Don’t try to explain the love of books to people who don’t care for them, they will never, never understand. It is a deep passion... unexplainable. And yes, the smell is terrific.

I have All Quiet On the Western Front and its cloth binding is scarlet. Considering it's a book from 1929, I'm not sure what counts as 20th Century for the people at Everyman's Library.
“This beautiful depiction... of war.” 😂 Seriously, Everyman books are also so reader-friendly, which can’t be said of all hardbacks. The pocket classics are gorgeous!
I have many of the Everyman's Library classics and they are just so beautiful and sublime. They definitely look incredibly elegant and I appreciated your video showing the different styles of books they offer. I might get The Great Cat now!
You are so sensible and lucky! Everyman's library books are a delight to behold and hold. The paper is good, the font is just right, the typeface is easy on the eyes, the binding is both beautiful and durable. The book is section stitched so you can open it fully without fear. It is hard to get so many books in such uniform format of such quality. I have books from other series also, like the Modern Library, Penguins Hardcover, but i liked Everyman's more. So I have more than 50 of their regular volumes and almost all the volumes of their Pocket Poets series. I have the full volumes of these poets, but went for Everyman's for their sheer beauty. You must get the complete set of Shakespeare's plays. They serve the purpose of general reader, unless you want to become a critical scholar! I think you have a wonderful collection. All the best to you. May your collection grow. As a general rule, never buy paperbacks when hardcovers are available. Get an edition with introduction and notes. You may also try Library of America editions where complete volumes of famous American authors are available in uniform format. I thus got the complete set of Mark Twain, and the speeches and writings of LIncoln, Thoreau and Emerson. That too is a delightful series.
My copy of Pride and Prejudice is from EML and it's SOO pretty, the sleeve has a delicate picture of a girl in a Regency dress and the hardcover is a beautiful olive green all trhough out
Watching this video ,further reinforces why the actual book is so much better to read than reading digital copies... Also maybe a video on where to start reading classics.
Everyman's Library is a great publisher. I read a collection of novels by Muriel Spark. There are volumes of authors Richard Ford, Joseph Heller, Martin Amis and Joan Didion.
You SHOULD be collecting the really OLD ones ! These were the really beautiful ones...most printed BEFORE 1960. They had a broader range of titles, and they were much more artistically designed and printed. If you saw some of them, I think you'd agree. Old bookstores (most of which no longer exist) used to be filled with them. I still have dozens and dozens of them. I guess the only place to get them now is Craig's list or Ebay.
You should check out Chiltern publishing. The are so gorgeous looking, even though I have to say that the price is glamorous as well. They just came out with new books, my favorites are Emma and Wuthering Heights.
About how much have you invested in collecting your library? Have you read them all? How much time do you spend reading on average? Greets and excellent channel.
I enjoy your vids , non pretentious and straight to the point . You look like someone famous but I can't recall who it is . Here are recs you might like if you haven't already read them The Argonauts Dangerous Liasons The Flame Throwers The Dumb House It just came to me you look like Sara Silverman. I've got a travel vlog but I'm gonna start doing in depth book summaries on my channel as well ( my passion is travel and books two things that educate and are truthful ) . So I've been researching book vloggers that's how I found your channel . What I like about your presentation is they are stripped down and honest . Keep em coming :)
Omg you have such a nice collection.😻😻 I have only one book from this publishers I.e., Handmaid's tale. I was hoping to purchase Count of Monte cristo but after watching your video I want all of them. Thanks for the video
@@OMGGitsCAROLMaybe you should read shorter works by Tolstoy to see if you like his style before tackling W&P. Was it the Oxford University Press that you ordered?
I did not notice any "whistling s's" and I usually am quick to pick up on things like that, as it is very irritating to me as well, esp. if I get the impression that it is on purpose or an affect. Even going back and listening for them, I didn't notice anything. Anyhow, no one is forcing you to watch her videos. Being rude is worse than whistling your s's in my opinion.

leonardo h 1900 - 1999 is from the 20th century, we are currently in the 21st century.
@@Pantano63 that is the 20th century that's why

I have many books, and the ones that I read when I was younger such as famous five and Percy Jackson, have a very distinct smell that takes me back.

And I would add. Please get the two volumes of the works by the Indian writer R.K.Narayan. They are delightful stories.
I'll absolutely check them out, thank you for all your comments ! :)
Those burgundy books look much nicer without the dust covers.
Jeffrey Kaufmann you’re right ! I’m always so tempted to show them without the covers 😂
The Russian reads 'Russian poets'. The little boxes on the spine block a load of the letters, but if you fill in the gaps it's 'русские поэты'
bethie thanks !
I always smell books, too.
Glad I’m not alone 😂
Let's face it, we all do it. 😂
I googled Everyman's library and your video was the first one to appear, I really enjoyed watching it.
Thank you for watching!! ❤️
My copy of Pride and Prejudice is from EML and it's SOO pretty, the sleeve has a delicate picture of a girl in a Regency dress and the hardcover is a beautiful olive green all trhough out
Ooooh I need that !
@@OMGGitsCAROL It's super pretty!
Also, I couldn't resist temptation and ended up buying the love poems bundle, can't wait to read it!!
Everyman Pocket Classics - Christmas Stories!!! A crazy good assortment of authors, an absolute feast of holiday reading! incl. Dickens, Gogol, Conan Doyle, Trollope, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Cather, O Henry, Saki, Nabokov, Runyon, Waugh, Bowen, Cheever, Capote, Updike, Spark, Paley, Munro, and Ford
I really wanted to know what their pocket collection actually looks like, thanks for the video!
glad to help! :)

Great idea!!
They say you shouldn't judge a person by the books he reads but by the books he re-reads. What book or books would you re-read?
I’m planning to getting three books from Everyman’s Library in the future. I have them bookmarked for future purchase.
Everyman's Library is a great publisher. I read a collection of novels by Muriel Spark. There are volumes of authors Richard Ford, Joseph Heller, Martin Amis and Joan Didion.
I wish to remove the dust jackets of my books but then the fear that they might get ugly, doesn't let me do so.
I understand the struggle 😂
Yes Ma'am, only a bibliophile can understand this pain...

Whatttt ?? I’m going to look for them! Thank you!
Does the translation of War and Peace translate the French in the text? Thanks!
That book in black cloth binding is one of the most elegant and sexiest books I've ever seen. I wish there were more Everyman's books like it.
Yesss love them!
I too love the smell of books. Just saying!
Best smell!!!

Ooooo I definitely will thank you ! ❤️
About how much have you invested in collecting your library? Have you read them all? How much time do you spend reading on average? Greets and excellent channel.
Definitely have not read them all :) I read them slowly now when a book calls out to me! I used to average 150 books a year though ❤️
Are these books unabridged? I read somewhere that it's not.
I enjoy your vids , non pretentious and straight to the point . You look like someone famous but I can't recall who it is .

Gorgeous collection! Ahhh to live with these books.

They said its pages are acid free is it true?
As per the website, I believe so :)
Yep they are acid free
Have you read War and Peace?
Not yet! I’m a bit intimidated to be honest!
@@OMGGitsCAROL Someone told me it's a page turner. The Chapters are very short so the book won't feel that long.
In that case I will pick it up soon! I just ordered a beautiful paperback version of it - perfect timing :)
@@OMGGitsCAROLMaybe you should read shorter works by Tolstoy to see if you like his style before tackling W&P.
Was it the Oxford University Press that you ordered?
I have the everyman's library version :)
Aaaa lehhh gheee ehhh reeee - Aleghieri
😂
