Very enjoyable video, Jules! I bought some of my magazine collection through Abe Books. I usually only used it when I was tracking down individual hard to find issues because, as you mentioned, it can be quite expensive compared to Ebay.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Tom, I've used it a lot for books, never for magazines though. Hope you're well.🙂

[@TomElvisSmith]

When looking at books older classics in general what does print impression 4, 9, 13th vs book club edition when looking for a 1st print?

[@JulesBurt]

It would mean they are reprints. You either need the book to have printed 1st edition and nothing else or a row of numbers with 1 being the lowest. Book clubs are cheaper editions released after the normal hardback.

[@General_reader]

ABE prices are so overpriced, that I question if there isn’t illegal activity going on

[@JulesBurt]

It's funny, more than one person has said the same.....suspicions of money laundering...

id love to be a book collector but I still live with my parents wont let me have books lying all over the place and I only have one book drawer because we don't have room in out house for book shelve and my mum only allows me to buy 41 books at a time and my book drawer only holds 41 books, I can only read one at a time and it usually takes me a month to get through one book, my parents are 72 and dad 74 so hopefully I can follow my dream and collect the books well by the time there 100 or less whenever ill plb be in my 50s or 70 yr old by the time I can get to do that, I guess that is still young? but till then ill have to either dump them or give them to charity shops and librarys.

[@telsataylor2032]

Try music magpie and soffits good for selling books well im in Scotland uk, it might be diffrent down in England, but a few hint doing that my charity work uses to see books.

[@JulesBurt]

Nice, the charity shops can be good sources.

[@telsataylor2032]

@@JulesBurt can I still become a book.collect when I’m in my 50s or 70s? I just started being an avid reader now I’m 39 yr old, I used to be an avid reader growing up but been in a book slump for yrs finally block out of it come December last yr, now I have found away to get me out of a. Book slump it will save me fe going back into a book slump, I used to be an Egyptian ornament collector but male growing up more mature in so many ways lol, so I’m hopeing to become a book collector sometime.

[@JulesBurt]

You can start at any age, just concentrate on buying the books you enjoy reading.

Facsimile dustjackets? Interesting. Personally, I'd rather have no jacket at all, but I suppose if you buy facsimile jackets you won't have to worry about paying a premium for a real jacket that turns out to be a fake.

[@JulesBurt]

True, it's a personal choice I think. I like them if they are well printed. The company in San Francisco is very good and they're facsimiles are marked as such, so no confusion 👍
