Amazing how many of those books, or at least the authors, were part of my childhood and to some extent are still part of the culture today. What a decade!

Sorry for taking so long to get to this video! I always love your Tuesday Book Tag videos; thanks so much for tagging me! I’ll have to think a bit about how to answer these questions… I didn’t know that there was a market for Western books overseas, but I didn’t read my first Western until my family returned to the States, so I wasn’t looking. It’s kind of sad that the popularity of the genre is dwindling a bit. It’s like how the heyday of movie and tv Western has long passed…

Loving these old pulp reviews. I've always fancied doing similar in text reviews, but could never find the time.

Definitely my favourite shelf so far. What a wonderful selection of books 😊

I'd take "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" over "Captain" any day.

I like that cover for The Dark.

What was this country with one television channel?

I think PG Wodehouse explained the pronunciation of Psmith - 'It's pronounced Psmith, as in pshrimp'.

I really enjoyed this video, Gavin. Very interesting! I'm definitely a mood reader, too, so I try to have plenty of tempting non-fiction options on hand as well as fiction. 😊

Love this. Great answers. Many congratulations on hitting 500 subs. So well deserved. Love your channel 😊

Thank you so much for doing my tag! I hope you enjoy your Gurnsback book when you finally get around to it :)

Congratulations, Gavin! 500!!! Yay!!!

Yay! I'm the lucky 500! I'm glad Pat alerted me to your channel. Great job with the tag. I did this one today, too.

Well done, Gavin. I can actually see you writing a book about the pulps--the magazines and individual writers. Your research is always so thorough and so intriguing. In your spare time, you know.

Could you make a list for the mid to late 18th century?

Wow, that was a great book haul! So cool to see such old cover art and hear the fun book blurbs! That used bookshop sounds like a wonderful place to get lost in for a good long while. ☺️

To Your Scattered Bodies Go was excellent. I have second in the series The Fabulous Riverboat queued up for this RWYOC.

I have that copy of Fantastic Voyage (slightly better condition) I also have the sequel (destination Brain) which I need to get to. Really interesting mix of books

I think you’re doing pretty well considering this is only week 2. As always, an eclectic mix of books. Great wrap up 😊

What a great list!!! I love The Hill of Dreams and it's the first time I ever hear it mentioned on booktube! I really need to read more of Machen because of it, I have his story Great God Pan in one of my short story collections. I have on my shelves The Gods of Pegana and The Purple Cloud to read, they both sound fascinating. Wind in the Willows is just wonderful. E. M. Forster is one of my faves <3

What a great list. I will definitely come back to this. Thank you very much!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I love Edwardian literature and have many of these, read or unread 😊. I’m another commenter advocating Saki too 😊

"Do one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar." Don't forget my favorite Edwardian, H.H. Munro. Among other works, his short story collections are available on Project Gutenberg under his pen name of Saki. The Chronicles of Clovis and Beasts and Super-Beasts feature many of his famous macabre short stories, while Reginald, Reginald in Russia (short story collections) and the novel The Unbearable Bassington are satires on Edwardian life and society.

Thank you. Really enjoyed this. I will be thinking of a month to merge with Edwardian all night. 🤗

What a great video! And enormously helpful as well.

That badge, love it! Haworth is on my list to visit :)

When i see vintage books in second hand shops i like them and for some reason put them down 😮 I am starting to really enjoy the covers of these old books. I am collecting Agatha Christie ones.

Ohh i do look a good noisy around other peoples shelves! Some awesome books

Awesome answers! Those classics just get everybody! It’s amazing how we get books planning to read em soon and they just keep getting passed over 😅 I shudder to think how old some of my mixed in tbr is! 😂

I love your shelf tours. This week’s featured the most diverse books I think I’ve seen in your collection. I’m going to be very sad when you run out of books to show us 😊

I'll counter your "Amerian Debt Crisis..." and "Northern Europe in the Early Modern Period..." with "The Origin of Conscioiusness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" and "New England Captives Carried to Canada Between 1677 and 1760 During the French and Indian Wars."

That two-volume of Edgar Rice Burroughs is fantastic. I love the cover illustrations too! Another great shelf tour, Gavin.

I love when you said congress in 2024 would think the world was flat. I'm also doing the read what you own challenge

Books of Magic. They never really made Tim Hunter into anything. It started out great in a 4 issues intro series, apparently went into a long-ish series. But he never got above beginning level and became this great wizard of his age.

So many books I’ve never heard of and some classics I also need to read! 😅
