- Vintage Paperback Book Repair - Restoring Corgi Crime Classics - Unintentional ASMR!
In this video I clean, repair and generally make good a small collection of late 1950's, early 1960's classic Corgi vintage paperbacks. I brush the top edges with a soft toothbrush, sort out any creases and turned over corners inside, remove the odd sticker, re-glue any damaged spines and finally polish the covers. The end result looks pretty decent! Featured is a very nice 1st edition of Mickey Spillane's I, The Jury.
Hope you enjoy the process! If you enjoy this video for the ASMR qualities, that's just a bonus.

"Even if it gives the book one more reading." Thats awesome how you give books just even a little more life!! Good stuff Mr. JULES!👍🏻💪
Thanks Danny! Getting my next batch of repairs together this morning. I've a tough little Moonraker to bring back to good order🙂👍
Your voice is so relaxing
Thanks, a few people have said that!👍
The way you bring beat up old books back to life is amazing, Jules!
Thanks Bob, it's a surprisingly relaxing, yet totally satisfying process!
This is high quality ASMR...
Excellent stuff Sabrina, thanks.🙂
Ahh the Forbidden planet....that was the book repair that started my journey with you Jules😉🙂 never looked back since👌👍
Thanks Matt, definitely going to be doing more of these 'repair specific' videos rather than just my regular pickups. Hope you're finding them useful🙂
@@JulesBurt as I said before, I find them interesting and very therapeutic. In times like these I find your videos help me to relax when the world seems to be going mad, keep up your good work.
Thanks Matt, I certainly intend to keep making them🙂 Really glad it's helping out buddy👍
Very inspiring! I have started to take better care of my old paperbacks and follows your cleaning process when i buy used books...Thank you for all the hints and tips!!
My pleasure 👍
Another great video Jules. You know I've been getting a few books through Ebay and get a few nice ones but getting a bunch of subpare books too.
You know how it is. Like a crap shoot.
At least with me. So I've about decided to just go through Abebooks and Biblio to get most of the books I really want.
I know I'll be paying more over all but I'll be getting much better books in the end. I've decided to get the 18 book run of Avon Fantasy Reader. from 1947 to 1952 . There digest books but pretty nice. At least I think so. I want a bunch of Weird Tales but in good shape ?
Not unless I start robbing banks.
Thanks for putting up with my rambling. Don't have anyone in my personal life that I can talk about my love of old, and new , books.
Take care good Sir.
Hi Alvin, I use Abe books myself, usually the books are better quality as the sellers are more experienced book dealers. The Avon Fantasy Readers are fantastic, definitely s great series to collect. Let me know how you get on.
I finished “a cry in the night” earlier this week following a paperback warrior recommendation - it is definitely worth adding to your TBR pile
Nice, thanks Oli. My TBR pile is a little high though!🙂
Best channel on youtube
Thanks Tamas🙂
This was so interesting to watch I never knew you could do that
Thanks Nell, just takes a bit of patience 🙂👍
Manhunt was where I discovered Spillane too. I, The Jury is an innovative good mystery, but I think he wrote better Mike Hammer novels. I've read all of them and believe The Girl Hunters is one of his very best because it truly demonstrates Spillane's maxim: "Nobody reads a book to get to the middle. Your first sentence sells the book. Your last sentence sells your next one." Spillane told Johnny Carson one night about his third Mike Hammer novel: "I bet old man Dutton (his publisher) a thousand bucks I could write an entire novel and leave out the last word and the whole story wouldn't make sense. Dutton said no way, took the bet and I mailed the Vengeance Is Mine manuscript to him. A few nights later my phone rings at three in the morning, it's Dutton and he's hollering what's the last word. And I holler back where's my thousand bucks."
Wow, what a great story! I wonder if that interview is tucked away on UA-cam somewhere? Thanks for sharing my friend 🙂
@@JulesBurt Only a year ago on yootoob I watched the entire 1963 Girl Hunters movie starring Spillane as Hammer and Shirley Eaton (fresh from her gold paint role in Goldfinger) as the Blonde. I looked again for it just now and could only find clips of the movie but the full-length Kiss Me Deadly is still there; also found some Spillane interviews but none on the Tonight Show. But another time I saw Spillane on Carson doing publicity for The Erection Set. If the title wasn't enough Spillane's wife also appears nude on the cover. Trying to draw audience attention away from that Carson asked innocently, "Does your wife write too?" Spillane fired back, "Checks!"
Jules I have no idea where to look for vintage books apart from the usual places online. I know you want to give your sources but just a clue ? :) thanks Jules
Most of mine are sourced online, but I use various sites, including eBay and Abe books. Also, from the bookshops of course🙂
When I read those old books all the pages start falling out individually 😩
Sounds like the books need re-gluing 😟
@@JulesBurt A lot of re-gluing.
Sadly, yes!🙂
Enjoy the show. I, The Jury was published in 1947 or 48 by Collins White Circle paperbacks in Canada. The Corgi PB was publshed, as you said in 1952.
Great information, thanks David! That's one Canadian White Circle I'd love to get my hands on👍
Thank for the vid.Yes i do use some of the hints...i use the white glue stick.The Mr Sheen looks like a hint i could use .Do you ever get any paper back with brittle covers? Seriously the covers are like wafers and break apart..i use a glue stick and note paper to repair .It seems to happen with the newer covers..🙄.you are in for a great read with Spillane🤗👍.A couple of my old finds were to far gone to repair...it was not easy dumping...one was an early Bradbury.. 🙄🙄 No it was not 'Dark Carnival' 😏
Thanks Sylvan, Mr Sheen is the best that I've ever used but any furniture polish is probably fine, in moderation. Covers on paperbacks get damaged easily, some can be repaired, some not. That Bradbury sounds like a heartbreaker 🙂
I've been using Pledge clean it multisurface cleaner as you can't seem to find Mr Sheen in America. Or the Pritt glue sticks. I got Avery from Amazon and the cap was split so the glue was so dryed up it is about useless. Sometimes I truly hate Amazon. Books, CD's, DVD's , all of those I've received from them damaged. P.O. big time.
@@alvinmarcus5780 Pledge as a sub for the Mr Sheen.Thank you for the info
@@sylvanyoung I just use a little on a rag. For surface dirt those swifter sheets work pretty good. Surprised me really.
@@alvinmarcus5780 👍👌
I was screaming internally when I saw the screwdriver and gluestick were used😬
Nothing to worry about, a delicate operation 🙂👍
Those annoying stickers that the booksellers place on the paperbacks, how do you get them off without damaging the book?
Lots of methods Rick, it depends on the age of the book, the sticker and how bad it is. I do tackle many of these on my other channel. youtube.com/@asmrjules
@@JulesBurt Thank you. I have subscribed and begun to watch them all.
Thanks Rick, take a look at my other channel as well, dedicated to book cleaning and repair 👍. youtube.com/@asmrjules
If they're 'absorbent' stickers then lighter fluid will soak in and kill the adhesive. If they're shiny, you might have to get a corner up and use lighter fluid teasing it off bit by bit.
Good point.👍
You threw that book away? That was presumptuous of you. You may not want to repair it but someone else might.
Sometimes they are just too far gone, even to donate to charity shops, sadly.
