Great video Jules, Seance on a wet afternoon is good film to watch , often shown on Talking Pictures tv.

Thanks Martin, I shall investigate 👍🙂

[@daveac]

Enjoyed that - about a third of them I've read - mostly being the SF ones rather than Horror :-)

[@JulesBurt]

Fantastic Dave, I'm like you, read about a third plus most of the Pan Book of Horror Stories when I was at school🙂

[@daveac]

@@JulesBurt The quality list of those authors in the anthologies was eye-opening - loved seeing E C Tubb in one of them :-)

[@JulesBurt]

Yes, they are excellent, not read them all of course🙂

In Argentina the Herbert van Thal and Cinthya Asquit selections did came in translations to spanish throught "Editorial Bruguera" in his serial "Libro Amigo" from Spain.

[@JulesBurt]

I did not know that Sergio, thanks my friend 👍

Jules that Department of queer complaints is connected to the Boris Karloff tv series Colonel March of Scotland Yard. Great collection I too collect the horror titles.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Maurice, I had no idea. I've not seen that series either. Great information 🙂👍

Bit late to the game here Jules, but I have the same copy of The Red Planet by Charles Chilton and it's rippled identically to yours which seems very odd. The more I look at my copy, the more it looks like a binding flaw as there are no stains on it to suggest water damage. The way your pages bunch up especially on the title page (which mine does too in exactly the same way) definitely suggests a manufacturing flaw. Or maybe the whole print run was left out in the rain! Who knows but it sure seems an odd co-incidence otherwise 🤔

[@JulesBurt]

Wow, this is unusual. I have seen at least one really beautiful copy of this one, so they are out there..but...maybe our copies did get caught in the rain🙂

"Under The Influence" sounds unintentionally hilarious. Like imagine some drunk in the pub coming up to you and being like, "What color am i thinkin of- no, wait - what color are YOU thinkin of? What? Red?! No no wait, neverminden that. I'm gonna tell ya, which one of your neighbors is the next Jack the Ripper, by - get this, mate - reading your mind! Yeah I'm gonn read your mind, or 'is mind anyway. *belch* OoooOooHhhhh..... just one pint is all it takes, hows about it then? Hey where you goin?!"

[@JulesBurt]

I think you're absolutely right! 😂 Maybe a sign of the times, who knows!

[@rexx9496]

Jules what do you think is the absolute oldest book that you own?

[@JulesBurt]

I have a paperback published in 1887, I think that's the oldest🙂

[@grantross2609]

funny how the front covers on old genre pbs are in good shape while the spines often ain't !

[@JulesBurt]

Not sure why that is tbh...

[@grantross2609]

many of Rider Haggard's stories read a bit like SF tbh !

[@JulesBurt]

It's true!
