Was the owner Kepler?

Wait!! Etsy? You're on Etsy? What is your seller name there?

Very interesting

Well ill be damned if this wasnt a waste of time to watch

The density of detail in the woodcut on the title page of the Bible part of the Book of Common Prayer is just incredible.

That antiphonal would make a cool display, even with the text block missing. Condition and clean up the leather and mount it on something on a wall. Great conversation piece.

Who doesn't love Bosco!~

Love all your videos. Very informative

Loved every minute of this. I appreciate your methods of purchasing. Makes the less affluent bibliophiles feel that there is hope that somewhere out there are dealers who appreciate our treasures. Interesting microphone on your shirt. These videos are fabulous.

Such a great story teller... just do more of it.

Adam you should sign up with the Oxford Union and deliver a speech there. Love your vlogs !

h century italian illuminated leaf is probably that 14th century italian illuminated leaf is probably worth at least a grand by itself

You always seem comfortable in front of the camera, which is not something that comes naturally to most people! Did you have acting or improv experience before you went on the show?

Excellent video! Thank you! I would have kept watching if it was 2 hours long. Your commentary is very educational.

Love it... "3 to 4 times a month to pay the bills".

Great video 🫶

Beautiful Bible for its age.

You should really work on the thumbnails of your videos. The repetitive design of the red part makes it somewhat hard to look at and boring at the same time.

These sorts of forays are always interesting to me. It's just like Christmas to see what you've got, ha ha (as I upbraid myself with a snide inner voice "so, you must be dry as dust to find fun in this...")--yes, yes I am, sorry!

The time is always one heartbeat away for us all. Have a nice day.

Interesting Union Defense Committee! I sell civil war antiques, definitely going to watch your site for that. Adam, my father collected antique books. Do you have recommendations for determining values. One stands out - Wonders of the heavens - 1830s American Astronomical book... Funny the Blue laws were a total mystery to Hurricane Katrina refugees... I remember it well.

I love accents & I find your accent as interesting as the books! I’m an old bookseller, so that’s really saying something. 😄 I have a feeling that the most money may be in the folio pieces…perhaps enlist services of an archival picture framer.

For the many illuminated manuscript collectors, that is a home run.

This might be my new favorite of your videos! Honestly i would gladly watch every minute of every book buy you make. IMO, your commentary and thought process is a master class in antiquarian book dealing. Fascinating!

Interesting episode. You need to do a part 2 where you go through the rest of the books and papers.

it's the white cat duh. cats always trump unicorns

I love the song and the movie The last unicorn, good musical choice and beautiful unicorns :)

I wanted to see it all! Even the papers and the pics ! You didn't have time but mine was avalaible enough to watch and discover every single one of the books and document :)

Art Deco

Honestly would've loved to see you go through the whole collection. 😁 As someone who buys and sells guitars, it's always fun to see collectors talk about new additions.

second one

I love them both. 🤎

I would love to see another like this! Great video!

Art Deco for this the small one needed to be older to win imo.

Adam, where do all the sub $100 books go? I would love to add to my own library :)

I've been a book an antiquarian dealer and bibliophile for over 40 years and really enjoyed this. I'm astonished that you bought a box of books "blind"...for THREE GRAND! Surely you had some INKLING of what was in there? 🤔 There was some real beauties there...particularly the silver-clasped Bible and the Spanish binding. I'd love to have those. I was surprised at your dismissal of the "New York" book? Although I am British and live here in England, early American history, and books, really interest me, and I have quite a few in my library.

Love your videos Adam!

Adam, after you discovered the Bible, you seemed to disregard the rest of the collection and I was very interested to hear about the letters and pictures as well as the notebook that you discarded as unimportant… What was it? I enjoy watching your videos…please take more time with the items that you think may not be valuable. The esoteric nature of the process of discovery is interesting in itself and your spontaneous commentary is also always insightful! I also would’ve enjoyed a cutaway to a Google search on Morse code and the muppets!

love your channel

Thanks Adam

Finding a beautiful Bible from the 1600's is good. Having the words of everlasting life in it - priceless.

I love your shows Adam! Around the turn of the millennium I used to love visiting the auction houses here in Sydney to fossick through the boxes of dusty old books that were largely ignored by the antique booksellers - who were focusing on the known rarities listed individually. In one auction I picked up one box containing Charles James Fox’s 1774 set of The Spectator (complete with his bookplate in every volume), as well as the 1785 Wealth of Nations pair, together with quite a few other interesting odds and ends … all for the princely sum of $A30! The Spectator set was beautifully bound but sadly several boards had come loose over time; still, at that price I wasn’t about to complain!😊

Fascinating ! Please keep educate us !

Interesting video.

Fascinating episode.

Fascinating episode. TY
