Hey @librarybooks we were wondering if you would be interested in reading the world atlas we wrote? (If not yeah I get it, I might not respond to a random comment in my comment section either ) Our atlas is called "The World A Comprehensive Guide to Geopolitics" It has breakdowns for over 1,400 geographic regions covered. Every continent, every UN member, every partially recognized nation (Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine etc.), every autonomous region, every external territory. We even included breakdowns for every known base camp in Antarctica, by both summer and winter populations. It has over 440 colorized maps. And over 490 colorized flags. And we even included a geography section full of facts such as the largest rivers, lakes, deserts, the lowest elevations, highest altitudes, longest mountain ranges, most northerly and southerly nations just to name a few. It took us almost 2 years to make. I'm proud of it. We finally published on June 12, 2024. Almost 2 and a half months ago.

Just found this review of "The Annals of America." I saw the series for sale on eBay and have been trying to track down book series published by the Encyclopedia Britannica but didn't find much about them online. Thank you for showing these books and providing an overview; it has convinced me that I need to add this series to my collection.

May I ask if you have this app on your computer? I have a macbook pro.

It looks like it might be a xerox of the original book, do you think?

Station Eleven is such a great story; wonderful prose, hauntingly beautiful: "because survival is insufficient". Excellent example of non-linear storytelling.

Do you still possess?

I wtb

This is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be finding a copy of this very soon.

It’s a great LOA edition - I really like this longer-form showcase, thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to read these three novels & writings

So these books do not have the whole story in them?

Sir. What is the lecture series you came across?

thankyou thankyou so much ❤

"Milk feels pain" is downright diabolical. Great video!

Wow, that's and amazing edition.

I'll have to check out some of these. Haven't heard of them before!

I have the book

I recently began reading the first book in the series and I'm really enjoying it. The second book is somewhat difficult to find at a reasonable price, but I intend to purchase it as well.

it was 1974, it got a LOT of attention/review at the time. I think PBS did a feature on it also. Studs was a regular guest on all the serious/political chat shows.

Why is there 3 different cover for Understanding Comics books, is there any difference? Which one is the best?

This is a beautiful edition!!

I always remember a phrase from Dr HK book 'On the meaning of history' when he said that the problem with Germany (from Bismarck onwards) was that it committed itself to being "a permanent tour de force." This brilliant phrase has never been bettered (imho) as the ultimate description of what happened to Europe in the 20th century. Thank you for your presentation.

amazing story . referenced by sir antony beevor many times in his "battle for crete". a significant book documenting amazing deeds.

Not sure why, but it reminds me of my copy of opium eater

Impressive library, sir. I have tried a few apps, and this is one of the only apps that auto-populates the genre. Appreciate your ideas here, especially thinking about your bookshelves as cells in an Excel sheet. I can't wait to organize in all the ways!

I watched an interview with the author some years ago and I remember him saying that his intention was to make the reader feel like a child. When you’re a child pre alphabetisation, and you open an encyclopaedia, you don’t understand anything: you can’t read! You’re just in awe with the illustrations. I think it’s a great concept. To fill grown ups with a sense of wonder again.

Found this in paperback earlier today at Goodwill. Reading had been a new hobby for me and I hope this book takes me on a little adventure. Thanks for the video my friend. God bless. 🙏

I would love to own this edition of book someday🥰 i love folio society editions amd adore this book

Thank you for showcasing these beautiful books and it's contents. I already have Reformation: Europe's House Divided by Diarmaid Macculloch, folio edition. Is the set, really that anti-christian? I ask that because of: ‘I hope that this book will help readers stand back from Christianity, whether they love it or hate it, or are simply curious about it, and see it in the round.’ Neil MacGregor, from his introduction

To not have Dostoevsky into these boxes is true CRIME

Great video and explanation!! I have the box set of the Little Black Classics (and a handful of the additional volumes) but now I want the Penguin Modern set! 🤣

I don’t know, I kind of like the idea of using archaic words that no one uses anymore.

I first discovered this by accident in the Queensland State Library, and almost made a spectacle of myself as I couldn't contain my laughter as I read it through. So when I saw that the Folio Society had published it, there was absolutely no stopping me from buying it.

I have been looking everywhere I can get them, can you advise me to contact any place to buy? They are out of stock everywhere!! Will you sell them to me?❤❤

Yeah i like these kinda videos instead of reviewa

In 14 edition you can find detailed info about any random topic due to its A-Z layout ,however in 15th it was shortened to 750 word limit with few diagrams in micropedia and portions of it were combined in Macropedia

I got this for 43 dollars in Korea! Very cheap for 80 books, and I enjoyed most of them (Im not quite done with all of them lol)

Those set of Beatrix Potter looks pretty cool, like old classic novels, my dad was a book collector for years, he passed away in 2022 at age 83. But he has lots of books 📚 in my house, i guess 5000. I have the complete tales of Beatrix Potter in an big book, it's printed and bounded in Great Britain by William Clowes limited, Beccles and London.

That's a gorgeous book

Thanks for this! I’m thinking about picking up this book. Trying to understand how our culture got to where it’s at

Also, I watched this last night when I should have been sleeping, and woke up today seeing that I had actually ordered it. It’s on its way. I need to watch these when I’m more fully awake 😂 or my bank account is going to end up regretting it.

The way people use “literally” literally drives me nuts. Haha. It does make me crazy, but I actually do say something to people when they use it like that. It doesn’t make me any friends, but someone has to fight back against this onslaught of stupidity, haha. And for the record, YES, IT’S WRONG!!! Ok I’m done.

Does it has white nights in it ?

If the book take pieces of the larger work, are we going to understand it? Like do we know what’s going on in there😂 I was thinking what to buy little black classic or modern classic.

Just got my copy for my birthday 🥰

I read all the bibliography of John Williams (4 books), he was a great writter.

I love the orange cloth, I wonder if LoA ever did any other unique colors

Thank you I was thinking of getting this book 😊

The Wind In The Willows Folio is absolutely stunning. Wow that's a special piece, its utter perfection.

One of my all time favorites

I like them. I like photos with a lot of texture.
