Donald A Wollheim - Daw Books - Numbers 1 to 100 - Classic Yellow Spine Action!

Donald A Wollheim - Daw Books - Numbers 1 to 100 - Classic Yellow Spine Action!
In today's video we take a detailed look at the early career of Donald A. Wollheim and his fantastic SF and Fantasy DAW Books list. These DAW books have been a feature of my vintage paperback collection for many years but last year, I received an absolute motherlode which is only now, finally getting sorted.
In this video we take a look at numbers 1 to 100. Although I've not got them all, the dozen or so I'm missing are all pictured so you get to see every book jacket.
I do hope you enjoy this video. I'll get to Part 2, numbers 101 to 200 soon.
If you enjoy this video, weather for the book cleaning or for it's ASMR qualities, please leave a comment below, thanks!

Amazing collections.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks 👍

[@outlawbookselleroriginal]

That was great, Jules, really enjoyed it. I actually have some of the ones you're missing (and of course you have many of the ones I don't have, me not being a completist). Good to see you referring to the SF Encyclopedia, it's been my bible for many decades, great book!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Steve, I really enjoyed putting this one together. I've tracked down another three that I was missing since filming this (including the Lumley). The SF encyclopedia is fantastic, so detailed. I've hundreds more DAWs to get through. Would love some POS for the collection 👍

[@Shelbyproductions]

I have a real soft spot for DAW books

[@JulesBurt]

They are great fun to collect. I need a bit more room for mine as they are expanding fast!🙂

[@SubtropicBob]

Amazing as always. I still have many boxes full of science fiction novels I bought back in the '50s, '60s and '70s, but your collection is mind-blowing!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Bob. I love this older SF and DAW books have a special place in my collection 🙂

[@VDRP]

Thanks for posting this video, I already own numerous Daw paperbacks and it's nice having a list of what to look for.

[@JulesBurt]

Excellent, my pleasure 🙂

[@mrdavidpedersen]

I think I just fell in love.

[@JulesBurt]

These are lovely 👍

[@ScottManton]

Another great video Jules. Some fantastic PKD shown here!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Scott, yes, I really enjoyed making this one. Which I had a few more DAW pkd.

[@MatthewLikesToRead]

Wow! What a fantastic retrospective at the beginning of the video!

[@MatthewLikesToRead]

This video is tempting me to browse Ebay! 😆

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Matthew, those bits take ages to put together 👍

[@JulesBurt]

Be strong, look for joblots! I've looked up my missing numbers on eBay, could three gaps cheap, the rest are all $10 upwards a pop.

@@JulesBurt It's always a good feeling when you find what you're looking for!

I have a 3rd printing of Darkover Landfall in pretty good condition. I found it to be an enjoyable read!

[@sylvanyoung]

Thank you so so much . I was so looking forward to the deep dive into Daw. Thoes covers...eye catching. And the authors , many i have collect , read and are faves. The Gor books...i remember the looks of disapproval i got from my hard core SF friends . Lol . Along with LRH...still very collectable. " it is what it is " lol . I will say no more . Till next time my friend .

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Sylvan, I thought you might enjoy this one🙂 Looking forward to the next hundred soon👍

[@annakonda6727]

Wow!All my Daws were bought second to 11th hand and are rather beaten up- it's great to see them all together here and n such good condition!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Anna, I've had the chance to upgrade them quite a bit over the years. Still plenty I'm missing though🙂👍

[@user-kz9ot4zv5e]

Thank you for this video. My brother collects SF paperbacks, however he is interested in certain authors only. I once bought him a box of a couple dozen vintage Andre Norton books for Christmas, but he did not keep them -- there were 2 or 3 of her Daw books in there. ~~ Jim in Indiana

[@JulesBurt]

Cheers Jim. These were always meant to be disposable. 👍

I've been lurking your channel for a while now, but I decided to subscribe right after you mentioned your ideal Hawkwind soundtrack. Quark, Strangeness and Charm is my fave Hawkwind by a mile!

[@JulesBurt]

Fantastic stuff Thom, Einstein was not a handsome fella...🙂

[@donerikson1607]

That The Other Log of Phileas Fogg is a 1st printing. There was a period where DAW used that type 1 to 10 printing notation instead of a 12345678910 number line but stopped it because it was confusing to collectors. I own all the yellow spine 1st printing and most of the later printing, except of course the elusive, here in the US, Canadian 2nd printings.

[@JulesBurt]

Brilliant information Don, thanks. They are very little online for collectors to reference. Unlike some other publishers. I envy all those 1st printings. I've got three more from the first hundred since this was filmed. Including the Brian Lumley 👍

@@donerikson1607 Thanks Don, that's a great help, Jules.

[@andyl4277]

very informative. I recently started collecting these and just love the yellow spines and the artwork. The stories can be hit and miss lol

[@JulesBurt]

That's for sure Andy, glad you found it useful👍

[@thekeywitness]

I recently picked up the Daw edition of PKD’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch with art by Bob Pepper for way too much money but I had to have it.

[@JulesBurt]

They are lovely editions of his books but sooooo expensive 👍

[@alvinmarcus5780]

What a beautiful collection. Lot of great hours of escaping reality. Me being a Koontz's fan I would have to read his. Never knew DAW published him. Great set Jules. Hope you pick up the few your missing. And in as good condition. Your's are in great shape. Really enjoyed this vid. ❤️

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Alvin, I enjoyed filming it immensely. These are great, I'm hoping to find some next week at Hay.👍

[@tgoods5049]

Are these books well written and captivating?… the cover art looks amazing and makes me want to give one a try.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely, but there are a few duds of course. Have a little check over on the goodreads.com website to see if the reviews are generally favourable. Then you'll know if the book is good. The DAW edition is always great fun to read. Retro and cool🙂

[@dazbry7612]

I have just finished a book called Star Maker by olaf stapledon , wow not a bad story , i really enjoyed it

[@JulesBurt]

Nice, was that a Daw book?

[@dazbry7612]

@@JulesBurt I wish lol ,with all those great looking titles, no it was under a different company

[@JulesBurt]

Fairs do's buddy, you can spot an old Daw miles away with that destinctive yellow spine 👍

[@rexx9496]

Do you have other L Ron Hubbard in your collection?

[@JulesBurt]

I do have at least a couple of early Panther paperbacks. I used to have all his early pulp stuff but had to let it go. Ran out of space.👍

[@burnerlearner5664]

I bet it's lovely, haven't found one for my collection in ages👍
