![I Bought Another Vintage Sci-Fi / Fantasy Collection [Book Haul]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uCythy2Tk-0/mqdefault.jpg)
This is basically the contents every bookshop from youth, and I now feel very old. So glad cover art has improved since the 80’s and 90’s.
Some of the covers are pretty Damn cool I have to admit.
Over a third of the books I sold in the two book chains I worked at in the 80's (Coles, the Book People! from '83 to '87 & B. Dalton Bookseller in 88/89). The cover art on a great many of those were *EXCELLENT*! Michael Whelan, Darrell K. Sweet, Don Maitz & Steve Hickman! However, many are crap, too.
Bujold’s Miles Vorkosigan and Brust’s Vlad Taltos series are excellent…hard to give up. But I know they are now in good hands.
Those Clark Ashton Smith & Lord Dunsany books are worth a pretty penny!
Tough Guide by Diana Wynne Jones (also wrote Howl's Moving Castle) is so good! It's just a glossary but it's completely satirical making fun of fantasy tropes. I have it in paperback but that hardcover looks amazing!
it looked like a lot of fun
This is already in the running for the most epic book haul I've ever seen... and it's only part 1. My goodness.
it was pretty epic
Edgar Rice Burroughs is the creator of Tarzan and the Mars books (Barsoom/Jon Carter). Old stuff.
Jack Vance is the man, I’ve read a couple of his so far. If you play DnD, Vecna is an anagram of his name. Dunsany is a very classic fantasy author, before Tolkien. He is kinda like a mix of Tolkien and Sword & Sorcery I hear, I’m actually hoping to read him soon.
Yo those copies of Clark Ashton Smith, I wouldn’t be surprised if those are pricey. And those are like the orignal Conan novels as edited by de Camp and Carter. Wow
I haven’t read Lovecraft either but from what I’ve heard he kinda regretted and changed his racist stuff from earlier in his life. Pretty typical for the time period, ignorance and all.
Yes, there are collectables in there!
This was awesome Dan! Ok you absolutely must read Shannara! Terry is one of my favorite authors. Altered Carbon was an amazing sci-fi show. I’ve been wanting to read the books. Pirates of the Caribbean did base one of their movies on the book On Stranger Tides. It was fun lol.
thanks Chas! I did not know that about the pirate books!
I'm loving these! I'm secretly hoping Ralph has found a pocket dimension and can endlessly get you books because I never want these to stop! I can say the Vlad Taltos series is really fun. Like Harry Dresden in a more fantasy setting with dragons. Starts with Jhereg.
yeah I think I got the whole series by the looks of it. I feel like I've read the Brust books or atleast a few of them. Sometimes I'll be 30 pages into a book and go wait this sounds familiar then find out I read it
I have heard great things about Bujold, and Brust
So many!! I've read a fair few and have on my shelves a bunch of others. Vlad Taltos is like Harry Dresden in a fantasy world with a small dragon companion. They have great mysteries and a cheeky plot. I didn't have a lot of success with the first Foreigner book by Cherryh but I feel like I need to revisit that one.
Canadians, lol. We're so proud of each other. Nice haul so far! I've heard of quite a few more from this haul so far. I'll drop my book comments in discord 📚
I have one book by Chalker that I’m really wanting to read. Same with Brust. Classic stuff, I haven’t read them but I think you’d like them. You gotta keep Bujold, she’s great.
Yo, Gates of Ivrel! I’ve been wanting that one for ages, I hear amazing things about it and Cherryh in general. It’s like a science-fantasy S&S, so maybe a kind of Sword & Planet thing.
I have that exact same mug
Shannara is one I need to get more into. Sword is reallllllly derivative, but I really enjoyed Elfstones and Wishsong isn’t bad.
I know Jack Chalker from his Well of Souls books. He has some interesting ideas so look into his stuff.
You going to show your library after all of these additions?!?!?!?
thats the plan! I am moving houses in the next couple months so once I am set up in my new place I will be doing a new bookshelf tour
Lovecraft was a bad guy but his stories are great. There is some good audio stuff for him on UA-cam.
Thanks Dillon for the recommendation
Not read it, but Vlad Taltos (Brust) is one of those that I've always been hearing about. Shannara can be good too, though if you're like me, you'll skip Sword!
Yeah I really want to get into these, I have a sneaking feeliing I have read them. I spent many an hour at my local library as a kid and would sit their and read for hours. I'd grab anything that had a dragon on the cover.
I haven’t read Signal to Noise by Eric Nylund is a great author.
Mel Odom, he wrote some FR stuff.
Those Ringworld covers are great, I would at least read the first one. Niven isn’t great at characters but his concepts are fantastic.
I hear good things about Moon, especially her Deed of Pak… series.
Magic of Recluse is the first in that series, I think it’s in first person (?) but I haven’t read any yet by Modessit.
I plan to give Ringworld a shot
I've heard good things about Lois (Sth) Bujold, but never read anything so 😅
Patricia mcKillip I've read but only the Riddler-Master trilogy.
Eta that I saw you got the first book of the trilogy
thanks Kyriaki!
yoou uploaded beautiful ! take care~;))
Cj Cherryh is pronounced Cherry lol
I reject your reality and substitute my own 😂
@@TreeBeardBookReviews I love this saying
I think it's sad that Ray Bradbury's most well known work is the worst thing he ever wrote.
Which book, Fahrenheit 451?
@@TreeBeardBookReviews Yep.
I enjoy the book, it does have some dark themes though. Which would you recommend? I want to try the Martian Chronicles especially not that I own a copy 😋
@@TreeBeardBookReviews He's a brilliant short story writer. Read his short stories. It's a whole new world.
Oh I’ll have to take a look
