I'm going to make a quick coffee and enjoy watching this, cheers Jules 🍵

[@JulesBurt]

Nice, better make it a big one! ☕

[@brendanduffy2367]

@@JulesBurt I have done 😊

[@JulesBurt]

Nice!🙂

[@ModerateObserver]

How lovely that your parents’ books were one starting point of your collection ❤

[@JulesBurt]

The collecting seed was planted early!

[@mocat4]

You are like the Bob Ross of book collectors. I can listen to you talk about books for hours as I scan your shelves. A great stress reliever! What I love the most about you is that you've read so much of what you collect. It's not just an object with an enticing cover and a number on the spine. It's a story, or history, or a fun or interesting read. :-) BTW - I collect Star Trek which is how I found you.

[@JulesBurt]

That's a real compliment, thanks so much🙂 I certainly love my Star Trek books but over the years have tried virtually every other genre out there. It's great fun sharing these on KZbin, thanks for watching 🖖

[@hughminor9369]

FANTASTIC! What a collection. I am so jealous. LOVE PAPERBACK BOOKS.

[@JulesBurt]

Awesome, thanks Hugh!🙂👍

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’ve been so excited for this, and I am not disappointed. Thank you for the thorough tour! This was great, and very relaxing.

[@JulesBurt]

Brilliant, thanks Cameron, it took quite a while to film but worth it I think🙂

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

What an amazing collection, a lifetimes work. Wow!

[@JulesBurt]

You said it! It's even worse now🙂

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

Of course, like the rest of us you still want to collect more books. But it is amazing,@@JulesBurt

[@JulesBurt]

@sherrirabinowitz4618 thanks🙂

[@intercide]

Nice one. Enjoyed seeing that hardback edition of Mysteries of the Unknown tucked in there.

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes! That book is an absolute classic, loved it as a kid🙂👍

[@johnbowles5399]

What a library! Fantastic collection of books. Thanks for sharing this with us Jules. 👍

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure John🙂👍

[@johnbowles5399]

@@JulesBurt I'm also very much looking forward to seeing a video showcasing your Tintin collection. I was a huge Tintin fan growing up and actually learnt to read at an early age with the help of Herge's excellent stories. 🙂

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes, well the first Tintin video is written, it just needs filming. I have an Asterix one to go out first. Definitely on the agenda though👍🙂

[@anthony8385]

I hope you got them insured. I'm always worried about a house fire and losing them all!

[@JulesBurt]

It's a risk, we are very careful.

[@sylvanyoung]

I forgot to comnent on the yellow spine Daw books, and the Pocket Books....👍👍

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes, a deep dive into the first 100 DAW books very soon Sylvan🙂

[@TediousMilkshake]

Could you make a video showing off your entire Target book collection? That would be so epic!

[@JulesBurt]

That's a possibility 👍

[@pbofan]

Just started it up...settling in with a Coke in hand, and looking forward to the show.🙂

[@JulesBurt]

Excellent news, wonder if you'll spot anything unusual 🙂

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

Interesting story about the guy who was held hostage. Pretty wild that he wanted to collect them again for old time's sake. If I were a hostage I'm not sure I would want to revisit that period in my life, haha! But I guess they provided him with comfort, so there's that. What a fascinating story. Edit: I love how the Hard Case Crime books look on a shelf! You mentioned they've had recent success with Stephen King's recent work, but they've also gotten into the graphic novel and manga business, believe it or not! I recommend Ryuko, which is a gangster story about a badass chick on a motorcycle, written and drawn by world renown sculptor-turned-cartoonist Eldo Yoshimizu.

[@JulesBurt]

I think that's what it was, a comfort thing rather than anything else. I did know that Hard Case Crime did those comics but confess to not having read any yet. By the sound of it I better give them a try🙂

[@ben8447]

just watched this video-a real feast for the eyes. Incredible collection.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend!🙂

[@sylvanyoung]

Good call on the Edge book a copy will turn up soon. Star Trek, Who....So much to say...Thanks Much 🤗🤗🤗🤗👋👋👍👍

[@JulesBurt]

You are so welcome

[@dav1dpri0r]

What we really need is quick look at the building these sit in. Great to see the books but I can’t picture the layout of the shelves.

[@JulesBurt]

Hi David, have a look at the two Shunting videos that were recently on my channel, that'll give you a pretty good idea. The first one is here....kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTXnYiXrqllZ5I

[@CreativeoE]

So beautiful more more books

[@JulesBurt]

Indeed!🙂🤔

[@BradHollerbach]

Great collection, Jules and so tidy! I'm jealous. I loved your Pan Advertising card and that little Penguin statue. So cool! When were those from? While I have a small collection of U.S. Penguins (I don't really collect them) I do have a vintage wood and metal table top display. You have a nice collection of Mapbacks. Early Dells in nice condition are hard to find. I believe Dell used cheaper bindery resulting in a lot of books with spine slants. I was surprised that I only saw one Pocket Book UK edition (Pickwick Papers). As a US Pocket collector I've started hunting for them. They are not easy to find especially here in the US. Have you ever encountered any of the UK Ace DOUBLES? I think there are 3 or 4. Thanks again for the video.

[@JulesBurt]

Hi Brad, I'll try and answer the questions as they come, over a few replies....the Penguin statue was from a promo about 15 years ago, I was given one by a Penguin book rep🙂 Glad you like the Pans, they are a favourite. I'd like to see that wood and metal display you mentioned....

[@JulesBurt]

I do like those early Dell's, especially the mapbacks, just so hard to find in the UK. I'm not really a big fan of the UK Pocket Books, that one is in really nice condition though. Not got any UK Ace doubles though🙂

[@BradHollerbach]

@@JulesBurt I have about 6 of the UK Pocket Books. Not sure the exact number, but I'm guessing they printed maybe a hundred. I'll have to take a photo of it. However, while checking my laptop I did find a photo of another Penguin sign I own. What is your email address? I will send you the photo.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Brad, it's my name, no spaces, @gmail dot com

[@kimrobinson6280]

Fabulous thanks Jules 😃

[@JulesBurt]

Nice, thanks Kim🙂

[@cln8077]

Wow, what an amazing collection. I think i even spotted an Usborne Spy's Guidebook there! I loved that book as a child, the Colin King illustrations really caught my imagination, i remember trying out lots of the activities in that book! Happy days 😀

[@JulesBurt]

You've got sharp eyes, yes, The Spy's Guidebook and The Detectives Handbook, amazing books as a kid!

[@varsityathlete9927]

Do you have a specific wish list of titles you need, like for example in the Pan series, or any other series.

[@JulesBurt]

I do, for vintage Penguin books mainly but also some Pans. If you contact me through the Facebook group I can share my list with you🙂

[@hath6617]

1:43 interesting book title

[@JulesBurt]

Which one?

[@rexx9496]

I'm curious, how many years did it take to amass a collection of over 10,000 books?

[@JulesBurt]

About 35🙂 Obviously, this is just my personal collection. When I had a shop, we had probably combined books, comics and magazines, about 50,000.

It is Jerry, my all-time favourite book. Special prize if you can spot how many editions of that book is in my collection!🙂

To paraphrase harlan Ellison, why would you want a library full of books that you've already read?!! And us fans all know what his collection was like :)
