SEE LINKS BELOW: This time, they ended up looking at what Graham is selling in a vain attemmpt to make shelf space after Steve bought a few things to help out. There is the usual trenchant comment and an incorrect assertion about about Ramsey Campbell's pseudonym, but otherwise it's the usual deathless nonsense about TV/Film tie ins, SF, Juvie and Sexploitation vintage paperbacks and the bad taste humour typical of book collectors who are well past it...

Well, apparently some of those books are not on sale yet- GB is still listing them- so have a look at mine instead. No, seriously, he will get them up and we'll show some SF for sale at some point from GB and we'll do a regular video before too long. Hope you thought it was fun anyway.

This is weird. My comment was supposed to have been posted on one of Michael K. Vaughan's videos, where he was sorting his vintage SF collection. I think my tablet had started playing yours while I was still typing the comment on Mike's, and it got moved.

"Back to proper criticism next time, we promise!" LOL, OB. What a great episode of GOM. Stellar! The cover of Sapphire and Steel showing David McCallum reminded me that I've seen him very recently, as a regular on an American TV crime drama in the "CSI" genre. I remember watching "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." with McCallum as Illya Kuryakin when I was a kid, the series obviously coat-tailing off the success of the James Bond/Ian Fleming craze during the early 1960's. Trivia aside, I look forward to these episodes with Graham, and thanks for the links to book sales etc. As always, great content, quality, production and especially presentation! Cheers.

I was only joking of course- most of them are fine, really- it's just the knee-jerking orthodoxy of woke sloganeering that I find depressing in some young people. I worked with students for years and loved it.

The Statler & Waldorf of SF are back again! I especially loved the tie- in books you shared. I had first printings of both “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” and “Star Wars”. Both were in PERFECT nick but “disappeared” during a move. I still haven’t gotten over it. This was a very entertaining video, Steve.

Thanks for the mention. Paul Campbell is not Ramsey Campbell, either :) The Afterlife book is not a great sequel to Blake's Seven. It's an odd Science Fiction book, that seems to run away to some other distant universe to escape answering any serious questions, but if you are seriously into Blakes 7 you have to read it, so you can then dismiss it. Paul Darrow's Book AVON: A Terrible Novel (I mean Aspect) was also pretty bad, but who didn't love Paul Darrow? The words 'knife with a double-edged serrated blade' will never leave me though, repeated as it is about 50 times throughout the book.

I'm not Ramsey Campbell either -that made me laugh. Perhaps none of us are! Maybe the 'serrated blade' repetition was avant-garde Modernism rearing its head...or maybe not!!! Good to hear from you, Paul.

I've mentioned him once I think- I can't say I've read much and funnily enough I'm about to invest in more. He's not front rank, but very readable, pacy, snappy and full of attitude. He's have made a great hardboiled crime writer is my main feeling, but I have enjoyed his SF, the ones I've read are not dull.

Why are book covers so much better in the past?
@outlawbookselleroriginal
@outlawbookselleroriginal 11 месяцев назад
Because they were drawn or painted by human beings and not put together on computers, which is far cheaper. You may want to watch my video 'Hauntology & Science Fiction: Why you prefer books with the old covers'.

Campbell black is not a pseudonym of Ramsey Campbell…you may be thinking of Campbell’s pseudonyms Jay Ramsey and Carl Dreadstone. Campbell Black was a distinctly different author who wrote a number of thrillers and light horror back in the day, both under his own name and the pseudonym Thomas Altman.

Love your videos. While i'm not a big Sci-Fi reader we share a love of Hawkwind 🫠. Have you a Music Book in your collection I could buy from you that you recommend, Steve, rather than giving my hard earned to Amazon? Thanks... Paul.
@outlawbookselleroriginal
@outlawbookselleroriginal Год назад
Hi Paul, I'm afraid I don't have any music books for sale at the moment. Not an SF reader but a Hawkwind fan? You should try one of the books based on a Hawks song, mate! 'The Best of Roger Zelazny' is out in about ten days in the UK, will contain his short novel 'Damnation Alley', a good read- Hawkwind also took the title for 'Lord of Light' from his eponymous book and also 'Jack of Shadows' is based on a Zelazny. If you just wanna make a channel support contribution, you can tip me on RU-vid via Super-Thanks. Good to hear from you!
