Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. Good luck with the channel.
You are going to love Roadside Picnic. Some nice pickups there!
I'm a little confused as to how I've never read it. I'm really looking forward to it.
@@backawayfromthedonkey oh I have plenty of books that fall into that category!
I think books are worth the money to get classic artwork etc. Not much difference to collecting antiques. I remember Maze of Death being great.
Trying not to sound like a Grumpy old man (which I probably am), I think very few modern covers people will collect for the Artwork. Looking forward to Maze of Death it's great to have a PKD I haven't read
@@backawayfromthedonkey The Pennington Wolfes are the ones I got back in the day and was blown away by.
To me those Pennington covers perfectly represent the feel of those books, which was part of the reason I wanted to own them again.
I’m ready to go on roadside picnic 🫡. That copy of Shadow of the Torturer 😮 how you managed to get one with an unbroken spine!?! I think that 85’ copy of Man in a High Castle might be the best I’ve seen yet 😍.
That version of Shadow is probably in better condition than the version I got rid of in 90s book purge. I've been keeping an eye out for years hoping I could pick up a cheap copy but came to the conclusion that I should just buy one when I saw it, as the prices weren't coming down and it was gettig rarer. Silly money for a PB but oh well. That copy of High Castle I love the cover. It's part of a penguin series of classic books which all seem to have great covers and are not all your normal 'Classic Sf', I'm going to keep an eye out for others in that series. Maybe start Picnic next week? I have a couple of things to finish up this week first.
@@backawayfromthedonkey nice 👍. I’ll probably start it before you. I’m getting too excited!
