I couldn't believe what good condition they were in, what a fabulous collection. Thanks for sharing the unboxing.
Amazing. What a great haul Shawn. Happy reading.
That was an amazing haul! I was impressed by seeing the condition of so many good vintage titles. And your reaction was delightful!
this was a great box of vintage science fiction haul!😊, and very good condición!, You Will hace many hours of great trading to enjoy!
I love how people like sending you things - everybody wants to contribute to the towering piles of books in every video!
@@ShawnDStandfast Hah! Wonderful! And what you say in this video is entirely right: You simply MUST now create a definitive Author Study series and deal with each of these great old (& largely forgotten) sf authors - their biographies, their print histories, showcasing all these vintage paperbacks, the final word on each author. Imagine the invaluable resources those videos would be!
What a lovely surprise, Shawn. Your pleasure was evident. So many old SF books in nice condition, great.
@@ShawnDStandfast I know a bloke with the same name as you, he can't get enough Simak, oh, it is you. Lol. It was a great video, you looked so excited by everything. I think the person who sent them will be very pleased.
Wow, Christmas came in June for you this year. Epic haul.
That is great SF book haul!
Thank you,Shawn!
awesome pile of books. I do free book clearances and never strike it lucky.
Excellent haul! Its so ironic that you had that little SFBC insert fall out of a book. I literally just bought a used book the other day and a similar one fell out, same layout but different books on offer. Until then I'd never seen one of them. They're pretty neat to look through. Mine is now my bookmark lol.
You can count the number of SF I have read on one hand but your enthusiasm opening that books and revealing his contents has made me somewhat curious, after my experience with June on the Range I might be tempted to start some SF.
This is a fantastic book haul!!!! Thanks so much too for giving me a mention. You also mentioned the Audible August challenge too which was lovely of you. I’m planning on reading 3 Simak books in the next couple of weeks. I’ll post about what I think of them. I’ve read very little Van Vogt- just a few short stories, I’ve always been aware of him though…..
@@ShawnDStandfast will do and absolutely no worries about the name - there’s so many people putting content on UA-cam there’s no reason why you’d get my channel name exactly right and it was pretty accurate!
Great haul! Nice to see paperbacks of that age looking so good - usually I find them in really beat-up condition. I bought a small lot of A.E. van Vogt paperbacks recently, and so far I've read The World of Null-A, Rogue Ship, and The Silkie. In many ways his writing is bad, with all sorts of inconsistencies and sudden lurches in the stories, but he keeps the books barreling along and makes them enjoyable despite the flaws.
correcting, great trading to enjoy
Do you ever watch Stephen Andrews' channel, The Outlaw Bookseller? I bet you'd love all his vintage sf videos
Outlaw Bookseller is great! I think I saw you mention somewhere that you'd like to interview or have a chat with Stephen Andrews. I hope that happens at some point!
@@ShawnDStandfast Will do!
Congrats on what looks to be an amazing book haul. I saw that copy of Transgalactic by A E van Vogt and had to have a copy, so I went on ebay and have one on its way shortly. I also want that copy of The Civilization Game: And Other Stories!
Now I'm curious: I read Slan way back in my early teens and re-read it a couple of years ago and didn't care for it much. I'm wondering if that was an abridged edition.
I am currently midway on a re-read of Simak novels, now I'm getting an urge to do one for A. E. van Vogt! LOL damn good thing I'm retired.
@@ShawnDStandfast Yes, I looked it up. They are the original stories. I ordered a copy.
