Incredible haul! Looking forward to the auction, hoping for a few awoogas, a chode blaster or two, and a few beefcakes for good measure. Also, hope you checked for signatures...

bro is drinking a la croix

Great vid as usual. You inspire me to read my large collection of SciFi that sits on my shelves looking pretty ( oh - and they do 😊). Keep it up, man. X

Lord of Light is highly highly overrated.

Sadly it will never be Goodwill which is ashame since they are everywhere.😮😮😮

Just gonna tell you right now - A Perfect Vaccum IS amazing. I've not read all THAT much Lem, but APV is definitely my second favorite behind Solaris.

I seem to recall The Hole in the Zero as being particularly good (although it has been a very long time). Also, a number of collections there with Fredric Brown stories. He's a pretty good old-school writer in the vague overlap area between sf, horror and crime (and comedy) - if that makes any sense.

This guy ⬆ inspires billions !

gad-ZOOKS!

Kutners dark world just ok, C.L.Moore wrote this with him.

John Jakes got his later in life fame from a series of historical novels that were set in the American Revolution and they coincided *nicely* with BiCentennial Fervor that swept the nation.

All 60's maybe early 70's. Lost World and Radio Beasts are good. People by Zenna Henderson really good. Princess of Mars also great. Guess you're bound to get a few good books in a pile like that. But that's it. I already have those books.

Books are scarce because no one wants to read them. Tanith Lee is boring. Leigh Brackett is good but the books you have not so much.

So far not at all impressed. Looks like you got scammed.

You are trying to take all my money Matthew, aren't you

It would be a funny video to put everything in the keep pile and sell nothing !😂

Cover for cover I find Panther has the best.

Keep the buttface cover!

I have quite a few timescape books that I'll never read, just because I love them.

Wow, when you held up GOG I nearly fell out of my chair! It's amazing and I cannot recommend it highly enough. PLEASE grab that one, and 'Stations of the Tide' by Michael Swanwick and read them, they are absolutely brainburstingly wackadelic. 😁🦄

Wonder what you think of Ste Sharp or Mick Farren?

bro went from review channel to cringe reseller lmao

Great haul. I'm really envious of the Compton books!

That hardback Earthsea seems to be one of the very few editions that gets the skin colour right...

bp is giddy

Amazing haul, if I saw any of these in the wild I would shit all over my big black cock.

You need to get that Sigma 18-50 for the ZV-E10 for crazy good autofocus and blure, just trying to help

Just finished reading "Star of the Unborn": unlike anything I've read, the product of a very spacious mind, and astonishing for its time. Franz Werfel is fearless here when it comes to boldly speculating, and the reader is shuttled back and forth between what seems almost preposterous and what is brashly brilliant. Plenty of innovative thoughts and philosophizing to chew on after reading. I found chapter 15 to be especially masterfully written. Probably not a book to everyone's taste, but I found it mind-expanding--thanks for the recommendation! [P.S. Just in case there's anyone else out there who can read German, I was able to download the original German version online for free.]

The Daedalus series is wonderful, enjoyed it greatly as they were being published! Rarely see them in book shops, your getting all in one shot is a win, and I still have mine 😌

Many of the titles and covers are familiar to me in Australia, where we have been the beneficiary of both US and UK titles for generations. The illustrator of the Tolkien volume is Pauline Baynes who is most famous for illustrating C.S. Lewis' Narnia books , but she worked with Tolkien first. There is a website dedicated to her.

It IS interesting that you are discussing dystopian/apocalyptic literature in an apparent (it's ONLY apparent because it is Mexico) paradise. Everyone will nod at this because Mexico is associated with cartels, violent drug death, disappearances, and some wonderful people. An old guy like me driving his car down to Mexico sounds like a fully-prepared chicken dinner slowly traveling through a gathering of hungry Christians at a large parish hall. I guess it's okay, but one wonders how things will turn out? It's also possible, one would think, to imagine a world-event like that described in The Stand or covid, that does not involve a violent apocalypse or "the end of the world" but is even more thoroughly lethal. OUR species singly or with some related ones might be completely subtracted by some biologic agent (microbial) that destroys our ability to digest food, for example. Looked at as a geologist would look at things, the earth and its natural systems would quickly wipe out ALL or nearly all traces of our civilization in a few thousand years, and there that blue marble would sit and continue to spin beneath the stars, still packed with life and fluctuating ice caps, but just with no one writing about Trump or Joe, or what the Pope considers heresy. No baseball or football either, and no religion, too. Just imagine......................

Great channel. The only booktube I watch actually

A friend of mine who was a bookman sold Jakes the research material he used to write the Kents. Jakes even did a sword and sorcery pastiche called Mention My Name in Atlantis. It was published by DAW.

Well, I’m depressed

I just finish reading solaris. Thanks You so mush

I can't read

I was just looking through some of my books and realized that I somehow have 2 copies of Shaw’s Fire Pattern…. Same cover as yours. Can’t count how many times I’ve done that type of thing… 😅

You spoke of Spinrad. Have you read Bug Jack Barron? I enjoyed it.

I read "Gray Matters" a looonng time ago as a teen (for probably the cover). I have no recollection of the plot, but I do remember liking it at the time.

On Jakes, he wrote the incredibly popular North & South (basically a civil war soap opera) series. Made into movies & mini-series. He had already given up SF by that time. I always thought he should have got a back hander for Escape from New York. Can't remember the name of the story, but he's definitely the inventor of Manhattan as a penal colony.

What an awesome book haul. I am going to start looking for books by Margaret St. Clair. She sounds very underrated.

Since this a book haul video iu just had to tell someone who "gets it" lol. I just recently (about 3 weeks ago) found, at my local thrift shop here in western Oklahoma, a copy of Star of the Unborn! in I would say pretty nice shape, not perfect but nice! Oh I should mention this is by Franz Werfel. I was like "Holy Shit! " I knew what it was from the look of the spine from 10 feet away. I love my thrift shop! Oh by the way it was a 25 cent purchase! I can't believe it! Peace!

Helstrom's Hive and the Green Brain were Herbert's bug books. There's an interesting film loosely based on it called The Helstrom Chronicles, semi-fiction semi-documentary that argues insects will win. It's an expensive collectors item now, nobody seems to be streaming it, but you can easily find the whole movie on UA-cam.

Dragon's Egg was being passed around and read by my friends at Caltech in the early '80s. As I recall, Forward was a serious engineer/scientist of some sort. Nice hard sci-fi. in the '90s, Greg Egen was similarly popular in the science community.

Nice! Big Yumbo said y'all finally got to meet - Fun.

Re: A. Merritt, The Moon Pool and Ship of Ishtar are the ones that everyone talks about, but The Face In The Abyss is my personal favorite and a good starting place if you want to get your feet wet…

Ophiuchi Hotline, yes that is Varley's first novel, set in his Eight Worlds milieu. (I remember a reviewer complaining it was confusing, with 3 separate copies of one character wandering around. I did not find it so.) The Wollheim "World's Best SF <year>" anthologies I recall as being very good.

You should get good prices on all the D.G. Compton books - they're rarely available anywhere (well, UK or France, anyway). I just checked Abebooks and Amazon . I read Compton's The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe recently (you have it there under an alternative title). Excellent writer. I also read Ballard's The Drowned World recently, in paperback. Not so hard to find, even in France. I'd like to buy from your auction but I daresay buying from France is going to be nuts on postage. 😢

Living in a small town without a bookstore or library, I will be eternally grateful for anyone selling out-of-print books online. The USPS and other carriers are my saviors. 😺✌️

An embarrassment of riches - easy to see how you spent over 3 hours in the book shop.
