When is a book not a book?

Tim has a great number of items in his collection which LOOK like books, but which turn out on closer examination to be subtly different, and in many cases not to be books at all.

[@BreadApologist]

1:12 That book isnt to bad, but after the 1st few chapters theres a huge plot hole

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

Schned maybe he was talking about the mechanic of the camera book (Sorry if I got anything wrong, I not English :( )

[@sweetblazincronic9]

Could be, I was just poking fun at my good ol' friend Tim.

[@redbean9906]

Schned Yea XD

[@joeschembrie9450]

I'm just amazed he can do these videos without a single cut.

[@ayaavalon6213]

He couldve taken the time to do it but he prefers to get right on to the next item without wasting time

[@austinfaust3374]

"Big surprise" *maintains straight face*

[@futhamucka]

FunOrange You can tell people who grew up outside the age of vinyl are starting to populate the world.

[@RFC3514]

FunOrange If you ever get a time machine, check out the 1980s, they're full of wonderful things like that. :-P

[@carlbruschnigjr1757]

+FunOrange, I had one of those books. I wish I would have taken better care of it.

[@Doc_Fun]

+Dan Reader Buddy, they've been there for a while, and they're most likely you, since KZbin's primary demographic are around that age now. Just because your mom or dad had a record player doesn't mean you grew up in the age of vinyl - CD's have been available since '82, and compact cassettes since '62. Records were outmoded a long, long time ago.

[@Andrew_in_the_garden]

Ooooh, I want a lamp like that! :D

[@r3d0c]

you need some good ass battery's if you gonna replace that for your lamp.

[@joynulhaque7586]

This video brought up a fond memory. When I was in primary, one series of books I read was Captain Underpants. Hilarious stories and in the middle, there was 2 pages where you hold onto each corner and flip it to make George and Harold do something funny.

What was the bottom white book with black and red text on it? At the start of the video? Seemed interesting.

[@grandillusions]

***** The book is called 'The Art of Looking Sideways' and is described by the publishers as 'A lifetime of reflection and observation by master designer Alan Fletcher.'

[@klanny22]

Love the one with the record and player built in!

[@immortalsun]

The book lamp is fascinating. I wish I had one!

[@DutchManticore]

Tim is the only guy I know who'd be of genuine intent when he says "Smart idea!" when someone uses a big book as a doorstop

[@rockerseven]

it's amazing what kind of novelty books we used to have before touch screen tablets and microchips. a book like that little record player would just have an electronic soundbyte in it now.

[@TheTrueRandomness]

That book lamp is amazing! They're apparently making a "mini" version that'll include a charging port for your phone but I wish they'd put that feature in the large version, too.

[@hardstyle3196]

Awwww snaps... ...now I won't rest till have that same lamp book!😝 Lol

[@muniraragina4342]

Mr. Tim you have an extraordinarily facinating personality.

[@pilli10]

I feel Tim would love what they were selling at a local craft market last month. They turned the pages of books into hedgehogs and business card holders, all sorts.

[@BeastOfTraal]

I love those flip books. There is a series of flip books depicting classic movie scenes like The Empire State Building scene from "King Kong", Skipping through the Poppy field scene from "The Wizard of OZ" , or the crop duster scene from "North by Northwest"

[@emilyaquino7003]

The book lamp is so cool!!

[@dodoguy]

I was having a bad day but this just maked me grin :) thanks

[@tinkerchel]

@2:00 the 4 animals instantly reminded me of "Town Musicians of Bremen" (German: Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten), a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm.

[@pascalsvl]

I love that he doesn't even bother explaining the butterfly in the Dictionary

[@RhiBread]

when i was younger i had two "books" that when opened, were actually paper houses. one of them was a renaissance-style castle, and the other was a vintage looking house. you'd open them up 360º like the book light shown in the video, and you'd have quite a few rooms, and two floors. there was plenty of cute little secrets like a closet under the stairs, or being able to open and shut the castle gates.

[@EJFerny]

That book lamp is amazing

[@Svoorhout85]

I saw a peculiar brand of liquor in the window of a shop once. They were vials stored inside a false book titled "Writers tears".

[@Excelsior96]

2:00 That just blew my mind. I know what vinyls are, we have some of them. But I had no idea they could be played without electricity. Holy hell. Where can I buy such a thing?? That you know, isn't for little kids. Like imagine having a portable, non-electric "Bohemian Rapsody"-book or something. Fantastic party-trick!

[@boxcarz]

I thought that last one was gonna be one of those prank books that catches on fire when you open it.

[@GrummanAlbatross]

I was at this yard sale that was in front of a home for deaf elders and I found this peculiar little book that had a golf course on every page, it came with a little ball bearing and a club amd you would hit it into the hole and do ot for all 18 pages, I jever found the little book but it was my all time favorite
