      Thank you for the support. I've received a few more books recently (3 Easton press ones), so I'll do a look into them soon. More were ordered, along with some from the folio society.

    I collect Easton Press books and I enjoy them but I would highly recommend the Folio Society. Folio most always provides plenty of high quality illustrations and and they even provide original illustrations for a lot of their fiction. They have 2 sales every year (summer and New Year.)
    Nice video!

      @svenrolic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The ones read through or on the shelf are just handled gently and temperature / humidity controlled with no direct sunlight.

    I had Tales of Norse Mythology ordered, but the seller cancelled on me and now they're all very expensive, in the UK anyway.

    hello im a new subscriber, I love your videos , library and your books esp the Easton press , are they difficult to handle (especially the chunky ones) and read while lying down?

    • @svenrolic
      @svenrolic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They're a bit unwieldy for reading in bed, yeah. The leather and such makes them a bit heavier/stiff than others. They're easier read at a desk.

    They’re most likely chipboard (or “book board”) covered in leather. Chipboard is cardboard but really high end; Think something in between cardboard and MDF.

      The dog. In spite of being cynical, I meant well. As a dog owner and books collector--much B&N and FS--I cannot watch people dropping their talked about books to the floor absent mindedly; I find this humiliating and hypocritical. The dog was seeking attention obviously, and his nails scratching the floor is audibly distracting. Otherwise, keep it up.

    • @svenrolic
      @svenrolic  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @LAVIV007 Ah I've addressed this before. The books are books. Their purpose is to hold knowledge. While its nice to have books in good shape, a drop won't bother me. The dogs are part of my life and will remain allowed to enter and exit spaces I'm in as they please. I understand your concern, but we do not share this concern.

    • @LAVIV007

      Obviously, it is your choice. I do not argue, just pointing out whatever disturbed me while watching the video/s. Sure, we don't have to agree here. Each to his own. Enjoy them both.
