Pulp Fest Tour & Haul!! Vintage Paperbacks Galore!!

[@SubtropicBob]

Great video! Thanks for the shout out for our Men’s Adventure Library series and congrats on getting POLLLEN’S WOMEN signed by Sam’s wife, Jacqueline. That’s a special keepsake. It was very cool to see you there. I hope we can link up again at PulpFest 2025. Love your reviews, Amigo. Cheers!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Yes! It was so great to meet you and Wyatt also! Next year I need to book the hotel earlier as I feel we missed out on a lot of the hanging out and socializing because we were in another hotel.

[@fireballcomics4383]

What amazes me about Pulpfest, as I watch peoples videos, is how I walked around there for three days and still missed things. I picked up that very copy of Terror By Night seen at 4:00 and also picked up a copy of that Zacherlys book from another dealer. I'm already saving for next year.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

That's what I'm saying! There is SO much stuff and it's all amazing. It's like your brain goes on overload and can't process everything.

[@DuncanMcCurdie]

One day I will have my travel documents up to date and enough money to attend one of these pulp conventions! Very jealous.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

It was so much fun! I mean, anyone can order this stuff online but just to be in that environment made it special.

[@lsauthor]

Pulpfest was awesome! Great video!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Yes it was! Thank you!

[@comicsprogressive]

Happy hunting grounds! Great video.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

thank you!

[@PulpMortem]

LOL Wallace and Grommit werewolf killed me! I'm jealous, I need to go next time!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

What were they thinking with that cover??? It's so...odd. But also...awesome.

[@PulpMortem]

@@TheBookGraveyard haha I would have bought it

[@redwawst3258]

I have a modest collection of of old boxing story paperbacks. Love em! I’ve almost got a complete collection of the centaur press book as well. They’re awesome!

[@sfwordsofwonder]

Looks like fun, I've never been to any fest but this one looks like fun.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

It was my first experience with anything like it. There is an LA paperback show which would be closer to you.

[@BadTasteBooks]

Good gravy! You guys went all in! My finances couldn't handle it, but now I really want to go next year!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

I set money back for four months just so it wouldn't wreck me

[@klipkultur3680]

Oh man I would have picked that Spys movie book (7:45). Paperbacks you couldn't imagine that do exist...

[@TheBookGraveyard]

I'm consistently surprised but what exists. Like, a Golden Child book. What?? I don't know Spys though. I'll have to check it out and then I'll be kicking myself for not picking up the book haha

[@secretfirebooks7894]

That old copy of "The Lurking Fear" is gorgeous! Your wife's a saint, Nick. 👍

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Indeed she is! Of course, now technically it's her book. haha

[@chrisw6164]

I could get into a lot of trouble there $$$

[@TheBookGraveyard]

yeah, it was bonkers. Even being cautious, I went over a little.

[@alanzimmerman3289]

Great haul! And you didn’t even have to figure out if they were bag worthy! They were already bagged! I am going to have to leave my house next year to attend PulpFest.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Ha! Totally. I did rebag some of them with my usual ones though because I like them better and am maybe a lunatic.

[@alanzimmerman3289]

@@TheBookGraveyard I too am certifiable. If I take a paperback out of its bag, and the bag in any way gets wrinkled, I throw away that bag and give it a new one upon its return. I’ve also been known to buy a reading copy of a book as opposed to removing it from its plastic sarcophagus.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

@@alanzimmerman3289 ha yes! Hey, they are our precious.

[@kid5Media]

I want Zacherley's Midnight Snacks.

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Sneaking up on 1000 subscribers. Best wishes with what you are reading and to your channel.

[@StormReads]

Oh that would be so awesome to go too! I love vintage paperbacks.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Me too! It was so cool to be surround by so many cool things

[@christophergranczynski25]

I love that the copy in the blurb of The Chameleon says that our hero Vance Garde is "mild-mannered" and then proceeds to tell us how he has a short fuse with Vance being "aroused to a fury by the slightest injustice" and that "a rude remark, an annoying glare" will "set him off." 🤣😂🤣

[@TheBookGraveyard]

He's a mild mannered rageaholic haha

[@thekeywitness]

Jealous! I would go broke there.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

It can very easily get out of hand haha

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Didn’t think the opening punk music was appropriate, but loved seeing the show! I would have needed a lot of dough for this one. And remember that in every hobby, especially collecting, there are always know-it-alls who resent newcomers as though you are trespassing on their exclusive domain. It stinks, but thank goodness there are many more friendly veterans who love sharing the wealth! Thanks for the great video!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

Weren't into the punk huh? haha. I have some book haul videos with jazz in them. I like to switch it up. But yes, thank you for the welcoming comment! After putting this together I wish I would have said it in a more joking manner as I thought it was hilarious he asked me if my intention was to read it, but it does seem like I was upset, which I wasn't. Everyone has been super friendly; at pulpfest, in the facebook book groups, on youtube. It's a very pleasant and helpful community.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

@@TheBookGraveyard It looks like my earlier response vanished. I hastened to reply that I really enjoy your videos and channel so far and am looking forward to watching more! I also recommend a channel called JULES BURT. Jules is also a paperback collector and produces really good content. Check it out! And keep the videos coming!

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

@@TheBookGraveyard My reply keeps disappearing! Just wanted to add that I like your channel a lot and look forward to more videos! Do you know Jules Burt and his channel about paperbacks? I highly recommend checking it out. He’s got great info and is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Your wife has great taste in horror (and no, that’s not a reference to you!).

[@joshdean5449]

Awesome video! Great selection of books. I really like your channel.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

@joshdean5449 thank you!!

[@StivNagen]

Was your copy of The Dharma Bums a first printing? I see that now you are turning into a Monarch completist. That's how it starts; you begin by just buying random books because you find them appealing, and suddenly, ten years later you find yourself sucked into the vortex and you end up like me...wanting every book, but realizing that if you continue that way, you'll have no room. So, you move onto only collecting certain publishers, hoping against hope that you might be able to manage your collection better. Alas, it doesn't work that way. No matter what, you will eventually have boxes of duplicates and piles of "Why did I buy this?" books. But I do enjoy watching your descent into the depths. Great video.

[@TheBookGraveyard]

haha this comment is like a book version of scared straight!! And yeah, the Dharma Bums was a first printing Signet.

[@StivNagen]

@@TheBookGraveyard You'll see... The footage you shot of you at the Pulp Fest reminded me of myself at the LA Paperback Show in the late 1990s; lots to look at and people to talk to. Then, as the years passed, I found less and less that I "needed" out there and it wasn't worth enduring the hellscape of Los Angeles to go anymore so I just stopped going.

[@kid5Media]

I'd rather have the Cry Horror for its Powers cover.

[@redwawst3258]

I have a modest collection of of old boxing story paperbacks. Love em! I’ve almost got a complete collection of the centaur press book as well. They’re awesome!

[@TheBookGraveyard]

I wish I could find more of the boxing books. Of all the books I desire they are the ones I have the most difficulty finding. And yeah those Centaur books are so cool!
