Congrats Jules - for those of us out there who are collectors, with the collectors' mentality (who understand your patience, persistence + perseverance), we share your joy - on to the next 1,000!

Congrats on completing the 1k. My copy of Day of the Triffids is from the 1970's. Money was always tight so never really got a proper collection. I tried to get the New Wessex paperback editions of Thomas Hardy when they were issued by Macmillan but I may have missed a few.

Great stuff, I think my first Triffids was the BBC tie in.

Funny you mention the book shop in Plymouth. I have also been to that bookshop and had a similar experience as the chap was selling paperbacks 3 for £5 (same price 20 years later!) and I bought an entire bag of SF vintage paperbacks and went back the next day again for another bag full.

@JulesBurt Ай бұрын

He was 3 for £5 when he opened and has recently gone back to that price point. At last🙂

As usual, another very interesting and informative video, Jules. Thanks for sharing your first 1000 Penguin odyssey with us, and once again, congrats! BTW - any thoughts about making a video discussing the "Travel and Adventure" cerise and white Penguins? Along with the beloved Green Crime and Detective Fiction Penguins, those pink ones always catch my eye and interest. Just a thought.

@codex3048 Ай бұрын

It takes at least 39 years to fully establish for yourself what a "rare" book actually is. 99% of books described as such are not rare, but you don't know that until you initiate your journey. That "Death on the Borough Council" is genuinely rare can now be verified. All the more surprising since it was a "mass market" paperback, not some limited edition. WWII was a rough time for books.

@JulesBurt Ай бұрын

A good point. I'm not sure how many other collectors are missing this one but I'm guessing quite a few.

@codex3048 Ай бұрын

When did they stop putting dust wrappers on their books?

@JulesBurt Ай бұрын

As soon as paper rationing kicked in during the second world war. So about 1941. Things got tough in the UK, the paper got much poorer quality as well.

@codex3048 Ай бұрын

When you repair the spines, doesn't that diminish the value? I thought collectors were very much against repairs of any kind.

@JulesBurt Ай бұрын

Not at all but it's very much a personal choice.

@KRPTV Ай бұрын

Just wondering actually, do you own any of the other Penguin imprints? I know you've covered most of the Pelicans and Puffins but I think at one stage there were Peacock, Peregrine and even Ptarmigan books too, just wondered if you owned any of those?

@JulesBurt Ай бұрын

Yes, I have all the Ptarmigans and some Peacock and Peregrine's, but not many.
