I cannot for the life of me understand how they produce such premium books at such an affordable price.

The books are so pretty. I have never really read books before other than school, but I am considering buying some books for Christmas!

These Canterbury Classics books are gorgeous, well made..and so affordable. The brand keeping them some insanely affordable genuinely gives me a brand loyalty that makes me want to (and makes it accessible) to collect as many as I can.

Nice books . I have some of those in my collection . I do not really read hard copies (unless books contain visual information such as charts …) , mostly audio books , but I do buy hard copies of books I like after listening them on audible . I have over 130 audio books in my collection and around 70 hard copies ( not all of them hard copies of my audio books ) . I stoped watching TV few years ago and switched to books and I have to tell you - my perception of reality improved along with the quality of my life .

What a beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing!

Be warned if you get those thick books like the Charles Dickens she pulled with the 5 novels, the sheer amount of pages can put pressure on the binding and make the pages sag when stood upright. It doesn't really affect the use of the book but it does put extra wear and tear on it if your trying to keep your books in the best condition possible. Advice I've seen is to roll up some toilet paper and put under the pages when you put the book back on the shelf.

LOVE and want them all!! Smart of you to start collecting these.

I just bookmarked your video as it's an excellent go through of these amazing editions. Thanks for the inspiration and we will start collecting them as well :)

Yeah I'm just getting back into reading again. I haven't read since high school. Thanks for the book showcase. @SparklesBooks, You're elegantly gorgeous!

Just the video I was looking for. I spent an hour or 2 on the local Barnes and noble just admiring these hardcover annexes in the store.

These books are beautiful! I can't wait to have enough bookshelves to get some beautiful books to adorn them.

Absolutely gorgeous collection of classics. I own a few of the Canterbury but the Barnes & Noble are also beautiful.

They are all so lovely! Thanks for sharing 😊📚

I'm a bibliophile but I can't afford to have such expensive books🥺. However, I'm still jubilant to see those ravishing books in this video.

You've just given me ideas for Christmas 😊😊

I loooove your collection so much! I keep seeing these in TKMaxx but never commit to one because I know once I start, I won’t be able to stop! Faves- The F. Scott Fitzgerald, aaaall the pink ones and the children’s ones! 😍

SO GORGEOOOOUUUS!! 😍💖

These are so. Damn. Beautiful 😍😍😍 I need them all! But I don’t have the room lol

Absolutely beautiful 😻

Great collection! I have some Barnes & Noble ones and a Canterbury Classic (a Robert Louis Stevenson collection). There are so many beautiful ones in both editions.

Thank you for sharing. The books are so beautiful and inviting to read. I'm just about to complete my penguin cloth bound classics.

Very very nice! 💙 Perfekt choice of representation. As they are classics most of the books I have already read and don't need the plot blurb.

Beautiful collection😍❤

Am i gonna buy any of them?? You have just given me a new obsession!! 😁

Such lovely books 😍 I would love to get a few of these but especially the women writers one and maybe the Irish lit

These books are absolutely stunning. I hope to start collecting them but I'm happy with the cheaper paperback editions of classics I have currently. I do have a few books I bought second hand for the Folio Society and they are very bulky.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes is beautiful 🤩 I need to add it to my collection 👍

I am really really jealous of your collection love it love from Australia please stay safe xxx

Impressive collection.

They are so lovely! I had four of them but sold two because they are a pain to pack when moving. 😂

Lovely collection I have a lot of those books as well

Very pretty books. I have only one Barnes and Noble book - The Count of Monte Cristo, which is very pretty, but also a great story.

The HG wells book looks really cool

I hope the Canterbury Classics expands their offerings. I really prefer their binding/printing quality over the B&N versions. I have a lovecraft collection from each, and I VASTLY prefer the CC version.

wow. i enjoy classics.

Anyone know the font size on the Bronte Sisters? Hoping it’s at least 12 point with decent line spacing. (I have HG Wells but wish the font were bigger like it is the the Jurassic Park book.)

Hi, what's the content on the book of Irish literature? Thanks, your collection is awesome. 💙

These books are so beautiful. I would like to own some of them some day. I'm from Uzbekistan and we know russian very well here. Stress in the world "karEnina"should be on the second syllable. Your bookshelf is awesome!!!

the summer the jurassic park book came out I was thinking why don't they put the two books together in one volume? n they did, lol i also had to hunt down orient express on ebay, for some reason many of the latest barnes n noble books are not sold in my country, can't find death on the nile..

I would love to have that many bookshelves/room for shelves! I also have Canterbury Classics and Barnes and Nobles, so I’m curious: do you find the Canterbury classics to not seem as well built? I just had to return a book due to the spine being ripped

Thanks! So hard to find videos not in USA that we can’t get in uk

4:24-4:25 Correction: It’s art nouveau. Art Deco is 6:44-7:24.

where do you get your books from? i wish barnes and noble delivered to the uk as the leatherbound books are stunning and you can only get a few of them on amazon :( your collection is amazing!!!

Thank you for this video! I have several of the B&N but no Canterbury Classics yet. I'm curious if you have an opinion as to the quality of these? Is one collection more durable than the other? I ask because I've read some reviews of the covers separating from the spine with some of the CC's. I read my books (not just for decoration) and I want to pass them down to my kids so I want to make sure they will last. Thank you!!

Barnes and Noble has two more Agatha Christie books with the same design scheme as the Orient Express one. And Then There Were None which is burgundy and Death on the Nile which is a goldfish color. Im hoping they make more Christie volumes.

If you have gotten a chance to read the Jurassic Park Collectible Edition, I was wondering if the red ink from the cover and back bled onto the pages, as while looking on reviews for that specific book this was a major problem. I think it might only be an issue if the reader tends to have sweaty palms after reading for an extended period of time, but I just wanted to make sure that it was okay to read without ruining the pages inside it. Lovely collection btw!

Are these glued or sewn? I recently bought the complete stories of S. Holmes (by Canterbury ed) and the last page has already started disattaching from the spine which is beyond frustrating. What’s everyone’s experience on these matters? Thanks!

Hi... Love Love Love your collection... 💞💖 Can you please let me know if the little women contains part 1 & 2 of the little women novel along with other novels Or just the first part of little women?

My Son has started collecting these books. Where did you buy the Anna Karenina? Have you tried ordering from US? If so which website? Thanks

I told myself I would never buy physical books again so that I could save some money.... and then, I saw your video. So now, I've just bought myself a flexibound version of The Count of Monte Cristo. LOL. Impressive collection, by the way! I wish to have the same collection as yours. I just hope these book versions were available here in the Philippines.

On the website, it only says paperback. That’s still the leather bound book though, right?

What the heck? She has never read a Sherlock Holmes story? I've read all the 56 short stories and 4 novels. 5 of them I loved the most. 1. A Scandal in Bohemia 2. The Speckled Band 3. The Crooked Man 4. The Solitary Cyclist 5. The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Books made by MINALIMA are as pleasing looking as are the books in the video .

I have a few of these. The quality is nice for the price, but to be honest they do look a bit tacky. Some more than others. I can appreciate how a beautiful book can push people to pick it up more often. But I do feel they are going a bit overboard with the flashiness. To each his own I guess. One thing I also do not like is the omnibus versions. It makes sense to save money, but I find the books unnecessarily difficult to read unless you are sitting on a desk, which happens rarely.

Your copy of dracula is a misprint. The cover is supposed to also have red a lot of red in fact. I've seen some people on the Amazon reviews get copies like yours

"Gold sprayed edges"...... lol. A little help. It's called 'gilded'

5:55 and 11:46 i have this cutes

Your version of Dracula has a factory error!.. it's missing the red color/ink on the cover. I have a whole bunch of these, love them. They read fantastic, I love the feel of a heavy leather bound. But they often do come with minor spelling errors. Complete editions are never actually complete in my experience. Foundation trilogy by Azimov straightup misses some pages. They take a version of a book with no copyright, then don't bother to have anyone proofread or check for grammar/text etc. Both CC and BnN do this. I also wish they would step over to faux leather instead of bonded leather. Bonded and faux feels the same, they can both feel almost identical to actual leather. The only "benefit" (if you can call it that) bonded leather has is that it contains some actual leather ... so that gives them the ability to claim it's "leather". But bonded leather is also a horribly fragile material that will scuff by just taking it of the shelves or looking at it the wrong way lol. So it makes no sense to use it for covers other than to claim it's leather. I would prefer faux leather which at least is super durable and will not scuff as easily, will keep your book in mint condition for longer and protect the book / pages better. I also really wish they stop doing those carboard images they stick on the front of books. What is the point of a "leather cover" if you're just gonna plaster cardboard on top. Maybe use some leather feeling, durable mat coating on top so the gilding etc doesn't damage (I noticed with some it is very durable, with others like my cthulu collection you can wipe of the gilding and color of the leather with a slight touch)

You only forgot to show the insides of the books, the size of letters and spaces between the lines...

You should think about reading Quran and Bible, both of them.

Beautiful books I'm building a collection myself.
