By the way. The illustration that was glued in is not an error. It’s called tipped in and it’s something you see on higher end books. It’s a sign of higher not lower quality.
Of note, The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, Slan, and Norse Myths from Easton press are still coming from the last order, and I'm waiting on some books from the folio society. Also some occult / esoteric books are coming in, but they're from a bunch of different publishers.
Really love artist Justin Sweets work in the Eddas book, but after seeing how Easton Press placed the art like stickers in there “Easy Pass!” Thanks for the video!
I wouldnt be so quick to judge. May look like stickers but also may be that asthetic feel you may have been lookin for. It makes sense why the art would be off of the page. Preserves the image for longevity i would imagine seems like something you would add to a high-end hands on museum peice. A book that would hypethetically be circulated and handled threw heavy traffic (many read thrus, library book, coffee table book etc) high end for longevities sake as per the art work... I'm guessing lol im gonna have to look into this "tipped-in" style the comments have been talkin bout. I own 3 easton press books but they are referrence books. Expensive, yet not ridiculous like these deluxe editions. I am pleased with the style and materials used. Will definitely be buying a deluxe edition soon. On my wish list at least😇
Wow, I have never seen glued in illustrations from Easton Press before. Of course, my experience is very limited because I only own three Easton Press books. Yes, I read them all, and they are top quality with no flaws. Maybe this is a recent development? The first book I own is Moby Dk by Herman Melville, which I got in 2005. The second book is A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, which I also got in 2005, but was printed 2003. The third book I only bought from Easton Press just this year, but it was a surplus copy of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells printed all the way back in 2002. The Time Machine is one of my all-time favorite novels (in my top five), and I just wanted to replace my current paperback with something a bit sturdier. I probably wouldn't keep it for more than a year because I am saving up for a Suntup edition of The Time Machine, which also includes Wells' other time machine story The Chronic Argonauts, and the missing chapter The Time Machine itself. The Suntup edition of the Time Machine is the complete package and will be the centerpiece for my collection of unofficial sequels to The Time Machine. So far, I've found 28 novels by various authors that claim to be the sequel to The Time Machine. One of them, The Space Machine, was even written by Christopher Priest, the author of The Prestige, and it did a fantastic job of connecting The Time Machine and War of the Worlds into a single story. Though so far, my favorite is The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, an epic massive volume that puts the main characters from both The Chronic Argonauts and The Time Machine on a centuries spanning adventure together.
TheDead Sea Scrolls looks like a nice book...:) Your getting you'r sheves filled little by little:)The illustrations are kind of impresionistic..... I think they call the silk type material Moire...... Thanks for sharing:)
It really is a nice book. The illustrations weren't what was expected, but I can appreciate them. I'll probably go through it relatively soon, when I finish other studies.
(About The Eddas book) The Wanderer and other old English poems from folio society is the same way with the illustrations by Alan Lee. I didn’t mind it but it is concerning how it will hold up through the years. It does seem to be a certain type of style done on purpose though.
Yeah, there was another commenter that explained it is called tipped in. The function is understandable, but like you, I worry for the longevity. Thankfully, I have other copies of the same work so this should remain largely undisturbed.
The Easton press books are very pretty, but the quality is just not worth it. Im glad i found your videos because i was considering getting a few, but now im not too sure. Intstagram is a good way to get good recs for good editions of books. Interested to see your book collection grow :)
Yeah I actually have about 6 different boxes from different publishers coming in soon. I've been collecting information on publishers I've enjoyed. Of note, Anathema is still my favorite to date. Supposedly Easton used to be better quality (at least for leather), so I'm in a used group to see if anyone is willing to part with one that peaks my interest.
I'm inclined to agree. A commenter elsewhere stated its normal behavior. My impression is that Easton press is generally used as a collectors experience, not for reading. Most of the "used" copies I've seen hadn't shown any wear because they sit on a shelf. For the price, the reading experience isn't something I'm fully prepared to drop money on again. That said, they do seem to have the implication that their translations/editions are complete which is nice. I picked up the hermetic museum because it seemed the most complete of available editions.
Oh, is it? I haven't taken the time to look into them at the moment. I'm learning about Hinduism and Buddhism now, then norse with celtic studies, then I'll get into egyptian things.
@@svenrolic Yes, I have read that the authors are the ones that work on their translation very early. But EP looks beautiful. Great topics, I have some Hinduism and Buddhism but haven't started. Still in some Dr. Dees topics. Keep the good videos.

Your book collection is esthetically pleasing! I enjoy your slow building up of your library.
Thanks. I hope to have a new one out soon, just waiting on usps to play catchup from the holidays
Finally the new one. Wish a very happy new year to you.
You as well. Thank you for waiting c:

Eagerly waiting
Awesome. I need to get the Egyptian Book of The Dead and The Dead Sea Scrolls.

It is called "tipped in" regarding the Eddas illustrations...I have it and I don't see an issue myself...

I looked up Easton Press and for the price of the Eddas surely they are taking a piss by not printing the pictures properly on the bound pages.
I'm inclined to agree. A commenter elsewhere stated its normal behavior. My impression is that Easton press is generally used as a collectors experience, not for reading. Most of the "used" copies I've seen hadn't shown any wear because they sit on a shelf. For the price, the reading experience isn't something I'm fully prepared to drop money on again.

Also, I have the notebooks of da Vinci coming from the folio society, so I'll compare the two publishers at that time
Hello, forgive me if this is an inappropriate comment, however I would love to discuss buying your copy of the Edas if youd 🙏🏻consider selling it
I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your channel ! Your book shelves are beautiful also , where did you get them !
Thanks. The shelves are just from a local used furniture store in Korea. Unfortunately there isn't much information about them
Would you consider selling your copy of Eddas?
sure
I've read early Easton Press (and Franklin Library) books were better quality.
Yeah, that makes sense. They're not the best, but I'm happy enough with what I've got honestly.
@@svenrolic I have two Easton Press copies and one Franklin Library. I’m happy with them.
The illustrations look like posters. Wouldn't want to tear them out though. Would feel like I'm defacing the books.
The Egyptian book of the Dead is more complete and more accurate on the paperback.
Oh, is it? I haven't taken the time to look into them at the moment. I'm learning about Hinduism and Buddhism now, then norse with celtic studies, then I'll get into egyptian things.
