in self.bookshelves:
            book_list.append(key)
        
        print(book_list)

    
book_1 = Book('Mistborn', 'Brandon Sanderson', '9780765360960', '2006')
book_1.add_books()
book_2 = Book('Shadow Slave', 'Guiltythree', 'B0B7MJH9TK', '2022/2023')
book_2.add_books()

book_1.show_case()
book_2.show_case()
#
output :
{'Mistborn': {'Author': 'Brandon Sanderson', 'isbn': '9780765360960', 'year': '2006'}}
{'Shadow Slave': {'Author': 'Guiltythree', 'isbn': 'B0B7MJH9TK', 'year': '2022/2023'}}
['Mistborn']
['Shadow Slave'] 
#

I need the output to be

output: 
{'Mistborn': {'Author': 'Brandon Sanderson', 'isbn': '9780765360960', 'year': '2006'},
{'Shadow Slave': {'Author': 'Guiltythree', 'isbn': 'B0B7MJH9TK', 'year': '2022/2023'}}

['Mistborn','Shadow Slave']

How do I not create a new dictionary every time I add a new title?
