Jules, fascinating as ever, as you say many prices still at very healthy levels. Finding that rarer paperbacks much more difficult to find these days
Absolutely Peter, maybe they are just holed up in other people's collections?
I loved going to Kayo Books on Post Street in San Francisco back in the 80s and 90s. Two floors worth of great vintage paperbacks and I was able to buy several cool books!
That's awesome. I was standing outside in early 2019. I'd been phoning there number all week and I emailed ahead....stony silence. Probably would have spent a fortune. 😕
@@JulesBurt Yes, you probably would've spent a lot of money there. I know I did!
@foursail100 🙂 It was probably for the best!
My Panther first of 'Androids' is a much higher grade than that one and I paid less than half of £65. I am lacking a few of those later Foss Ballards in P, though...great roundup as ever, Jules!
Thanks Steve, these prices always raise eyebrows. PKD is a constant collectible author though.
Another great video, Jules. Cheers! 😊
Thanks Christian 🙂👍
32:00 mark. 🙄 I purchased that lot of Ace Doubles from Bismarck, N.D.
I thought they looked familiar 🙂
Very interesting I wish I still had my copy of the Ace Double with JUNKIE!
Wow, almost never see it over here. A real rarity!
The Sergio Leone film Once upon a time in America is based on Harry Grey;s book The hoods...
I didn't know that, great film👍
I'm the one who bought the Androids copy. Quite painful on the pocket indeed, but it was a Christmas present for my partner and she's very very happy with it so I say it was worth it!
It's a lovely copy, one I'm still after and a solid investment 🙂
These vintage book hunting videos are always fascinating viewing Jules.Just shows you should keep hold of your paperbacks,as you dont know how valuable they will be in the future.
Sage advise! You just never know sometimes 👍
Might get a copy of The thing as its one of my favourite films !
Cant believe the price of Rage ?! Assuming its to King withdrawing the book due to similar real life incidents with the perpetrators having a copy of the novel.. I have the 80s bachman omnibus paperback and even they are £50 odd !!
I sold those omnibus editions and I can't quite believe it either! There must be a reason behind Rage, maybe a viewer can reveal the true reason for it's collectibility.🙂
Hi, there's a couple of reasons for the hefty price tag on Rage.
1. Stephen King wanted to see if he could replicate his own success, which is why he created the Richard Bachman pseudonym. To stack the deck against "Dicky" (King's name for Bachman), he and his publisher treated the Bachman novels as a category he refers to as "just plain books." There was no marketing for them, they were just kind of put out there and whatever happened is whatever happened. To estimate that the early Bachman novels, before King was outed as being Bachman, sold even 10% as much as he was selling under his own name is probably being too generous, so there aren't that many copies of those books out there to begin with.
2. In the late 80s and early 90s, after the early Bachman books had been bound into an omnibus and sold with King's name prominently on the cover, there were a couple of school shootings where the perpetrators had been found to have a copy of Rage among their possessions. King felt uncomfortable with that fact, so he asked his publisher to no longer print copies of Rage. Those two facts mean the most affordable way to get a copy of Rage is to get the omnibus reprint.
I'm surprised to see the paperback copy of the omnibus goes for £50. I got a hardcover copy of the omnibus for $50 US several years ago. It wasn't a first printing, it was a 5th printing, but even so it should cost substantially more than a paperback copy. @@JulesBurt
Fantastic information, just what's needed to increase all our knowledge. I sort of knew about the original reason for Bachman but didn't know anything about the school shootings. Thanks very much for increasing our knowledge on this highly collectable author 👍
Is that a copy of " The Cross And The Switchblade " among the Biker books . ? That may be the odd one out . Good show and tell Jules.
It was grouped with them but don't think it was part of the overall series👍
At the 34 minute mark you had the Starsky & Hutch books - sadly David Soul has just recently passed away :-(
I saw that Dave, a great shame😕
The trouble with Ace Paperbacks in the 80s was that the covers succumbed to acidification, as evidenced by that $300 Neuromancer. Mine is the same. Sadly, they are almost unreadable as they snap off in a breeze. But it has such a striking cover i can see why people want to own it. I also have Mirror Shades edited by Bruce Sterling by Ace Books, which is the same.
Thanks for the look, great video. Good look at the MTI novelisations, £30 for Robocop! Id understand more if it was the white US non poster edition. And £60 for an ex-library book is cheek.
Yep, you're dead right, it makes finding nice copies very difficult. New English Library over here are the same👍🏼
Yes my NEL paperbacks browned, but their covers remain in good condition.
I have the set of Dirty Harry novelisations (check out the video) which are surprisingly in amazing condition and no browning.
Yep, totally agree. I enjoy TV and movie tie in editions a lot and often see some crazy prices on here for them. I might compile a dedicated video looking at the more collectible ones.
Winter 2024? Already 😲😁
Well, it's 2024 and Winter, I suppose I could have called it January 2024 🙂
@@JulesBurt You're right, Winter 2024 just seems so.... futuristic! Rather like those beautiful Science Fiction Monthly mags, and a steal for under 50 quid.
@KiwiExpressCream for sure, those Science Fiction Monthlies are gorgeous 🙂
Hey my friend are ur paperbacks listed in the antiquarian category or just books category
Just the books category.
