Vintage Dell - Mapbacks - Paperbacks - 1943 to 1962 - Cleaning My Collection!

Vintage Dell - Mapbacks - Paperbacks - 1943 to 1962 - Cleaning My Collection!
In this video I look through my entire vintage Dell Mapbacks paperback collection. I assess which ones need a little cleaning, either pencil marks inside or the covers need a careful polishing. A couple need spines re-gluing. It's also an excuse to go through these wonderful books again and see just why they are so collected today.

Another interesting selection. I spotted a couple more pseudonyms. A.A. Fair is Earl Stanley Gardner. Robert Kyle wrote some of the books published as by Brett Halliday. His real name was Robert Terrall. I'm sure there are more.

[@JulesBurt]

Indeed, thanks Dave. Yes, sometimes I go through in advance and look them up! Not this time though. The books are lovely though🙂

[@shaina899]

I couldn't bear to erase all those marks--I love finding used books with little notes, or pictures, or dedications. It's like a glimpse into a briefly intimate part of someone else's life.

[@JulesBurt]

I know what you mean but as a collector, I prefer them as close to new as possible.

[@redwawst3258]

Vintage Dell. 😎 love em!

[@JulesBurt]

Me too, these are due another look at I feel.

[@garylovisi357]

Jules, lovely group of Dell mapbacks, look in nice condition too! Great to see all these. Thanks for the shout out.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Gary, pretty tough to find in the UK but I've always liked them.🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

I think the maps were a great idea . How cool to have a map of the area of the mystery. Excellent stuff Jules. 👍😊

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Alvin, yes, they were indeed a cool gimic and make these paperbacks a lot of fun to collect 🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

Such a nice collection. Something to be happy to have. Another great video Jules.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jimeagle6636]

Used the same eraser in college. It's the best.

[@JulesBurt]

Yes, it seems perfect.🙂

[@jimeagle6636]

First! (people still do that?) I love Mapbacks and have a few but I'm out of room and can't collect them. I am trying to finish off the first 1000 Gold Medals.

[@JulesBurt]

Cool, I would love the first 1000 Gold Medals, filled with such great titles by authors I'm enjoying today.

Mignon G. Eberhart is an amazing (pen?) name.

[@JulesBurt]

You said it🙂

[@jimeagle6636]

A micro fiber towel might do better on the dust and less wear on the book

[@JulesBurt]

I shall investigate, any particular brand you would suggest?

[@jimeagle6636]

You need to buy some paperback glue for spine repair. Amazon has it.

I'll investigate, but happy with my Pritt Stick🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

Is there anything worse than a abridged book ? Should be against the law. 😜

[@JulesBurt]

It's true, I'm definitely not a fan of abridged books but 80 years ago, guess they didn't mind🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

@@JulesBurt That's why I never liked the Readers Digest condensed books. Seems like it just ruins the story. You know the authors didn't like them. But I guess the money made it easier

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely right, I wouldn't read a Reader's Digest if I was paid🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

@@JulesBurt Always liked the little magazine. But it's been years since I looked at one.

[@JulesBurt]

Me too, wonder if it's still in print?
