NESFA Press is so cool! I am always keeping an eye out for them. Those are some great hardcovers! The vintage paperbacks just look so cool. This Immortal and The Long Tomorrow! Those are cool copies. I have a 1956 SFBC hardcover of The Long Tomorrow. The dust jacket is in rough shape but it is protected by a brodart now and the rest of the book is in great condition. It is one of my favorite finds from the last 6 months. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Long Tomorrow. I had a hardcover copy of Dangerous Visions and I sold it like an idiot🤦♂. I need to read Robert Silverberg. He is one of my blind spots. I'm jealous that you found a copy of Star of the Unborn. What a great haul!
Thanks Joseph, excited for Long Tomorrow, waiting to watch your review till I'm finished. NESFA are so great. I love the copy of This Immortal. Cheers.
I see Stephen R. Donaldson's 'Gap Cycle" books on your shelf - that is my favorite sci-fi series. Fun haul video - I like looking at all the cool covers.
First time viewer here (I think) and good score for nine dollars! I’ve just started getting into book videos and no one ever seems to talk about their shelves. I am especially impressed by your mass market, paperback sized shelves in the background and would love to know more about them. Whatever you are willing to share, of course.
I love these book hauls. Makes me feel better about my book buying habit. Chandler has some good ones. I think I have read Chalker, but I don't remember it much. I guess that is not a great recommendation, really. The Goblin Reservation! One of my two first books by Simak all those years ago. Not the easiest of his to read, but fascinating, once you get sucked in. Space Viking! another old one I read yonks ago. I remember it as being nowhere near as pulp as it sounds - look forward to hearing what you think.
Theres a great series by Chalker, Wellword (not sure if thats the official title) I recall reading and enjoying Well Of Souls and a couple others, not sure if theres a finale , or it just ends.
Lots of great titles. I’m curious about Butler. My first read is likely going to be Kindred and then, depending on how I feel about it, I’ll move on to Dawn.
Love the hauls. Newer to vintage Scfi, and been loving your videos. One question though what resources do you use for all the different publishers and author lists and livery’s. You seem very knowledgeable about all of that. Keep up the great videos!
I'm still learning, but I have learned a lot from watching other booktubers as well as the website isfdb.org, it takes a bit to figure out but once you get used to the site it's great.
I find books in local bookstores and thrift stores, while on vacation as well. Also I use eBay and many other online resources. Thanks for watching, cheers.
Star of the Unborn: Not just find a copy, but a pristine copy.
It's in very good condition, I'm almost positive no one read it. I'll be reading it very carefully or trying to find an ebook copy of it.
Great Haul ❤
I love ( Where late, the sweet birds Sang , very confusing book but very interesting at the same time
I'll make sure I'm in the right mind set for that one then, thanks.

Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy is fantastic.
Great to know, thanks Matt.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on with Leigh Kennedy- a great writer and wonderful human being.
Thanks for the recommendation.
The Day Star looks awesome!
Great haul this month! So many good books. Look forward to your reviews!
Thanks Richard, I'm really liking The Palace of Eternity right now.
@@sfwordsofwonder That’s great! I was excited to see it was your next read. Really looking forward to your take.

I really want to read the Gap Cycle but it might be a while till I get to it. Cheers.
Great haul! Couple of early DAWs there too. Just finished Dawn and thought it was amazing. Highly recommend!
Great to hear you liked Dawn, I'm excited to read the trilogy.
Great video. There was a time in the early 90’s when I bought anything with the Bantam Spectra imprint
Yeah they are one of my favorite publishers from the time too.
Just read Wizard of Earthsea. Very "high fantasy" but very digestible, and Le Guin's prose is excellent.
Another confirmation that I should read Earthsea, thanks.
Cracking haul Ira, nice work. I think you'll love A Time of Changes. Those NESFA editions are very handsome, i covet them!
Do you see many NESFA press books in the UK?
@@sfwordsofwonder you can get them, but shipped from the US. I don't think there is a UK stockist.
Star of the Unborn strikes again! Also, great copies of those Silverberg novels. A Time of Changes and The Book of Skulls are amazing.
I really need to read more Silverberg. I've heard Book of Skulls is very different but great. Thanks.

I did a video on them here: ua-cam.com/video/YjYaY9rGhu4/v-deo.htmlsi=rfnDFIuLY9o9sBxO

Thanks, I'll give Space Viking a shot at some point. I'd like to eventually read everything from Simak.
What a great haul! That's a very nice Cordwainer Smith collection. A Time of Changes and Pandora's Star are two books I really want to read.
Thanks Robin. I might read A Time of Changes in the next few months. I'd be interested to hear what you think as well.
Nice haul, that Beanstalk, Ekland, and Simak . . . they all look great. Pavane is a great book. Congrats on your white whale
Thanks, I'm eager for Pavane.
Lots of great titles. I’m curious about Butler. My first read is likely going to be Kindred and then, depending on how I feel about it, I’ll move on to Dawn.
I've heard that Kindred is great as well. Cheers Bart.
Let us know how Pavane is, I loved Roberts
Will do, I've never read anything by him.

Where do you find your books? I bid on lots, eBay auctions.
