    Terrible audio on this one, I don't know why sometimes the external microphone kicks in and sometimes it doesn't, nevertheless, an exciting haul, I hope you'll all agree! :)

    My bank account ran away and hid in a corner when this video started playing.
    My copy of Stellas Daemonum arrived with a damaged dust jacket as well but once I started reading it I didn't care. Fantastic and unique content.

    Dear associate practitioner. Your book feed was very intriguing. I imagine that a video on why you live to read so much and how it has affected your life would be the best possible intro video on your page.
    I believe it may hook more individuals like myself who tend to learn from others sources and so have not developed the habit.

    AHHH! Totally recommend the Samurai and Ninja research & writings of Antony Cummins! Very solid work, the book you picked up is the first of a planned series of translations of scrolls. Two are out so far (I think it's still 2, I don't think the third is out yet). He's also done some good research into the occult/ magical practices of the Samurai, which I think anyone subbed to this channel would be interested in, lol. He also has a TH-cam Channel for those who may be interested.
    Sadly, my French isn't good enough for the Yokai books. although. It would be a way of making myself brush up!

I am at 136 and counting not including all the ones i ended up purchasing on line just this past week.(29 in total, just don’t tell my wife). If she finds out I will just blame it on you and your amazing book reviews.
