Yay! 🎉 I’ve been checking in almost every day to see if this video was up! Thanks so much for this amazing list. Definitely a highlight of the holiday season
Thank you so much for bringing these delightful editions to us each year! I’ve been collecting my “retirement library”, which includes quite a few classics and I’ve taken to getting a couple of the children’s books you show to get a quick overview of works by Shakespeare, Dickens, etc., so I can see which ones I want to read first. Plus, the wonderful illustrations make me feel young again. Thanks again! Oh, I’m also getting the Monet pop up book, as I think it’s intriguing to have his brush strokes on the pop ups. I wasn’t so taken by the surrealist pop up book, however, as I think their art is detracted from by the pop ups, perhaps because it feels like an imposition on their expression.
I absolutely love your gift guide videos. My list, which is already long, gets much bigger. Congratulations on the incredible curation and thanks for the video.
Always my favorite UA-cam video of the year. Thank you! I have the children's Shakespeare and Moonstone and am very happy with them. I was hoping Union Square and Co. would have another Deluxe Illustrated Classic this year. The three I have are among my favorites.
Ah, thank you 💕 I love those deluxe illustrated classic too, especially how each one is designed especially for the book rather than all the same. Union Square just got sold to Hachette recently, so I really hope they keep going with the series.
I really like how publishers are getting creative with ways to entice newer generations to take up reading! I'm a dedicated reader, but I really appreciate the "extras" that are included in some of the classic tales, like beautiful covers, pull-out letters, etc.
Very nice video and commentary. Wonderful books. Thank you for sharing your picks. I find children’s books very comforting. And lovely to gift to others. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover!
I don't know who you are lady, but I have a family member who collects beautiful book and year after year it's been a nightmare coming up with gifts that would meet their expectations. You've averted that nightmare for years to come, on top of giving me an air of mystery on how I'm discovering these books. Know that, at this very moment, I love you.
HWow it's that time of the year. Merry Christmas. How do you know which are these types of books in the market because there are so many books launch in a week. How do you Research or are you secretly a book seller.😇
Haha, no, not a bookseller (dream job!). I just find the research fun, and I've been collecting for so long now I have a lots of background knowledge 💕
The UK cover of Gaiman's book is so much better than the US version (as is the case with almost all books. - and most things in life generally, come to think of it)
I hope you enjoyed it! You can get the Waterstone Exclusive Turtle Moon which is also signed here: tidd.ly/3xcLSNa (I think it's out of stock online at the moment, but you can sign up for a notification when they get more stock, or I've also found if you contact their customer service they will sometimes send you a copy from one of the physical stores).
Such a treat to see a new video from you! I have a question regarding the Chiltern Classics editions, I ordered 2 books in these editions and for both the spine wasn't glued to the book, I imagine this is because the books are quite heavy. Could you let me know if this is how the books are made or are my editions just faulty?
Thank you! And yes, your Chiltern classics are supposed to be like that. They are attached to a flexible internal cloth spine, as it helps them open flat when you’re reading without cracking the external spine that you see on the shelf 😀
i wait for this whole year, it's that time of the year.
Thank you 💕
Me too. It's part of the holiday tradition now.
@@tcdrx thank you too! 💕
Ah! The yearly video I watch with the Amazon app open and my wish list becomes suddenly enlarged! Thank you for your service every year!

Wish you would do a tour of your shelves and/or a video of your personal favourites that you have collected over the years. Happy holidays
I get distracting just *walking* past my own shelves, the video would last a whole day 😂
@@BeautifulBooksthat would be ok 😂
Gosh, I wish adult books were as beautiful as the children's books!
I know! All books should be illustrated in my opinion! 😃❤️
I look forward to this every year! I'm glad you still do these. I've added quite a few books to my own collection from your videos.
Thank you! I'm so glad you've found some treasures! 💕

That sounds like a wonderful idea. And I agree, I preferred the pop-up interpretation of Monet as well 💕

I wait the whole year for this video!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Where can I get Turtle Moon in an edition like yours?
I hope you enjoyed it!

Have just discovered your amazing channel...and found gifts for nearly everyone on my Christmas list!! But will I be able to part with them??
Haha, I always face that problem too! 😂

Did something happen in the chiltern classics section? You seemed to get cut off mid word about The Wizard of Oz.
Dang, I didn't notice that when editing. I was going to show an internal image of the Wizard of Oz so you could see the pictures. Sorry about that.
A "Neverending Story" edition that has the text in just one color?
No thanks.
The editions with two color text are the best - I first read it in red and green.
Your videos are my Christmas treats! I always look forward for them every year Now, I’m going to have a longer list to gift myself.
Aw, thank you! I hope you find some treasures! 💕
