Im always here for the long haul Adam! I really enjoy your style and delivery of rare book information and passions! Also i think some Merch like a tee, hat or maybe a bookmark or book carrier / bag that says "as much as i love judge Judy im even more interested in Judge Jesus" lol

I buy mid-century modern furniture at online auctions and most of the furniture I want goes for more than I could resell it, and I couldn't imagine that much stuff being bid on by individuals for their own use. Prices are getting astronomical. Personal experience will tell you what good investments are because what sells for one might not sell for another, so knowing your personal market is super important.

Great video! Stayed until the end and learned a great deal about what goes into your buying process! Love it!

I enjoyed your entire presentation, thank you for all the detail.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge❤

Excellent! Living vicariously through you! 😊

I am so glad you listened to the pawn stars youtube section comments and decided to start your own channel.Keep up the good work

Excellent referral to the Isle of Man book. I've been dealing sometimes books for 23 years, and my favorite discovery is "The Bible Looking Glass" by Barber (around 1850 and its not that rare). It's a collection of about 100 illustrated spiritual themes, well done line drawings, a bit like a later version of an emblem book. He also did the rarer "A Handbook of Illustrated Proverbs" which has similar drawings but also thousands of wise sayings and proverbs, many which are "rarely" spoken of today, unfortunately.

Loved the entire video!

Pretty interesting to see the behind the scenes of the different processes you go through. I've always wanted to see how you get so many different old books

Fantastic insight! I’ve often wondered what you pay for some of your works. I’m a cheapskate so I rarely come across the good stuff. It’s nice to hear your rationale for purchasing these works, but I’m curious how you can find meat on the bone when you’re competing with the general public and paying “retail” prices.

Seeing you thumb nail pop up made my day!! Thank you so much for all your great videos and happy new year! 😊

A lot of book enthusiast are waiting to find your channel, You should leave a comment in all you appearances on Pawn Stars videos to get even more subs. You are awesome ! Keep it up ! Saludos desde México.

Really great video. I love the little snippets in between like The Jetsons. I recently just started cataloging at Between The Covers in nj and I love it so much. It's really the most fun I've had at a job and the humans that work there are amazing. So your videos are helpful in my education to try and catch up and make myself useful somehow. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Maybe one day I'll learn enough to be able to pass it on.

Very cool Adam, that Founding Father autograph will only go up in value methinks

Dude thanks for just sitting down and giving us all these insights. In a day when apprenticeships are a thing of the past, this kind of thing is invaluable. Also, thank you for the lack of politics. We need more history and expertise and less polarization these days.

I love your videos, keep them going!

I pray you had a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. My KZfaq friend.

Terrific Books , awesome video 🙌👏

Sweet. ... Miss you at Pawn* Loved how you walked out all the time the WINNER*

You should do a video showcasing your collection, or a video of the most rare or valuable books that have came into your possession

Thank you Adam! Very helpful and intriguing video as always! Do you have any plan to do a video on how to mark it up/price a book that you purchased? i.e. what’s the normal range of profit by percentage? By the way, is there a link for the peep show item that one can explore further? Thanks again!

In the ESTC, I've looked up my copy of- The Lounger. A periodical paper, published at Edinburgh in the years 1785, 1786 and 1787. By the authors of the Mirror. In two volumes. Volume 1. Printed for Samual Campbell at Old Slip NY 1789 (in Ronan numerals). It shows what looks like four identical entries for the American Antiquarian Society. Question: Might these be duplicate entries? If so, my copy is only five, and not nine, held institutionally. And that's beyond cool. Thanks for your instruction.

Nice !

Adam, I believe the peep show book is called a tunnel book.

I’m curious. We’re these online auctions or in person? Thank you for another fascinating video. A great new year’s gift. Will share with the Book Club of Detroit.

Thank you for your help and insight, I was wondering if auctions are the only place that you go to or do you also know other private collectors that you can possibly buy from?

I have 300 years old book about horses,I want to sell it in auction, plz guide me

Very nice video. I have a couple of questions for you: is there a big database that give you an idea about the price of each book? How do you know that a book is worth it 2000$ instead of 1000$. My University has a lot of old books and sometimes they just trash them to make space for new books. So maybe I can get some of them. I don’t want that these kind of book are going lost. How can I get the price for these books? Thank you. I follow you from Australia

I have only just found your Channel. How do you gauge condition against scarcity and do you restore a book or leave that up to the potential buyer. I'm based in England 😁

You have experience & customers. I'd tweak your method somewhat, to concentrate more on items that you already have expertise in. Become a master in a few fields, old clients would become regular clients, & you'd be sharing a close interest with these clients. The enjoyment would increase more, also. Still potshot at the intriguing (across the board), but snipe hard at the special in those few fields. ✌😄

3:06 👍

#subscribed Not book related: I’ve become a sincere fan of yours and Rebecca from Pawn Stars. I’d like to believe you all are friends in real life. Is it true? :-) Book related:: Do you ever come across original Christian Apologetic books or manuscripts?
