[@JulesBurt]

Love those DAW books Gary, the guide has been reprinted and now available on Amazon.

Hi Gary. Naturally I was delighted to see your appreciation of the DAW yellow spines. It was good to get a US perspective and always great to see those wonderful covers. I was particularly interested in that Jaffery retrospective. Must get me a copy of that from somewhere and thanks for providing the information because I was totally unaware. Thanks for the shout out by the way - I can use all the help that I can get 😄. Anyway great stuff and I hope you can add a few more to that bunch.

Hi, Kenny, thanks for the kind words. All best to you.

Awesome video. Have a stack of these myself, mostly in non collectible conditions, but I love the covers and still pick them up if the price is right.

Gary, it's great to see you on KZbin. I'm reading a DAW yellow spine Vance right now: Nopalgarth. I'm going to try and track down that A. Bertran Chandler book.

[@garylovisi357]

Great to hear from you. That john Grimes space opera series is great fun. All best to you!

8:11 Thank you. It truly was disturbing, Gary having such a soft voice...

[@SubtropicBob]

Great covers!

[@garylovisi357]

Thanks a lot!

I do have a number of DAW Books, but only those written by my top three SF authors: Marion Zimmer Bradley, E C Tubb and James H Schmitz. Amongst them, I have the majority of the Cap Kennedy books - although some of the titles I have in the Gregory Kern collection were republished in the UK by Mews Books and retitled "F.A.T.E." books (Free Acting Terran Envoy) for some unfathomable reason.

[@garylovisi357]

Yes, never figured why they changed the titles. These are three of my favorite sf authors too, so many i could not mention them all.

Love those DAW covers even though some of those books weren’t very good. Nonetheless I have a few, including a couple with Bob Pepper covers.

[@drewproductions1358]

covers are very nice but how are the actual stories of these vintage books? tried to read a few before (especially the early Nortons) and they could not hold my interest. different times, different tastes IMO.

[@garylovisi357]

Depends, some are surprisingly good, others surprisingly bad. A mixed bag.
