Rummaging in a secondhand bookstore, George Bernard Shaw unearthed one of his own works inscribed to a friend, "Compliments of George Bernard Shaw." He bought the book and sent it to the same friend, further inscribed, "With the renewed compliments of George Bernard Shaw."

Great Expectations was my “gateway drug.” I was assigned it in the 7th grade (12 yrs old, USA). Until then, I was a bright, but reluctant student, an underachiever, a lonely girl from an unhappy home. I put off the assignment until the very last minute. I had to lock myself away in my room on the weekend before a Monday exam. I fell into & in love with Dickens & reading (especially binge reading, which was then a necessity, but became a passion) and it very much saved my life. My world expanded. I made so many friends in books and so many of them became the mentors I did not yet have in life. I grew up to become a teacher so I could open this world to children like me. I was the first person in my family (as far back as I can tell) to go to college. I graduated with a Masters from Columbia University and my daughter, after me, graduated from Harvard & University of Pennsylvania (Med School). My life has been one of poverty and prosperity, rejection and love, and yes, the triumph of good over evil. All made possible I believe, from that beginning, that weekend when I read about Pip’s journey through those same themes. And thereafter, read about other lives and how I could fashion my own. Through reading, I learned I could “write” my own story. Last secondhand bookstore purchase (a couple weeks ago): Roots by Alex Haley, The Children by David Halberstam, Aloud, Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café edited by Miguel Algarín and Bob Holman, and A Poem for Peter, The Story of Ezra Jack Keats and the Creation of The Snowy Day (childrens book) by Andreas Davis Pinkney.

You have such a wonderful voice for narration, I think it’d be worthwhile investing in a pop-filter for your microphone. I find that the audio in videos where you’re speaking before the camera are far clearer than your voice-overs, and I think you have a chance to keep dramatically more people listening with a simple upgrade and I think they should.

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Thank you :) I do indeed have one of those, but for a few reasons needed to disband with it for a few reasons recently. We'll pop it back on soon!

There is a library here that sells used books on donation basis. I will sometimes pick up an old book that is battered just because it looks like someone needs to love it.

[@bradchristy5002]

Tremendously educational and plain fun. I envy your access to such a marvelous bookstore. Your encouragement on supporting second hand book stores is right on the money. Congratulations, and remember I am grateful for your opportunity at this store and sincerely appreciate you including us in enjoying it!

[@DUFMAN123]

In Melbourne there is a wonderful secondhand bookstore in the suburb of Warrandyte. A charming old cottage on the Yarra River repurposed into a store, with each room denoting different genres. I picked up four books. A rarely seen copy of Sholokhov The Don Flows Home to the Sea, Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, Arrian's Campaigns of Alexander, and an old Fontana history of Europe edition.

[@contretemps6565]

You have a real enthusiasm for books! 🎉 With all these books around, you are like a kid in a candy store, asking for all of them!😄 And unpacking them with great care and pure pleasure. Hope you will never lose it and it will always shine through.

[@eddyk2016]

I've just come across your page Ben. Fantastic stuff. Really enjoying the blogs. I've always found libraries very comforting spaces. I like the very old ones with dusty carpets and squeaky floor boards. People that love literature are always hippy chilled too. Great vibes

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Thank you, Eddy :) I really appreciate that! I'm totally with you on that one. I relax immediately when arriving at a library!

[@PhilipFClark]

Ben, if you ever find yourself in NYC, you must visit Argosy Books, one of the city's oldest surviving, still-family-owned vintage book store. It was included in the wonderful documentary, The Bookseller's--a remarkable tribute to New Yorkers who love, read, and treasure books.

[@contretemps6565]

And Mercer Street Books, too 😉

[@lisavitale8410]

Honestly, I haven’t been to any bookstores physically since the pandemic 😷 started. I end up shopping online at independent bookstores or finding vintage books online through ETSY or AbeBooks and having books delivered to my home when I make any book purchases. I also enjoy trading books 📚 by visiting Little Free Libraries when I can.

[@codyclaeys2008]

Yeah, I'm usually not one to buying repetitive books but les miserables anytime i see a different copy I'm tempted to buy another one

[@douglasclark4809]

The last used/seconds bookstore I visited was Desperate Literature in Madrid, Spain, where I purchased a volume of Frank O’Hara’s poetry.

[@peskylisa]

Thank you Ben! I noticed that in the background you had a copy of the Riverside Chaucer. Oh, God, I had to read that beautiful monster in fourth year university and it was difficult! LOL. Sigh. Sadly I lost it in a fire a few years ago and it broke my heart to lose my library. In this manner, I can re-claim it again through your nice videos. Thank you so much!

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Beautiful monster is the perfect description! I suffered with Troilus and Criseyde, but The Canterbury Tales was good fun :)

[@gabrielle_vx]

I visited a secondhand book shop two weeks ago (first time in 2 years due to the pandemic) and it was LOVELY! I picked up some books by E. M. Forster, T. S. Eliot, and Thomas Mallory. The booksellers were fabulous!

[@suswik3682]

Last weeks in summer 2022. My daughter and I were in a really wonderful 2nd hand/antikvariat book shop in Haga in Gothenburg, Sweden. Sadly, not such a chatty owner. We found Jane Eyre in English for only £4.00 approx. Fairly recent publication, 2012, lovely painting on front cover. I hope to soon get back to my native Edinburgh and go to my favourite bookshop ever in Bread St. The dog, the chair, the smell of generations of books. Have you looked in charity shops? They are great for hidden gems or favorites. Just hard for me to find them in English. I read Oliver Twist in Swedish last year, just not the same. Stuck in my Tudor/Stewart world just now with Eric Ives. Thanks for your content. Cheerio.

[@summerlakephotog8239]

Hi, Benjamin. I’m currently reading Dharma Bums. Japhy in the novel is actually Gary Snyder, a poet and Professor Emeritus at U.C. Davis In California. (Still hangin after all these years.) Kerouac absolutely loved him in the novel and swore off drink(it didn’t last) because of him. Snyder was my favorite poet in the 60s but not so much in the 2020s…haha.

[@DATo_DATonian]

Another excellent video! Loved to see your favorite bookstore. I wish I could show you mine. It has similarly been a big part of my own life. I own and have read (cover to cover) Churchill's entire history of WWII. Churchill once famously said, "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." Well, he did write it, and even though it is in his own hand there are elements which run through it which, when considered in summation, present him in a less than favorable light, and I'm certain he did not write it this way by design. The series is definitely worth purchasing and reading, and I do not mean to diss it. It is a highly detailed compendium of Churchill's experiences during the war years.

[@briancoveney3080]

I have just scored my own copy of Riverside's Chaucer, in splindid condition. Nice piece. ' didn't know I needed it until I saw it.

[@elizabethmurphy3931]

I am Green with ENVY! Those Beatrix Potter titles were my first literary loves as a child. I raised my two boys on them as well. They have been replaced by new volumes in the hopes of grandchildren one day. Nothing could be better for the little ones! Oh those Folio Society volumes are a dream!!!!! Those Don Quixote volumes look beautiful. Alas, this type of shop is difficult to find in my area, so I will simply covet your finds from afar.

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Ah, yes! My aunt and godmother used to read the tales of Benjamin Rabbit. I seem to recall that much of my childhood bedroom furniture had Beatrix Potter decoration (cushions, bedspread, and so on). These bookstores are rather difficult to find in my area too - as I'm currently travelling quite far across the country for house hunting, I try to make the most of it and find a nice bookstore whilst I'm in the area :) The next one of these will be in the Cotswolds town of Tetbury!

[@victoriaowen6366]

A lovely bookshop tour. Thank you for sharing this little gem, and for making me feel a little less guilty for owning duplicates! 😅 I love a good National Trust second hand bookshop and always leave with something. As you say, there’s a dearth of independent sellers in our towns and villages, and it’s very sad.

[@nickwyatt9498]

Hi Ben, so glad I discovered your channel the other day. I've done a lot of posting since (sorry) but I'd like to add one question - what's the Charing Cross Road like for bookshops these days? Back in the 80s when I was a teenage book fiend my idea of heaven was a Saturday morning starting off at Foyle's and working my way down to Poole's at Cambridge Circus. With a diversion to the shop in Cecil Court run by a notoriously irascible old party who actually seemed to hate the idea of handing over one of his books for cash. And then walking back up to the Pollo restaurant in Old Compton St where I would gloat over my purchases while knocking back the Frascati and awaiting my pollo sorpreso. Truly happy days. Is it still like that?

[@nl3415]

I've been on a binge-watch of many of your videos, and I could write this comment in any of them I feel, so: Thank you for whetting my appetite for literature even further, and it's quite a tonic to hear your enthusiasm and experience!

[@Andrew-sc2yz]

Great tour. I’m a collector of history books, and particularly Churchill’s works. I’m pleased you left The Second World War set. Because it is actually a six volume work, not five. You should wait to pick up either a full six first edition set in jackets, or a full set of the more luxurious and definitive ‘Chartwell’ editions! ✌️

[@annewoodborne1254]

Your vlog made me salivate. I thought of Cranfords my go-to 2nd hand bookshop which I used to haunt. Pocket-sized ' Hereward the Wake' read when I was 8. The first book that made me cry. They stuck Hereward's head on a pike. I was inconsolable. This vlog brought back so many memories and smells of old books.

I always wanted to try Plath

[@mcmov]

I live near Asbury Park, NJ which now has a book COOPERATIVE! I was looking for a lot of stuff they didn't have, but they did have Song of Solomon. So that is what I bought.

[@HIgginFlips]

The self-control of not buying everything in that shop is astounding! ha ha!

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Tell me about it!

[@DressyCrooner]

@@BenjaminMcEvoy I would be so tempted to bankrupt myself...

[@TRamone01]

When visiting my daughter in California we visited San Francisco. I missed an opportunity to stop into City Lights when Ferlinghetti was still alive. Not to see him or anything. Just to be in the store while he was still with us.

[@nicole73551]

OH! How I could lose some coin in that shop! I likely would if I were anywhere near it. Alas... I live far far away and I must experience the virtual visit you offer - and be so tempted yet know that I do not need to resist the temptation to buy everything as I am not standing there next to you able to buy anything. I'm glad you got the Don Quixote books. Fabulous covers regardless of translation. When I first saw you show them I was thinking I would buy them for you If I were there. But then, I'd have bought the Clarissa set for you too, and probably others. Plus gone on a buying spree for many for myself. Alas, there are no second hand bookshops where I live, and the closest one requires an 80+km trip, which I have done but given it doesn't change much there's rarely something new for me to see and I seem to personally own more gems of books than the shop itself. I suppose this lack leaves me so much more enticed by seeing what is out there and being preserved within such virtual tours.

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Oh, yes, it took quite a lot of restraint not to amass a huge pile. The entire collection of Hardy and Austen, plus some of the early signed editions of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ray Bradbury, and Haruki Murakami were very tempting. I also couldn't possibly turn down the prospect of being bought Don Quixote or Clarissa :) I used to love virtual tours myself too. There was a time for many years when I was living abroad that I didn't visit bookstores. Making up for (in search of?) lost time :)

cool tour! 🤗.. I agree with you on supporting small bookstores, last time I went to one was 2 yrs ago, I bought "All the king's men" by Robert Penn Warren and "Imperial bedrooms" by Bret Easton Ellis..that bookstore though, closed down last year...I do hope after the pandemic, small bookstores and bookshop owners will manage to come around & return..anyway, keep up the interesting content Ben & enjoy reading your new old books purchase ☺!

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

Thank you for your kind words :) I've had Robert Penn Warren's book on my to-read list for a while. Is it worth diving into? :) Bret Easton Ellis is great - I also picked up Imperial Bedrooms from the two-pound bookstore in Oxford a while back. I think the lockdowns sparked a love of literature for many people, so fingers crossed we get our indie bookstores back!

[@ronetteskiestante4064]

@@BenjaminMcEvoy Hi Ben!, :) not sure about Robert Penn Warren's whole body of work, but "All the king's men" is a good one. It's poetic, political, & relevant and won a Pulitzer Prize! The way he started the book got me hooked, had a hard time putting it down, it just flowed smoothly! Check it out if you got the chance!

The Sassoon on hunt society looks interesting, I have Simon Blow's Fields Elysian from the eighties. I like to read about England between the wars. Don't you love the smell of old bookshops? You picked up several, enjoy. Aside from chain bookstores with an old book section, the last independent used and rare bookshop was 2005 and I picked up a first trade edition of Doctorow's Ragtime.

[@BenjaminMcEvoy]

The smell of old bookshops, and old books, is easily my favourite in all the world. It immediately soothes me and brings me back to childhood. I do enjoy a good chain from time-to-time - many of them have also gone the way of the indie and secondhand bookstores unfortunately. I have beautiful memories of wandering through the aisles of Borders :)

Oohhh how wonderful, a dream of a place!! I have that whole set of Shakespeare Folio Society…I have had it for years and never read it until now. Bonkers what! Sooo many beautiful and exciting books. Did you dream about that after your trip. Sneaky preview about Middlemarch 😜 bit jealous of ALL your purchases. Ps I am going to Hay on Wye in November but I do not believe it will be as good as this. My last trip to a second hand bookshop resulted in an Everyman Frankenstein..and a book from 1931 called Mr and Mrs P…(my surname) it is complete rubbish but I had to buy it

Half Price Books in Dallas is a second hand bookstore that just got too big. It moved from it's original location in a funky old restaurant building built like a pirate ship to a former department store next door some 20 years ago. Now they buy lots of job-lots, unsold stock from publishers so not strictly "second hand" but it's still an interesting place to browse if your in Dallas. There are satellite locations around the Dallas area as well, and they sell online. Bookstores in my city are pretty poor. Went to B&N last week to pick up a copy of Moby Dick but they didnt' have any Melville, no Shakespeare, no Dickens, no nothing really but hundreds of shelf feet of throw-away romances, manga, and bullshit religious stuff about angels and the power of prayer and jesus up the wazuuu.
