[@garylovisi357]

Jules terrific video on the show and thank you. Good to see my buddy Tom Lesser at the show and interviewed cheers!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Gary, I only wish you could have been here too Gary. Maybe one day I can meet you in NY.

[@garylovisi357]

@ be great to meet you, Jules. If you ever get to nyc let me know.

[@JulesBurt]

@@garylovisi357 You got it my friend!

[@Cat7842]

I was gutted to miss the show Jules, travel issues and getting up to London too difficult. Thank you so much for the video, I am really enjoying it. It looks like you all had a wonderful day x

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Cat, yes, a few people ended up missing this one due to the weather. It was a cracking show, full of bargains, next time🙂

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Man, what a show! I would say this is the best show you’ve ever covered for the channel and what brilliant coverage it is! I don’t know whose stall you were looking at during the interview with Steve Holland, but man there was a lot of great stuff there! Thank you so much for showcasing this Oz wonderland of historical marvelous! ❤

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Glen, yes, I was really pleased with how this one came out. The stall behind Steve Holland's was Dorset Bobs!

[@theprofessor5253]

I was there and it was great to meet you Jules. Thanks for the bookmarks!

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure 🙂

[@BooksandRadioPlays]

I love watching these book fairs with you. I have to say considering the weather I have been hearing about in the UK, you are a hardy bunch of readers.

[@JulesBurt]

Mere bad weather won't stop us!

[@OmnivorousReader]

Great video - many thanks. It is just great that there are such places somewhere in the world. A bit sad that they are nowhere near me, but thank you muchly for sharing.

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure, it was a truly great show🙂

[@comicbookcrazy]

A wonderful video, Jules! I saw so many things that I would have purchased. I wish we had things like this in the States, I never see them advertised where I live. Thanks for letting me “buy” things through you. 😊

[@JulesBurt]

There are a few US shows, Chicago and L.A.👍

[@michael5089]

Watching now Jules. Absolutely wonderful stuff. ❤

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks so much🙂

[@marksmith-ig5xl]

I agree with the assessment from Tom on your videos. I appreciate the content and knowledge you share with us.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks so much Mark, really appreciate that🙂

[@Jim17735]

What a great day ! Got a decent bag full, much as I love your videos Jules they show me all the ones I missed 😁.....always next time ! I do wish these shows were a bit more frequent perhaps quarterly but do get the dealers stock issue, I didn't get to say hello as you were always already chatting to someone but love the Chanel

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks so much my friend! I know what you mean, I really wish I had more time to shop but with filming and helping Bob plus meeting viewers of the channel ...the day just slipped away! I too wish these were quarterly🙂

[@danjameson1572]

love those Harry Stephen Keelers I have a few of those

[@JulesBurt]

Nice! 🙂

[@codex3048]

Great score with that original art at the end.

[@JulesBurt]

Isn't it lovely?!

[@danieldelvalle5004]

Fantastic video, Jules. Makes me want to travel to UK for the next one. When I watch your videos I can almost smell those paperbacks. Great stuff.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend. You'd be welcomed with open arms🙂

[@outlawbookselleroriginal]

What you need to do Dan is come over, meet up with us and visit Dorset Bob- that would very much suit you!

[@danieldelvalle5004]

I'm very tempted.

[@JulesBurt]

@danieldelvalle5004 🙂👍

[@hognatius_valentine9057]

Nice to briefly chat with you at the book fair. I wish I could have stayed longer. I feel I have to plan for the next one with military precision to get the most out of it. I was able to stay within budget though. But as always these post book fair videos are great, but they always remain a bitter reminder of all the stuff I passed up 😄😄

[@JulesBurt]

You are absolutely right. I have spotted a few things now I wish I grabbed but I suffered the book blindness!

[@hognatius_valentine9057]

@@JulesBurt 😄😄Absolutely

[@JulesBurt]

We all suffer from time to time!

[@RichardGalliers]

More great content Jules. Was lovely to get a chance to chat to yourself and Bob. I came away with a good haul! It was busy but a fraction less than the last one but the weather and no Piccadilly line due to engineering works certainly didn’t help. Keep up the great work.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Richard, glad you managed to get some books. Slightly quieter this show but not much. I expect the March show to be mental!

[@sylvanyoung]

22:34 " no comment"😂 good answer .Good books, interesting people with lots of memories and info . Yes Tom was correct in his grade of your channel and he ment it . I agree 💯%. So, so much to see and buy, walk in with a 20£ and leave with a box load +. Nothing like that in my haunt .Would like to see some of the Spicy mags( only for the articles of cause 🙈🤭).congrats on the haul .And thank you so, so much .

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure Sylvan, I had a lot of fun putting this one together, pleased you enjoyed it my friend 🙂

[@outlawbookselleroriginal]

More epic coverage, Mr Burt. I may be back in the fray for the next one, but at this point I still feel I need to consolidate the archive by moving some books on. Good to see that bagging is becoming more of a thing among dealers. I visited a bookshop in Bristol the other day where the owner had some choice SF paperbacks- at realistic to high prices- but they were unbagged at the high end, which only means one thing: unnecessarty wear thus reducing chances of purchase at said high prices. See you soon, I hope!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Steve, it wasn't the same without you and I truly hope you can make the next show. Most dealers at the show had their stock bagged up and there were so many bargains, it was such a good event🙂

[@outlawbookselleroriginal]

@@JulesBurt Well, by next time around I will probably have the hunger again! AN dhopefully be well enough!

[@JulesBurt]

@outlawbookselleroriginal let's hope so mate🙂

[@Christian-qu9ml]

Another ripper Jules! Thanks. 😁

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend 🙂

[@frankshailes3205]

Tom Lesser is fabulous! We should sponsor you to go to the LA show.

[@JulesBurt]

That would be amazing! Please suggest it to him🙂

[@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn]

Amazing! What a treasure trove. I wish I could have dropped by. Nice that you were able to interview some of the dealers. Great stuff!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks so much, yes, really pleased with the interviews, more next time🙂

[@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn]

I look forward to it. Thanks!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks!

[@reading_MOVIES]

Some great condition books there. I know a couple of shops that would charge double what i see here for paperbacks that are pretty ratty. A few novelisations I see there i would have snapped up. But it would cost me a lot to get to London and then the venue. I might treat myself one day, though, for what must be a great experience and a chance to meet others who share the interest. I can imagine i would get "book blindness" with that many paperbacks to flick through. So much to see. Thanks for the video.

[@JulesBurt]

Book blindness, it definitely hit me that day, I was a little overwhelmed by all the goodies. An incredible selection though🙂

[@Ian-lp1pr]

Brilliant as always. May I point out though that the insert (top right) covers the price labels of the books you flick through which is a bit of a shame. All the best and keep up the good work.

[@JulesBurt]

It is what it is alas.....sigh😔

[@danjameson1572]

At the 2005 Crime Writers Convention ("Left Coast Crime") in El Paso TX I met the publishers of Ramble House Books (and huge Harry Stephen Keeler fans) who were reissuing a huge amount of his old titles in paperback. I believe all the reissues are now out of print as well. There are nothing like those old hardbacks esp with dust jackets, some of the strangest books ever issued in America.

[@JulesBurt]

I bet they were. Not something I have myself.

[@danjameson1572]

years after El Paso I was at a bookstore in Minneapolis and they unlocked a private room and the shelves were lined with 1st pressings of Harry Stephen Keeler books in the original jackets. True story. They were all in the 75 - 100 quid range, I left them where they were. True story.

[@JulesBurt]

Cool!

[@bertsbooks2505]

Ha ha, there's me in the background at 14.43! Will say hello next time if you're not mid-interview or something

[@JulesBurt]

Famous at last🙂

[@AndrewBuckleBookReviews]

very enjoyable fair, would love to see it there more often and even more dealers there. Picked up some excellent books at decent prices. Got some nice RE Howard items as well as comic related. Picked up some wonderful items from the first part as well before getting into the book fair proper, the tables with the £3 books often throws up some wonderful finds. The other room wasn't bad either (but I wish it was more books / magazines than all the other stuff)

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Andrew, you're right about that £3 stall, all sorts of bargains can turn up there🙂 it really was a great show!

[@MeddyEvalNight]

At 11 pence, that's one and a half pence cheaper than the original 2/6d price

[@Fred-gu6pk]

£3 for the Jeffrey Archer doesn't seem bad. For that, I'd chuck it in the bin for the stall holder.

[@JulesBurt]

🤣

[@grantross2609]

that's the UK hardcover edition of Henry S. Whitehead's " Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales " over Jules' right shoulder in the intro ! Funny how your eyesight latches on to certain things tho.......

[@JulesBurt]

What sharp eyes you have🙂

[@squashchefan]

Great video. I was planning to be there but my health stopped me. So many books I would've snapped up too. Hopefully make it next year

[@JulesBurt]

Great, good luck!

[@codex3048]

Wait, I thought you said Penguin did away with the dust wrappers during WWII because of paper rationing. But the green crime ones you say have dust wrappers.

[@JulesBurt]

Those green crime titles with dust wrappers were all pre-war editions which came with wrappers. The wartime ones don't of course. From memory books 228 onwards were without wrappers.
