The Price of Salt was written by Patricia Highsmith under a pen name, and gained a lot of attention the other year when a movie version came out under the title 'Carol'. Not surprised to see it going for high prices.

Awesome information Ian! Thanks. I love Patricia Highsmith, surprised I didn't pick up on that!🙂

[@TheJuzi]

Wow, i love these videos, i learn so much thank you:)

[@JulesBurt]

Excellent, my pleasure! Happy to be informative!🙂

Dorothy Kilgallen was a controversial newspaper columnist, and regular panelist on "What's My Line?" Her sudden death by booze and barbiturates is still considered controversial to this day.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks for the information. Does her untimely passing contribute to her collectability, do you think?

[@scribewell]

Absolutely. Her death is prime fodder for conspiracy theorists, who like to point out how she not only interviewed Jack Ruby, but reportedly kept a secret file on JFK. (Lee Israel's 1979 "Kilgallen" is a good source, and also goes for big bucks on Ebay. My copy was gifted to me by a friend who was clearing attic space.)

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks again, great information.

[@ianfryer8386]

William Irish was a pen name of Cornell Woolrich, while I know of Dorothy Kilgallen through her being a panellist on the original US version of What's My Line. She was mainly a prominent journalist and crime reporter until her early death in 1965, which many have linked to the Kennedy assassination plot.

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes, more excellent info Ian, please keep it coming! 👍🙂

[@ActionFigureGrader]

This was a great watch, Jules!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks mate, amazing to see what some of these books are selling for!👍🙂

[@SubtropicBob]

A great and fascinating episode, Jules! I see several I once had in my collection that I guess a shoulda kept.

[@JulesBurt]

There's a few I regret letting go too! 🙂

[@sylvanyoung]

[@JulesBurt]

👍🙂

Excellent show Mr Jules! Wow, its just hard to believe how some of the movie tie in books go for soo much money. If I only knew, I could have easily had those books years ago and just kept to sale them later. The James Bond book you showed last is just unbelievable! Great investments for sure! Great video sir! Thanks!🥇👍🏻

[@JulesBurt]

Cheers Danny! Yes, some of those movie tie ins, just ridiculous! Also, the Pan at the end, incredible!👍🙂

[@michaelgardner2088]

Nice video. Ive got a few of these still. Terminator, lost boys. Picked up a nightmare on elm street omnibus recently at a car boot for 50p ( didnt know its value) that goes for around £60

[@JulesBurt]

Amazing Michael. The movie tie ins were the biggest suprise in these, with the exception of that last book🙂👍

[@martinwells5747]

Wow. I have a 3rd Imp. PAN OHMSS but I cant see how a 1st is that price.

[@JulesBurt]

All copies were exported, so the 1st three printings are scarce. This one was in top shape. There are actually three different versions of the 1st, completionists have to have them all!🙂👍

[@lindastone6868]

Project Blue Book is dead unless another network takes it on. Another good show bites the dust!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Linda, a shame, I was really enjoying that show! The episode where they were on the set of Close Encounters was superb!🙂

[@sylvanyoung]

Thanks. Wow...where to begain ? Ok i can understanding putting down a pile of cash for a first eddition , a complet set of a series , a book by you fave .As a reader/ collector i will do the same. But i cant get over the price of some of the movie tie ins 🤔🤔🙄🙄 But to quote one of my fave KZbinrs " it is what it is " lol . That Doc Savage collection had me salivating . The Carter Brown cover art...spot on...lol . They remind me of the early sci fi/fantasy covers with the ladies with the flawless looks despit the conditions and monsters. (Ditto on the quote ) . Thanks and bye . Ps maybe you should copyrite ( right ? ) that quote .lol

[@JulesBurt]

Lol, yep, some of those movie tie ins were just unreal, never seen anything like it! But...it is what it is🙂 The Doc Savages were gorgeous too....

Hi Jules, very much enjoyed this video as ever. On a side note-do you collect Dandy and Beano annuals? I've given myself the task of trying to collect all between 1970 and present day and then looking pre 1970. Would love to see a video on these kind of books if you have them in your collection. Greetings from Roborough, Plymouth.

[@JulesBurt]

Hi buddy, close enough to reply, shouting out the window! Sadly, although I've had loads through my hands over the years, I've never personally collected them. I'm hoping to 'borrow' bits from other local collectors that I can showcase on the channel so I'll ask around🙂👍
