Unboxing Easton Press and Barnes and Noble classics with initial impressions

- Was looking forward to getting these in for a few months, so this is just my initial thoughts and notes on the condition and quality of these books fresh out of the mailbox (or bookstore for the Barnes and nobles classics.) The Easton press ones are pretty well made, and they'll likely get their own reviews later since they're hard to find online.
That's unbelievably brilliant man! All those books are amazing. Am just amazed. Huge thanks to youtube for recommending your video. Eagerly waiting for more videos from you. Stay happy. Take love man.
Thank you for the support. I've received a few more books recently (3 Easton press ones), so I'll do a look into them soon. More were ordered, along with some from the folio society.
I collect Easton Press books and I enjoy them but I would highly recommend the Folio Society. Folio most always provides plenty of high quality illustrations and and they even provide original illustrations for a lot of their fiction. They have 2 sales every year (summer and New Year.)
Nice video!
Okay, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out c:
The texture that are those in papers are silk along with silk ribbon that those Easton books come with.
They’re most likely chipboard (or “book board”) covered in leather. Chipboard is cardboard but really high end; Think something in between cardboard and MDF.
Awesome collection You've got
Beautiful books!!
I had Tales of Norse Mythology ordered, but the seller cancelled on me and now they're all very expensive, in the UK anyway.
I'd say it's definitely worth the regular price. Hope it goes back down for you soon c:
How do you keep your books so pristine?
The ones read through or on the shelf are just handled gently and temperature / humidity controlled with no direct sunlight.
hello im a new subscriber, I love your videos , library and your books esp the Easton press , are they difficult to handle (especially the chunky ones) and read while lying down?
They're a bit unwieldy for reading in bed, yeah. The leather and such makes them a bit heavier/stiff than others. They're easier read at a desk.
@@svenrolic thanks for the reply
Beautiful collection!
I think I love the dogs more than the books 😍❤️
Me too, if I'm being honest
Love your video but the dogs are very distracting. Look forward to your next video!
Waiting for a haul from Folio Society...excited
That video is already up 😊
@@svenrolic ha I mean my haul :)
@@FIT2BREAD ohhh. What did you order?
@@svenrolic 2 copies of Dune and Left Hand of Darkness
I feel like I got one other, but can't remember what it was now
Feed doggie!!
I always smell my new books 😣
Great job presenting your book collection. Really enjoyed your video. Check out my collection at Easton press and FS leather library. Keep reading and keep collecting.
What the heck is all that background racket? It kind of took me out of the video. Maybe put the dog into another room? Nice books though. Thanks.
no
@@svenrolic Funny. OK, I'll admit it. Ever since I was bitten quite badly by a dog when I was young, I just don't like dogs and I'm afraid of them. I'm sure your dog is well-trained though. Pax.
Get some rest, make a cup of coffee, walk the dog and keep it out and, for goodness sake, never ever drop the books.
Keep what out? I try to rest, doesn't always work out
The dog. In spite of being cynical, I meant well. As a dog owner and books collector--much B&N and FS--I cannot watch people dropping their talked about books to the floor absent mindedly; I find this humiliating and hypocritical. The dog was seeking attention obviously, and his nails scratching the floor is audibly distracting. Otherwise, keep it up.
@LAVIV007 Ah I've addressed this before. The books are books. Their purpose is to hold knowledge. While its nice to have books in good shape, a drop won't bother me. The dogs are part of my life and will remain allowed to enter and exit spaces I'm in as they please. I understand your concern, but we do not share this concern.
Obviously, it is your choice. I do not argue, just pointing out whatever disturbed me while watching the video/s. Sure, we don't have to agree here. Each to his own. Enjoy them both.
step up to folio society pal
I grabbed a few from there. It's in a later video c:
easton press and barnes & noble classics are all trash. easton press limited editions are generally good though. however you will pay an extreme price to get one.
Nah the Easton press books are great
@@Seanph25 easton press just reprint everything, including illustrations, from the Heritage Press and The Limited Editions Club. Nothing original unless you buy an easton press limited edition.
@@xstalkrx I don’t really care, I can get quality books of World literature, that look and feel great, for a sub $80 price point. It’s a win win win.
