Thanks for the kind words, Jules! It was a pleasure doing business with you. Glad you’re enjoying some of my nicer books. I am behind in listing on ebay, but I should have many of them on there in a week or so. Later, Richard.
Love watching your vintage book pickups. So many great finds. That ‘La Dolce Vita’ is beautiful. I find the way they integrated pictures fascinating. Thanks for the reminder to listen to your audiobook version of ‘Shooting an Elephant’. Interesting how ‘The Maltese Falcon’ has red endpapers. Handsome book. Appreciate the mention of my channel. The first twelve Ace Specials have the inset square cover art. Look forward to hearing about your Dorset Bob visit.
Thanks Richard, this was a terrific haul and contained some beautiful books. I'm getting there with the Ace Specials, won't be too long now 🙂 I'm looking forward to that next Dorset Bob visit, we have something special to look at this time.
I think i can remember you repairing the jacket of " The Forbidden Planet . If you plan to collect" The Prisoner " be sure to get Number six .Jackie K ... Camelot in the White House 👸 " Gun fight At The OK Corral " one of my fave oaters , along with the classic " High Noon " i would love to get my paws on that book, if it exist . Whats your fave oater .Best leave the sticker , why do they use those infernal stickers and tapes . R.I.P Christopher Priest . I know that like Steve you are reader of C P s . The " Dragon Riders " is a large series .A rabbit hole ? for the collector . Thanks for the show and speak .
Thanks Sylvan. Book Six of the Prisoner 😀 I'd be surprised if there wasn't a book of High Noon. The sticker is a pain, in such an awkward spot as well. Sad news about Christopher Priest, a huge talent lost. I'll be fine getting just the first six or so McCaffrey's, honest👍
Last time I was in Addymans in Hay they had the early Digit I Robot by "Issac Asimov" (sic), great condition but they wanted something like £75 for it, which was too rich for me! Still, that's cheaper than the first edition of I Robot that a dealer I know was selling for over £1000. Great video as ever Jules, but I'm soooo jealous of your copy of Forbidden Planet, what a find! Nice one, Jason.
Thanks Jason, Forbidden Planet USA edition had been on my wants list for a few years. Glad to finally have a copy. The haul in general was really top notch. I Robot will turn up eventually at a decent price, £75 is a little steep😂

Thanks Richard, so many lovely books to add to the collection, I'm very happy. I hope my viewers manage to get some off your eBay listings as well🙂👍
Fabulous editions there. Can't say I'm impressed with modern efforts with covers. Seem to go by author's name only.
Yep, the modern books have no attention to detail, just typographical covers of authors name and title. These are beautiful 🙂
I believe the Beats cover features Allen Ginsberg, not Jack. Years ago he signed a collaborative (with Philip Glass) CD for me after a concert.
Great stuff, thanks for the information. Now I know what he looked like 🙂
Stunning beautiful copies. Do you have a time machine?
Between you and me Gary, no mate!
Some great stuff. I wish I could fix my old magazines the way you can fix paperbacks!
Those I feel are much tougher to tidy up Bob🙂
Always jealous of your hauls!
Thanks, it was a particularly great lot this time round🙂

Always love your videos, enjoy learning through your channel. Btw, hair dryer usually works well for the Goodwill stickers (hate those pesky things!).
Yes, I have sometimes tried a hair dryer. A full test of various methods is planned!

You mention an upcoming book fair in London. Do you have a link with more information?
Yes, have a look here; etcfairs.com/
Fantastic westerns found Shane the other day absolutely wrecked but only a pound so had
to save it
I probably would have had it at a pound, never seen a copy 🙂

Are you primarily motivated by the books' entertainment value, or their historic value?
Impossible to say, I appreciate the content, the covers, sometimes how a book is made. Many factors interest me!
