Expert Science Fiction Collector DEMY SHELF TOUR: HARDCOVERS & ASSOCIATIONAL BOOKS 

The outlaw doing a shelf tour...I'm totally here for it!

Watching the back catalogue and throughly enjoying

I'm loving these videos not knowing a lot about science fiction and fantasy. Do you think you'd ever do an overview video on Anthony Burgess and his work?

Great . Our taste seem to be akin . My overflowing two + deep packed shelves mirrors yours but mine are Daws , Del , Signet et al paper backs . The " cool " thing about a over stack book shelf ,you " find new stuff " .I found a couple of Vonnegut ' Galapagos ' and ' Welcome to the Monkey House ' I wish I had a Tardian book shelf . Who knows I may get one .Thanks for the tour ,show and tell .

I aspire to have a collection like this one day thanks for sharing

Very enjoyable perusal, as ever. I did weep seeing the original spines of 'The Toynbee Convector' and 'Fevre Dream' though, as I bought them on release and subsequently got rid during a clear-out twenty years ago. (You likely get a lot of that...). Looking forward to a possible future Colin Wilson post you mention. He's gone out of favour somewhat since his death, but, I'd argue that's all the more reason to re-evaluate him.

When can we expect your Unusual SF films review,been looking forward to That

This was incredible! I must email you to try arranging an interview - we could talk for days!

Good to hear that Golem100 is good as it’s on my TBR. The Effinger trilogy is underrated-not as dense as Gibson but satisfying.

Another Excellent video,Highlighting Your Enviable collection Thanks I too have a small house and all my Shelves are Double Stacked,and I have to Move furniture Around to Get to Some of them. Oh the joys of Book collecting

Wow, I had no idea that Pebble in the Sky was big enough to warrant a hardcover release back then. I have a Galaxy Science Fiction novel edition of the story. The cover on that edition is something else!

I'm glad you rate Keith Roberts' "The Event". He wrote it after a boozy pub session (what else are pubs for) during which I challenged him to write a story in which almost nothing happens. I have a signed typescript of the story somewhere on which he acknowledges that.

That place you're thinking of at the bottom of Charing Cross Road was definitely Fantasy Inn, which amusingly advertised itself as being "6ft under The Book Inn". Many fond memories of that place, and the paperbacks that came out of it. Went up in smoke under mysterious circumstances, didn't it? Fantasy Centre was a different place altogether on the Holloway Road. Enjoyed the mention of Millington. They did the 1st hardback of Keith Roberts' ANITA which has proven quite influential though seldom acknowledged as such by those who have profited most from its conceit. An interesting title to tackle at some point.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I quite like the the UK Moorcock hardcovers particularly the covers for Hawkmoon and Corum, also like them having all the novels relating to the particular series/champion in one volume. Great content!

I never knew "Diva" was based on a book. Great film, very original, one of my favorites.

Hey Steve, you got a shout out from "Steve Donoghue" on his Boston public library book Hall vid from today! expect a bump in subscribers! He is wonderful if you appreciate his flavor of professional/ book lover. have I mentioned that I've been plugging you a few different places?

I used to know exactly the dimensions of Royal, Demy, and so on were. Back when I worked for a publisher. All lost to the depths of my memory now.

such an interesting man
