A Second Visit To - The ERIC Gadd COLLECTION - 7500 VINTAGE Books - With Maurice Flanigan!

Wonderful collection. As already mentioned, the art work on some of those books is mind blowing.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely, it really was something quite special. I doubt we'll see something this in-depth again for many a year.

Thanks for the take along . This is quite the collection .

[@JulesBurt]

It sure is Sylvan👍

The art deco imagery and fonts of so many of the books are incredibly nice. I could see framing them onto a wall as art and it would be very striking.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely, Eric had a real eye for the thirties design.

The Pocket Lending Library are actually postwar items. The covers were all commissioned by Oliver Brabbins to execute. I've had two of these before, and nobody showed the slightest bit of interest in them when I tried to show them. The colors signify the genre.

[@JulesBurt]

For sure, never came across them myself, not the most attractive of book series.

A little sad to see, but at least his collection is being appreciated.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely, it could very easily have just ended up in the local tip, seriously.

Penguin books have the blandest covers ever, imo.

[@JulesBurt]

For some, that's their charm.
