A Brattle Book Haul: My Boston Pilgrimage 

That's another malady we may be suffering from: So many books, so little shelf space! Thanks for watching.

I've thought a LOT about that! I think much of my inspiration for Maverick Trails was the old William S. Baring-Gould "Annotated Sherlock Holmes" which always fascinated me, it was soooo immersive. Mine was the same basic approach, but for Maverick instead of Holmes. For a book, though, I was always concerned about copyright issues for images and things. But ... maybe a RU-vid version? Hmmm...

I have the Folio Society poets series. They are excellent. I have other editions for annotating, which I'm big on too. I just found your channel, but l already like your style and interests. Steve is one of my book heroes.

It was a very satisfying haul. The Brattle did not disappoint!

I still hope to get back to it one day! Thanks!

Indeed! I've thought about a separate channel for that project, but not sure how best to organize it. We'll see!

Thanks, Mark! I made the pilgrimage but, if you're jealous of me, what about that Steve? He lives just minutes from that place!

Ha! I had the same thought!

Thanks you! I've gotta figure out a way to do more of these. Glad you enjoyed it.

I like to think of them as steampunk Mad Magazine. Thanks for watching!

Well, dog-gone it! I have NOT read it, but I looked it up on Amazon and it sounds excellent. So now, a copy is on its way to me. Thank you for the recommendation and for watching!

Oops. You weren't supposed to see that!

​@@jscottphillips503 but why not? I adored Jeannie and Major Nelson; still do!😂

@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 It's kind of hard to explain. I keep putting it away for safe-keeping, but it keeps reappearing on that shelf behind me!

That's a great idea! I may join you on that one! There was also a series of Maverick comics from Dell from 1959 -62. AND, strangely enough, several hardcover "annuals" produced in the UK in the early '60s. And, as Bret often said to the townsfolk of Sunny Acres, "I'm workin' on it!"

@@jscottphillips503 I love that line.😄

Each show was complete. No cliff hangers. There was an element of humor to it, which you'd expect with any project involving James Garner. I was more a fan of Wanted: Dead Or Alive, and The Rifleman.

Maverick was a BRILLIANT show, produced by Warner Bros. from 1957 - 1962. Back in those black & white days, TV shows were just episodic, and didn't really have over-arching story arcs like they do today ... so it did NOT leave you hanging. In fact, the episodes weren't even meant to be in any kind of chronological order week to week. One week it was 1870, the next it was 1876, then it was 1872, etc. That's what made my maps and chronology such a challenge! And such was its popularity that two sequel series were produced 20 years later, so you DO get to see what became of the Maverick Brothers long after the original series. Bart Maverick even made a late-career appearance in the final "The Gambler" TV movie starring Kenny Rogers, set after the turn of the century. So... give it a look! I believe you can find it on Amazon Prime. And thanks!

@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 Thanks, I'll have to look for it. Oh, The Rifleman! I somehow came across it while channel flipping and instantly fell in love with it.

@@jscottphillips503 Very cool, thanks! Oh, you are right. I forget that older shows were like that.

That was sort of my point. We don't need to edit original manuscripts, whatever the source, for the sake of the ever-changing sensibilities of later eras. Leave us, at least, the historic continuity as it was originally intended. We can figure it out for ourselves!
