I’m currently reading The Hobbit for the first time (and loving it). When the first book you pulled out was The Hobbit, my jaw dropped. Beautiful and impressive collection.
As a fellow bibliophile, this channel is quite possibly the best thing since the internet. Thanks for sharing! Such a wonderfully curated and diverse collection. Your taste and collection are well on their way to competing with the Stewart-Gardener art collection in Boston. Again thanks so much for sharing! I always joke TH-cam has become somewhat of a contemporary Library of Alexandria. Thanks for validating 😎
Cottageville, Outside of Charleston, SC. is our location. The Bible from 1611 was amazing to see, thank you. I was going to ask for an early addition of Shakespeare but you beat me to it, again thank yoiu.
Pretty sure my dad has first edition lord of the rings set and Silmarilion. When I was young I remember my dad and uncle discussing who would have the books in their library.
43:44 Now you got my attention. For me, the Holy Grail would be a first edition copy of Cook's voyages, with the folio volume. Also I want one of Vancouver, and a first edition Anson, and all the rest of them. Krusenstern, Langsdorff, all the South Seas explorers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Some people have way too much money they don't even know what to do with it while others have none. Several million.."Let's do that." Sounds like he's one of those.
I literally would have asked to see a copy of the hobbit so you had me right out the gate. Perhaps some of the saga's like Beowulf since you have so much bible stuff i have to imagine you have an old af copy of that as well!
I wonder if the store's collection includes Pippy Longstocking. I once met quite by happenchance the author of Pippy Longstocking. I was familiar with the book because of a school teacher who read the book to the class over a period of a few weeks.
Aren’t those books frail they’re first editions I have a couple first editions and I always feel uneasy to open them because I don’t want to accidentally tear a page
Hi from Australia. What a beautiful library. I am putting together a library and I have some questions... Is this library climate controlled? Also, I noticed many of the books seem to have their own protective box. Is that something you recommend? I have some valuable books and it worries me having them out on the shelf, but on the same token, I have been told that books need air around them circulating to prevent binding failure, mould and foxing etc. Would love to know your thoughts, or maybe you could do a video on how to protect valuable books in a library such as this. Cheers
Curious if you have any book with jewel binding? Or a very nice binding of the count of monte cristo? Or for that matter any very beautiful binded books?
How did these rare books come into One's possession? it seems as though they would be normally in museum book vault environmental protective. Seems really disconcerting this is what become of valuing reality
35:45 I recognize that mug in the background. Is that the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Edit: yes, it is. Dude has the literal Holy Grail on the shelf, as far as I'm concerned.
This is cool, but I don’t really understand how this was created? Did the owner give you $4m and said pick all my books for me? That’s cool but also kind of sad in a way.
Sure not using gloves is the correct way to open pages, but might I suggest a cushioned podium in this private library to protect the heavy handed handling of these precious books 😱
Bronx: Quran syriac Aramaic dialect beshem aloho Eucharist prayer the writing preservation of both monotheistic v polytheistic do you Barry white book or Ron mcvan temple of Wotan!
While you are holding up all these books to the camera, which are 1st editions and you can hardly breathe with pride, many people have actually read these books But that seems to be something American. You can hold hundreds of 1st editions in front of the camera,If they do not understand the value of the content, None of these books have any value

I feel like that room of the old books smells amazing! One of the best smells in the world is books
Aye. And fragrance of women too. Especially, like, after they have got some soap over them .
It’s a distinct aroma
I would argue the egg and bacon sandwich I just cooked smelt pretty good 😂😂
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius yeah okay buddy, women you never get lmao
straight from brazil! love your videos on TikTok and just stumbled upon you YT channel
Christmas came early! Thanks for the long form content, this is fantastic!
Great work on this collection Reid! Some real gems in here

Love the Tolkien collection! Signed editions are especially amazing.
Awesome collection!

Gorgeous curation and gorgeous set up, that view! 🔥
I like the thick bookshelves that don't sag.
Very unprofessional interruptions from the clowns filming this!
looks like there's also an audience of clowns as well
To have that kind of money.. Wow... Just wow
😮
Very interesting! Watching from Finland
Thanks for watching!
@MoonsRareBooks Looking for early edition of Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike. Also a book he did called The Book of Apadno.
My jaw dropped when you pulled out Thor's hammer. Watching from Ohio and enjoying every minute💜
Just loved your, "there are so many cool books in here". Thought exactly that as a 1st grader going into the schools library. Books are cool.
Pretty sure my dad has first edition lord of the rings set and Silmarilion. When I was young I remember my dad and uncle discussing who would have the books in their library.
Love the use of clam shell boxes...how do you determine when to use a clamshell...do you prefer a specific manufacturer? Thanks!
Greetings from Brazil! Thanks for your job.
I wish we could see the whole room please!!!
I would be deathly afraid of silverfish if I were you, ha ha.
How do you protect the books from vermin
Multi million dollar library, I'm sure it has humidity controls, and seals on the door
Great curation. What recommendations do you have for sturdy bookshelves?
43:44 Now you got my attention. For me, the Holy Grail would be a first edition copy of Cook's voyages, with the folio volume. Also I want one of Vancouver, and a first edition Anson, and all the rest of them. Krusenstern, Langsdorff, all the South Seas explorers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Very interesting! Watching from Hungary.
The camera guys did not know what they were doing. You deserve better
New or old the story is the main thing. If you can’t afford the rare, get the secondhand one
this is just amazing
Amazing collection. I like your style and taste . Respect ✊

Some people have way too much money they don't even know what to do with it while others have none. Several million.."Let's do that." Sounds like he's one of those.

Do you not worry about the sun fading from those large windows?
Nice books. But I think a collection should have a focus, should be more individual. This just seems like a rich person's shopping list.
It's good to be king
😅
Hello Reid! Watching from Arizona. I’d love to see what Ben Hur books you have!
The Good Soldier Sweik from Czech by Hasek?
Great video!! Hearing the camera person in the background is a bit maddening!!!
I’m really interested in book collecting, but not sure where to start. It seems like all of the second hand books I see are second hand.
marvelous
Would’ve really enjoyed seeing some Charles Dickens and my favorite, Mark Twain.
That super old Vulgate bible you have is so impressive. I would love to hold it.
Love this content, but why is the cameraman interrupting with commentary while you are speaking?
Enjoying this content. It's the Christmas season, Charles Dickens or C.S. Lewis (?)
Any copys of around the world in 80 days ? My favorite book
That Harry Potter book is so dope zz. I need that
What’s your oldest Shakespeare? Any first editions ?
Can I see this video from a horizontal angle?
Aren’t those books frail they’re first editions I have a couple first editions and I always feel uneasy to open them because I don’t want to accidentally tear a page
Any reason this was filmed in this orientation?
Donte inferno Gustave dore 1st edition
Do you have the book of five rings by miyamoto musashi?
I can't believe this only cost 4 million. Surely the title means this is the library of a 4 million dollar home?
Theres no pockets in shrouds.
I figure my collection is worth about $20 thousand. This is just astounding.
What state are you guys in
MAN I LOVE THE IDEAR I LOVE THE LOOK BUT WHY WHOULD you upload it in this weird format
First edition Walden and Little Women

Maybe I missed it but wouldn't you want to include Charles Dickens?
Original bible?
An original copy of the lesser key of Solomon
any 17th century Cyrano De Bergeracs?
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Annotated
Novella by Robert Louis Stevenson
First Edition
It seems unsporting to simply buy up a huge, precious collection like this, without the doing hard yards assembling your own.
12 years before Columbus, not 2 years..
How much is the Latin Bible worth? ❤
Shakespeare alone...
😮
4 million dollar library in a country that is 42 in the world in Reading.
#1 military and #1 richest. Stop talking before I send my goons lol
Livingston book
Are there any Russian classics?
Really wanted to watch this, but filming in portrait on a iPhone makes it look like I'm viewing this through a keyhole on my TV. Shame.
Won't the books get bleached by all the sunlight?
Curious if you have any book with jewel binding? Or a very nice binding of the count of monte cristo? Or for that matter any very beautiful binded books?
Why does he let it sit in a retail space and touch no gloves? lol like where’s the temp controls?
He answered the gloves question in the video
Everything?? Fantasmagoriana First edition ( Paris 1812)?!! Extremely unlikely!
John 🏴
Do you have books about Demons, Angles, witches ect....?
Did you not see the large bible? hello
The giga codex
😮
Enough with the marvel hammer. Isn't this a library?
How did these rare books come into One's possession?
it seems as though they would be normally in museum book vault environmental protective.

If you have an original Gutenberg Bible please give me a ring :)
Ok, you’re rich.
This is cool, but I don’t really understand how this was created? Did the owner give you $4m and said pick all my books for me? That’s cool but also kind of sad in a way.
Why. The hell. Do they keep. Interrupting him. Let the man speak!
Quit interrupting the man
Chris ruined this for me. I loved everything else.
I want to see old books about Palestine
Not even through describing the firrst book and the camerman wants to look at the movie prop. Embarrasing.
Sure not using gloves is the correct way to open pages, but might I suggest a cushioned podium in this private library to protect the heavy handed handling of these precious books 😱
