AllYouNeedIsBooks - Zardoz - Paperback Book Fair - September 2024 - Incredible Book Bargains

[@jonathanpearman1052]

Look forward to your video on boxed sets. I have a number of these, mainly Penguin but also Mayflower, Granada etc. Started buying these about 6-7 years ago and they were so affordable at the time I just bought more or less anything that was in a box set. Now I see prices have gone up quite a bit and they're not as easy to find. Must come over to the UK soon for a paperback book fair. Thanks for yet another enjoyable video.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Jonathan. My boxers are mainly vintage Penguin ones but I have a handful from other publishers. Still plenty I'm after of course. Prices do seem to be creeping up on several of them tbh. I'm hoping to have it filmed fairly soon🙂

[@davidhyman7566]

Another great video, Jules, and it also looks like it was a great day! If another event is staged on a Saturday, I'll try to make it down from London.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks David. Yes, a few people have said a Saturday would be better for travelling from a distance. We must let Maurice know!🙂

[@Ian-lp1pr]

Some decent stuff there for a quid.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely, some real bargains👍🙂

[@Edo_Marinus]

5:34 That Ellery Queen book (‘The Four Johns’) was written by Jack Vance.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks, great info 🙂👍

It was a pleasure to meet and chat with you again, Jules. I had a fantastic time and got some great £1 bargains as well as a few nice things from Bob. Of course, the high point of the day for me was going to Maurice's book barn with a few others. No £1 bargains there of course, but Maurice was very fair with the books I found (mostly Philip K Dick). It was a fantastic day, and it certainly got pretty busy in the afternoon which was great to see. I look forward to the next one. All the best, Jason.

[@JulesBurt]

Fantastic, thanks Jason. Yes, a trip to the book warehouse is really worth it but of course,. not practical for loads of people at once. It was a great first show and I'm sure there will be another at the same location soon. A Phillip K. Dick video is on it's way btw

[@davebrzeski]

I look forward to seeing you at the Innsmouth Literary Festival!

[@JulesBurt]

Great stuff Dave, do say hello. Dorset Bob will be in attendance as a dealer as well

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

The AE Van Vogt is wonderful. I have soft spot for him. My first Science Fiction novel I ever read.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Sherri, yes, I like him too.

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

@@JulesBurt I inherited my Dad's collection. So I am in good shape with him.

[@JulesBurt]

Nice!

[@peter2359]

Nice to see Ed McBain. I have thought about re-reading some of his books. I have a couple that is not about the 87th Precinct.

[@JulesBurt]

Yes, he did write a few other series, very prolific. A great author, one of my favourites.

Saber, King Of The Jungle originally appeared in the UK weekly comic Tiger, in the 1960s. The strip was reprinted in colour in the 1970s in another weekly boys' comic, Vulcan. Art by Denis McLoughlin.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Andy, great information 👍🙂

[@kennyrh9269]

Hi Jules. Glad I don't live near Maurice because I would need two wheelbarrows to carry all the books away. Nice vid mate - all that pound stuff, something else to be jealous about.

[@JulesBurt]

For Sure Kenny, the bargains are simply insane! £20 for a packed carrier bag🙂

[@outlawbookselleroriginal]

Nice. I'm continuing to stay away from A Format paperbacks currently due to lack of space. I may have a clearout soon....but I will return to the fold next year!

[@JulesBurt]

I know what you mean mate, but when I'm presented with a bargain, I just can't help myself....🙂

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

I could get lost for hours in that shop. There are two shops in Derbyshire. One is Scarthin Books in Cromford and the other is Scriveners in Buxton if you're ever that way. You'll love them.

[@JulesBurt]

I shall bear those in mind. Yes, at least a few hours needed at this venue for sure.

[@kentcordray8675]

I got really excited for a second and then very disappointed when the Quatermass set popped onscreen. I've just binged all three available series and the three feature films. After all that I started looking for paper from the shows last night. Oh well...

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes, sorry, that set sold at the show. Really like those Penguins editions.

[@nickolasschachtsick595]

I saw a copy of The Naked God by Peter F. Hamilton on the shelf. I came across a Pan copy here in the states for approx. 2 dollars at a charity shop chain called Value Village. Do u know much about that author?

[@JulesBurt]

He writes hard SF and his books are very loooong! I hear they are excellent although I've not tried him myself.

[@danjameson1572]

They'd have to drag me out of there with a jaws of life.

[@JulesBurt]

True🙂

[@danjameson1572]

also "Bamboo Blonde" by Hughes, which I see here, is tough to find.

[@JulesBurt]

Tough in the UK also.

[@danjameson1572]

I couldn't help noticing "The Delicate Ape" by Dorothy Hughes in the 3 for 5 rack...quite hard to find in any format over here. That's a tough one for the Hughes completist.

[@JulesBurt]

Good to know, I wonder if it's still there?

[@danjameson1572]

we never see those green Penguins in the States, or almost never

[@JulesBurt]

They are getting quite scarce over here🙂

[@SubtropicBob]

😮

[@JulesBurt]

🙂

[@danjameson1572]

ok the Bamboo Blonde was reissued two years ago by the Wildside Press. Delicate Ape is still in limbo.

[@JulesBurt]

Nice👍

[@danjameson1572]

it just feels like cheating, too easy to go to amazon and order a reissue of something like Bamboo Blonde. I'll hold out for the magic find.

[@JulesBurt]

Good luck!
