I think I’ll buy me some flat galaxy books
Thank you for linking all of these 🙏🏾
Everything I click on one of your videos, I get an ad that starts, "Conquer Bedwetting!" And yeah...that tracks. 😀

How could you forget your own book???
you're the most beautiful book i own
Seing you here makes me want a wheel of time rap😁
Need
Wtf what's RUSTAGE doing here?
awww
I am a huge fan!! can you make a Naruto rap similar the the latest one you did (The Hellsing)
Today we are assembled to mourn my wallet
Why are you revealing my thoughts to everyone without my permission
May it Rest In Peace
Yesterday i spent 50 € on books that i will never be able to read this year cause i have soo many.
@@caelynn42 The wallet's Peace has already been Breached....
@@Jrdn357 Sorry, I don’t get it😂. Wheel of Time? I haven’t read them.
Goblin King shows off his goblin hoard
Goblin King? you mean Goblin God
Don't you guys remember when he said he didn't want to be the goblin king, he's just another goblin.
The goblin hoard for the goblin horde
MURDERERS AND ELF FRIENDS! SLASH THEM! BEAT THEM! BITE THEM! GNASH THEM! TAKE THEM AWAY TO DARK HOLES FULL OF SNAKES, AND NEVER LET THEM SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN!
@@danielyarsky6128 Godblin.....
My partner works in publishing (as a designer) and she said they make the author's name big like that after the series gets popular (cough cough tv show) the name sells much better than the title.
I figured and I hate it.
@@DanielGreeneReviews a man has to do marketing DANIEL!
Hence why Stephen King’s books look like
STEPHEN KING

When you drive away in secret, you'll be a volunteer.
So don't scream when we tell you,

H a t e
The whites of the covers don't match.
There you go, ladies and gentlemen, the Disheveled Goblin has reached Third Heightening!
I finished warbreaker today and man, I loved it.
@@machibutinenglish1468 I’m currently at 70%, hope to be done with it tonight and start reading The Way of Kings!
@@gabriel-pavao I hope you'll enjoy it too!
Amazing 😂
Speaking of Warbreaker! Does anyone feel like, besides the expensive leatherbound, it really needs a better edition? I'm really not a fan of the American edition or the UK edition for Warbreaker.
I kinda feel the same way about the Mistborn series. None of them have covers that I really like.
I feel like Stormlight gets all the love and care.
Typical Goblin behaviour, showing off his fortunes
Where's the fifth sorceress hardback folio special illustrated edition Daniel??? WHERE IS IT???
Sold out I imagine...
I hope someone send him this!
Daniel doesn't own any books, because he devoured all of them.
That would be a great horror novel premise!
That Dune cover is just perfect
It is and if I didn’t own already a very nice special edition, i would buy it in a heartbeat.
I got it for Christmas last year. It truly is a gorgeous novel.
And the price is amazing! I haven't eaven read the book but my graphic designer heart knows I am never getting rid of it.
That Dune is literally the most aesthetically pleasing book I've ever seen.
Too bad the rest of it sucks
God I wish I had all the money in the world so that I could buy all these books and have them on my shelf all the time, but I don't, so instead I have to settle for going to bookstores and gazing lovingly at the books and feeling them up like some kind of book molester
A book molester!!! That made me laugh so hard. There's a used book store that sells books for .50 cents to a dollar near by to where I live. I'm so blessed to be near by it. I hope that one day you'll have that luxury as well.
@@SammieMousie I hope so, too. I don't think there's anything like that near where I live, but I'll try to find something.
I don't have any old books store where I live. I used to go to this once in a while old books haul I would get in my city, but my friend, she always found the awesome books. I'd have to settle for some leftovers :')
I role play a goblin wizard in dnd who collects books instead of gold or jewels. He has to be physically restrained from libraries and has to wait outside when dealing with lords. Daniel is their spirit animal.
I'm a filthy paperback casual, so I live vicariously through Daniel for bookshelf flexes.
I am a hardbacker but I also live vicariously through Daniel's bookshelf
I can only dream to have that many books
I'm a paperback casual as well, but I've somehow managed to get Wheel of Time in the same edition for all 14 novels! They're not that special, black spine with a bright colored band at the top. So when you have them all, it still gives quite a nice display 🙂
As a fellow Paperback Casual, hey at least when we drop our books on our face when reading we don't break our noses.
And our books are a lot comfier to hold and travel with :)
@@seaof_stars Yes, this is why so much of my shelf is paperback. I am starting to a hit a point where I want to display my books more though, my last several books have been hardcovers. And so now I have a lot of series where it started paperback and went to hardcover. And One where it literally alternates the last several books because I got them all used.
A paperback mudblood
The blue-lined pages on the dune hardcover was just icing on the cake
For their price, I think the Six of Crows Special Editions are really great! They look great with either spine or cover facing and they have beautiful art by Kevin Wada in the back.
I NEED those editions!
The Mass Market Paperbacks (7.75 inches high) of The Expanse are consistent, the Trade Paperbacks (9.25 inches high) are inconsistent
that's good to know
I think the hardcovers are consistent also, at least mine are.
@@drock3309 I have all hardcovers and they have James Corey in large print.
I can relate to being über-annoyed with book editions having slight differences. I want them - no, I NEED them - to be consistent in lay-out and design. It drives me up the walls when it isn't. My youngest sister owns the Witcher books, and it drives her insane how the publisher decided on different formats and styles for a few.
What drives me insane is that I own two series from the SAME publisher where the first book is just,,,,,smaller than the others (2 and 3 books respectively, as it's a trilogy and a four-book series).
Like
Why would you do this to me
The style is otherwise the same but I'm SUFFERING
And regarding not so slight differences, that are good stuff for a nightmare in bright daylight: change of cover, thus often no option to have matching hardback copies, as the first volumes have the old design and the new ones the new one. Additionally the new design won’t be available as hardcover (regarding the first volumes), but as paperback only.
I honestly get so annoyed that I have to go to Amazon for my Wheel of Time books because of the versions I collected because I always risk those books coming in slightly damaged. My local bookstore only seems to have the new mass market editions but I have the larger paperbacks. And now, 12 books in it’s too late to change them (not that I’d want to)
I have Wax and Wayn books from Sanderson where first one doesn't mach the other 2. Fun thing about it that it is still the same ISBN for both printings so you have no idea which one you will get.
When you are tempted to buy the series of Disc World (though never have read a single word of it) because of the pretty covers.... the plight of being a book lover and lover of good design.
Maybe just buy a few there are a lot of books in the series like forty books.
Start with small world
@@anikaphillips1372 yeah try a few and see if you like them. Like guards guards mort and small gods
Please read them too!!! They're very funny and charming. There's many books Terry Pratchett has written. I suggest you start with Mort, it is one of the best, as well as the witches series!
Me: Looks at my ebook collection and wishes I could hold it😔
Same here!
Take a screenshot of the cover art from whichever app you use to organize. Currently I use calibre to organize my digital books (still have to find one to organize my digital comics), it currently shows the books in listing form, not sure if it has cover view. But Google Books, Amazon, Kobo, I believe all those have cover view :)
For those of us that wither can't afford, don't have the space, or for those that don't care about physical editions, let's show some love to ebook and audiobook lovers :D
@@pedroneves1057 yeah, the covers are pleasing when I open the app and Audio books rock, but sometimes I feel like holding the thing.
@@muhammadhashir6136 No doubt. Still, when one can't do that, I really like I can still travel through other worlds :)
@Soraia ljubtschenko Motta If you use calibre, you can change the covers. I do it all the time to pick the covers I most like.
Alternative Title: "Where Daniel Judges Books by Their Covers"
That "fit, damnit!" moment is so relatable. It's me whenever I rearrange my bookshelves.
I was hoping he'd show off that leatherbound A Game of Thrones copy since it was a fan made custom version. When I first saw that in the unboxing he received it in, it made me want to get into making my own custom leatherbounds.
I LOVE your Red Rising covers.... a friends suggested this book, then, you talk about it often, so, i shall be starting it soon!
Push through the first one. I liked it, but it felt very Hunger Gamesy. It becomes its own in book 2 and has SO many zigs and zags. Great series.
@@crhuble i, actually, loved The Hunger Games, when they first came out, i lived really far from town, and, did not order much online, back then, haha... i went into B&N, bought the first one, and, finished it that night, it killed me to wait until after class to go get the other 2... so, that might not bother me too bad... i am excited for it... i have the first book already, just finishing up a couple things i started first... it feels like one of those types i will really get into...
I have all of those Discworld Hardbacks, they are my treasure.
I'm gonna make a bookshelf tour video to show them off soon!
I am personally a big fan of the Stormlight archive covers, they really nailed the vibe I got from the series. And though I found the art of RoW nice, I found it was too different in color from the first three stormlight books for my taste.
I'd think it's fair to say RoW is just different from the rest of SLA thus far. It is not my favorite of the 4 but I definitely think it is the best book in the series.
I wish I could justify buying Discworld in those beautiful hardcovers…
I probably will.
I already bought two of them and I am NOT regretting it they're so gorgeous and they feel so nice (I am trying to give you even more justifications please accept this offering)
also I think you can get some sets as well which makes the prices go down slightly so....take that information and go wild?
I ordered all of the death books from discworld Emporium and they’re great. I did see some pop up on Amazon recently though.
They have sets for things like witches and death series which are cheaper
Xd
I'm slowly trying to collect them all over time
I’m a carpenter. I’d build custom shelves for you. Just for the shout out.
With wood prices today? You must be loaded. :). That would look really cool, hope he takes you up on the offer
@@Zac_Craig-Claveau just had a fence built, and they gave me the leftover for free.
@@1lobster Oh, good for you. My father's been teaching me about woodworking, and i've been using his leftovers for my own little projects. never underestimate the usefulness of leftovers
Cool. I am not a carpenter, but I love to make my own furniture. I just moved so I am going to make myself a custom shelves. The borders are going to be the shape of land masses of fantasy maps, and the outher faces are going to be carved in fantasy shapes.
I vote for this! I have seen one too many Kalax in my life.
If I become a famous author I'll make sure to make my first book titanium white, and the next volume off-white, just to push you off the edge of madness.
Every book a slightly different shade of white XD
Without people realizing it, you go through the whole 10 value scale throughout your scale and they end on a black book
Plot twist, it's all just a green screen.
Yeah and Daniel is just an actor who uses top quality research to make the book nerd performance realistic.
@@thedeadd.c.207 yeah he’s like The Mandarin from Iron Man 3 except for goblins
I'm so glad you did this video, I was admiring some of the more colourful ones and wondering what they were for a long time. I'm glad to finally know, thank you.
Ah yes, the expanse series: Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War, Abaddon's Gate, and James S. A. Corey.
This video is a few weeks old, but good God does The Priory of the Orange Tree have one of the best covers from the past few years. Absolutely beautiful artwork.
The OCD in this video is a balm to my soul!!!!!! 😂 collector rage is a real thing. Get the Alan Lee illustrated LOTR
Exactly. A very nice set, along with the hobbit and the silmarillion.
A few days ago I went to a bookstore and saw some books for the first time in person. A screen just doesn't compare with the real book.
It's shocking seeing things in 3d again huh.
Thank you so much for this video! I was really looking for some book recommendations based on the book's looks.
My 10 year anniversary edition of Name of the Wind is my favorite book on my shelf. That thing is a work of art and I love all the extra things they added in
That Dune edition is sooo beautiful! I also like the 10th anniversary edition of The Name of the Wind. I own the illustrated Harry Potter books and those are really great too.
I’m going to need that Wheel of Time set. My bank account regrets that I ever saw this video and went to the Juniper website.
(Btw- one vote for liking Dark Tower 🤷🏻♀️)
I love the Dark Tower Daniel, you are not alone. However, my editions are the totally random hardbacks where they all have "matching" keyholes (that are all different sizes) but then the rest of the spines look as different a possible. Wolves has a dope "old book" look to the spine and then 6 and 7 are just mushy purples and blacks with weird fonts.
Regular Stormlight Archive with jackets removed look amazing on my shelf. I had them all up there for years before I realized how gorgeous the spines were. They each are in a vibrant color representing a different radiant and the cover has the radiant symbol. Those and the older Abercrombie First Law paperback covers are my all time favorites.
Phillip Pullman I have his, a new set all matching paperback but I read my books over & over. My first library I gave away to where I worked at a convalescent hospital. They so enjoy & love it to this day. But then I missed having books & authors to sit with. So not knowing I was a writer, I became a reader. So books/authors are my reading family. I do hand book-binding and replace/repair to spines & pages & writing whatever. Mine are my friends & taken care of.
"Of course, the Hufflepuff will fall."
Lol you made that sound so ominous.
There was a gorgeous edition of Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit that came out last year. Illustrated by Alan Lee with really nice spines, full page illustrations speckled throughout the books and ribbon book marks, plus the box is nice. Roughly £100 from Waterstones but absolutely worth it in my opinion. New to your channel but enjoying it so far!
I've slowly been working through the dark tower series over the years, but I've only read the first 2 books fully - regardless I really enjoyed them, and I'm looking forward to reading the other 5 (+ wind through the keyhole!) so I appreciate you showing them on your channel :)
I've lived overseas for almost a decade now and I'll be headed back to the states next year. I can't show off the books I've read and collected because they had to be bought through kindle. A nice bookshelf is one of the first things I want in my "forever" home. Very jealous of your awesome books!
Oh my gosh. This was just beautiful to behold. Thank you.
I'm slowly buying my robin hobb collection in the UK covers cause they are so pretty and they'll be so nice looking in my shelves once the set is completed
I think your book cover is really pretty!
Ugh. The WOT hardly ever gets a break. Even at 13 when I squeed at finding out Robert Jordan was writing a epic fantasy series, the covers killed me. I wouldn't even go out in public with the dust covers on they're so off and embarrassing. And made it so hard to convince others that the series was awesome. Oh well, here's to hoping that the Amazon editions will rock
I love the Realm of the Elderlings UK covers, the whole series looks great together
My favorite books, from an aesthetic perspective, on my bookshelf currently are the large paperback versions of The Wheel of Time with the E-Book cover art. They catch my eye every time I look at my shelf and the fact that the front cover image is repeated on the spine gives me something interesting to look at every time.
Nice video, Daniel. I particularly envy those Way of Kings leatherbounds, they're so perfect.
My favs on my shelf are stormlight and the new Pauline book-plus Catch and Kill, a great nonfiction book with an incredible cover design. I also love all the Bardugo covers
I love the Dark Tower books! I try to hit my library's book sale each year so I can expand my book shelf and get the hard covers to replace the paper backs I own.
Your editing game has really upped!
You own so many beautiful editions of books Daniel 😍 ... If only I had money! I would own a whole library full of beautiful books! I have a couple of the Discworld editions that you have, they are awesome, but I am jealous of your folio society small gods!
Your shelf makes me want to start collecting hardbacks as well. I was always a digital only reader/listener and never owned a physical copy of a book, but DAMN these look amazing!
I LOVE Dark Tower. And i am really jealous of your editions 😭
I have a copy of Machiavelli's The Prince which comes in a red cardboard sleeve with gold lettering and illustrations. The book itself is wrapped in purple felt with gold lettering and inside it is filled with renaissance themed and era art all in color. It's got to be the most beautiful book I own and it blows my mind that I got it from the discount section at Chapters.
I love the Discworld hardbacks, I know it'll be something I continue to collect for years to come
I know this is two years old, but I just recently discovered your channel. I'm working with an artist right now to design my debut novel cover and just doing as much research as I can to figure out what works well and what kind of aesthetic I want to go for. I have provided 'The Shadow of the Gods' as an inspirational cover to my artist, but I hadn't found 'A Little Hatred' and it's on a similar vibe. All that goes to say that this video has been helpful. Thanks!
This video was incredibly well made, you just keep improving!.
I’m a Dark Tower fan!!! I love your videos on them.
Great Vid Daniel. Also Congrats on 300k.
I drool over your wheel of time covers. So pretty.
That Wheel of Time set is fantastic.... just FANTASTIC
I really love the covers of the first 2 Lightbringer books. I have Blinding Knife facing out right now but I swap to Black Prism sometimes too.
Myyyyyy gooooood, I want that hoodie, it's so pretty.
I already like the normal hard covers for the stormlight archive. Nice jackets, but also without jackets they look nice. The full colol art of the heralds is beautifull and off course you have plenty of pictures inside the book as well (although the softcovers also have those).
This is one of the most happy-feeel-good things I've seen. Ever. : )
Currently reading The Dark Tower almost entirely based on your mentions of it. I've read the first two books (Gunslinger, Drawing of the Three) and think it's been an incredible experience so far.
The stand is literally such a fire book cover 🔥
I actually found that version of Dune last week at a friend's house and it took my breath away. It's beautiful
Oh also Daniel have you ever seen the subterranean press versions of the dresden files? They're absolutely beautiful and they would fill that black dresden void with some wonderful color.
Really nice editing
Oh yeah, I love my copies of the Dark Tower series. I went out of my way to find the ones from the same collection. The drawings scattered throughout are so good.
First video I’ve seen of yours. Great content, and for what it’s worth, I loved The Dark Tower series! King’s best work imo.
Love the hoodie! Matches your eyes g 👌🏼👌🏼
I’m so glad you talked about the spine inconsistency thing. I bought the entirety of the Gryffindor 20th anniversary Bloomsbury Harry Potter hardcovers… the lettering on Philosophers Stone is red while the rest is a nice foiled gold. It’s really disappointing, because otherwise they are BEAUTIFUL shelf pieces
You cant just do this to my wallet and pretend everything is okay
I really wish I could afford those Mistborn and Way of Kings editions. They look amazing!
The Dark Tower has remained my all time favourite book series for over a decade now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon yo
I live in Australia and wanted to get the full WoT juniper set but I got to checkout and shipping alone was a little over 600usd. I ended up just getting the jackets and am currently picking up the correct books here and there. My 10th anniversary WoK just showed up last week and they look amazing.
Was hoping to see some Nicholas Eames and was not disappointed! Picked up the first book based on the cover alone, just browsing through my local book store and man what a blast to read!
Man Carrying Thing is hilarious! His Brandon Sanderson videos always crack me up, and he thinks the Dune cover is ugly! Total jokester!
The basic red rising covers I don't really like but those red rising books are gorgeous
I love the dark tower to!
I can't believe how long LoTR has been out and there isn't a cool edition that looks good on the shelf. I do really like your editions of GoT. After seeing those on your shelf I added them to my MUST HAVE list.
dude way to go i love your channel
Well you are very good at posting quality content at a very good rate you do it fast.
Keep it up
I love me some good eye candy! You have defiantly delivered with your stunning collection!
I know you didn’t mention them, but your Ice and Fire collection looks very nice. I really like those editions of the books
That intro is my fav so far
Sanderson is my favorite and currently really enjoying the wheel of time (on book 5, but MY GOD were 1 & 2 ever a chore to read).....But I love/d the Dark Tower and I throughly enjoyed your reveiws on them/all your Dark Tower material. If you post more I will watch it. There, someone in your audience that likes it.
Those are all beautiful!
I'm just comparing my books to my wife's books in our book shelves. Mine, a huge collection of mostly scruffy paperbacks, I've read all apart from 3 new purchases. Wife's book, a collection of lovely large hardbacks , all with nice attractive dustcovers, there's everything from Italian cookery to Gardening and beautiful homes to Meditation and Wellness, all hardly looked at.
I'd love you to interview the Folio Society. Their releases tended to be more traditional literature, but ever since their release of Dune sold so well, they seem to have been publishing more Fantasy and Sci-Fi. And all of them with specially-commissioned art.
I just recently listened to Storm Front and it was the best audiobook experience I have had so far. Granted, I haven't listened to too many books yet, but still.
Daniel, are you going to talk about all the expanse books leading up to the final one this year?? I’m so excited for it, even though I don’t want it to end
white book covers can turn slightly yellowish due to sunlight exposure! it happened to one of my editions of iron gold! you can really see that the spine turned lightly yellow but the front of the cover is still crisp white
