your video is so informative. than you!

I have 1627 Finch book. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4SZfGyCjJh2mrM

Beautiful video

I like the idea of the leaves being by different printers. Very cool! Did you say that you originally divided up the Kelmscott Chaucer that you got in 2012? How did you decide to not sell it as a whole and rather to sell leaves? I'm sure that is a controversial question to even ask but I'd love to hear.

WOW!!!!! Gorgeous!

So cool

"especially fertile" haha

Hey, youre back!

Dude... your camera is leaning left

Please keep making these videos! I'm just now getting into collecting old dictionaries, on account of the internet's changing the definitions of words and I can now prove it. I have been binge watching your videos LOL, I'm going to buy the oldest dictionaries I can afford and your videos are helping me out.

Thank you Sir for these lovely little lectures. Here in isolation in midtown Manhattan you are providing a source of unending delight and respite. I haven’t had a tv for over 20 years but my teeny apartment in Murray Hill is filled with over 2,000 books, etc., ...boxed sets of drawings/etchings, and sepia and b&w early photography......my first editions are locked up in my old glass front Cape Dutch cabinet that I’ve schlepped around a few continents, ......also a few monographs, and miniatures..... from a teeny two volume Ariel to Zweig, a little blue Moroccan covered Colette, a beautifully bound and gilded “Millet” from Little Books on Art published by Dodge ......the little ones are stacked up on my great-grandmother’s Bechstein..... (I’m a (was a) self employed music teacher and volunteer at the Juilliard after-school public school program teaching music theory) music manuscripts another passion of mine. Imbecile in the White House blathers on ......

Keep making videos, these are amazing.

This is amazing.

great video's

Hi Phillip, My Pop's gave me a book dated 1906 Author: Mary Pettus Thomas / Book Title: Some Fancies in Verse (Poetry) and Sign Book. Hard back, lime green in color with 4 leaf Clover on front and 2 flowers. Can you help!

A very good video, thank you! Btw: Postilla Super *Totam Bibliam

Yeah, great to you again. Can you explain to me, because I’m not familiar with the English terminology on books and profesional book collecting business, but did you combined pages from a different editions of a book to create something of a prostethis of a book? With a missing pages?

Been waiting for a new video from you; well worth the wait. Great video!

This video series is so entertaining and full of knowledge and wisdom thanks for making them.

Just found your youtube page today. Have spent the last hour or so going through all the vids you have, very informative indeed, I hope you make more of them. By the way the binding on the Lyrics of the Heart book is stunning.

As a bookseller myself,Sourcing Antique books is hard and sourcing Quality antique books is even harder BUT i just love my job and wouldnt change it for the world.

Fascinating.

Ah, a collector "collects" but rarely sells. I have several antiquarian volumes, nothing of great value, but I still would hate to have to sell any of them: even though I can't pay my mortgage & might lose my home. Appreciation, understanding but no opportunity: story of my life.

I love antique books.

I just kept nodding all throughout the video. He gets so many points right about book collectors. I'm starting mine...and the sky is the limit for me! My dream is to have a single room dedicated to my collection, all the walls filled to the brim with classical, contemporary, philosophical and fictional works.

This is all extremely interesting stuff. I never thought there could be so much depth in the collection of books. I really love the way you explain it.

Excellent, informative video. Thank you for posting this!

By the twelfth century late Carolingian miniscule was transitioning to proto-Gothic, which would eventually yield the minim-laden, dense Gothic hands characteristic of the late middle ages. Carolingian miniscule dominated from the ninth, through the eleventh centuries, except in England, where insular hands remained strong until the late ninth/early tenth century (though English handwriting continued to retain much of its local character).

Wow, what I wouldn't give to have the "Book of Hours". Superb!!!

I love these! I am sharing these with elementary students in art classes.

I learned so much. Thank you.

Do you still sell this book?

Do you want to sell any? Thanks, PJP

I have a lot of leather bound books. I'm kind of a big deal.

AW MAN! I LOVE this! I LOVE BOOKS! This is for me. I could see myself getting lost in collecting antigue books. I collect books now but not even close to this level.

Hello, just found your channel and I'm hooked! :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I wanted to know, if I may, where can I learn about the types of vellum available? which is the highest quality one? how do you measure the quality of vellum? and even more broadly, what is the most durable and highest quality type of paper available? (i.e. vellum, regular wood paper, etc. -- what are the differences between them) Thanks! :)

Would you ever find such books on e-bay?

Excellent! I'll use this video in my History and Literature paper for college. :)

Your videos have given me substantial information to compliment my interest in this area - many thanks.

Awesome video, I really enjoyed watching it. It's interesting to look at these historic pieces, and get the context for how and why they were made, compared to books today. Not to mention, they're works of art in of themselves!

Very interesting; thank you. I have a special interest in 11th-12th century France. Would the Carolingian script that you mention became universal, have dominated educated and liturgical writing in France by that period?

What a wonderful video! We had a custom book made for our adaptation of The Summoning of Everyman. Google and find out trailer.

Great video. Thanks. Makes my collection look like a dime-novel pack.

Great video. Thanks.

Wonderful short videos by a very knowledgeable person!! I enjoyed all of them.

Fascinating guy!! Really enjoy listening to him.

wonderful !

I call my book room the book jungle My children want me to dump my collection I really enjoyed your calm unassuming explanation At times a book just appears for me to select.. I appreciate this talk for me to learn these values. Geneva M.
