The Sweet Science - one of the greatest American books ever. It just happens to be about boxing.

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

Another great showcase, thanks!

A great volume to drop into and out of, thanks for sharing!

I’d recommend a couple of books by Ivo Andric. He was an ethnic Croat from Bosnia who received a Nobel prize in literature in 1961 I believe. His The Bridge on the Drina is a wonderful read. All the best.

I hope i can get the book with a beautiful bindings like the one you have there 😉

130?!! 😳 I own two Folio Society books and hope to one day have three. I own the 2001 edition of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" which I have taken everywhere with me, including the beach and the lunch room at work. I've had it for eighteen years, and it's held up fantastically. The other Folio Society book I own just arrived in the mail yesterday, which is "The Neverending Story." Any edition from any publisher is hard to find, so I just wound up buying a new copy from Folio. I also plan on eventually buying "The Road" from Folio. Like '84, "The Road" is one of my top five favorite novels. As for Moby Dk, my copy is from Easton Press. I'm currently on chapter 65, The Whale as a Dish. I've scuffed it a bit over the years, but it still looks beautiful. My copy of Moby Dk may not be as nice as yours, or as illustrated for sure, but I wouldn't trade it for any other edition because it was a Christmas gift.

Came across Dana (and this video!) by delving into the Harvard Classics. I’ve honestly never heard of him before, and I teach liberal arts at the college level. Interesting how some authors were deemed essential just a few generations ago, and now are relatively obscure.

Love the Beowulf

Cool.. my friend read these in Germany in German.. he is from Uk like me!

Hello.. I typed on RUclips search I didn't like the decameron book to see if I can find others who shared my view of this book and your video poped up first on my search So you are annoyed by the fact the translators skipped a tale from the third but how did they manage the seventh day as it's all about deceiving graphic sex stories ?

You might be able to find some of these books in a thrift store

Hope it has hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Don Quixoter

Thin paper? Is it worth it?

Cheer~~~representation or imitation of the real world in art and literature.😊

Hey @librarybooks we were wondering if you would be interested in reading the world atlas we wrote? (If not yeah I get it, I might not respond to a random comment in my comment section either ) Our atlas is called "The World A Comprehensive Guide to Geopolitics" It has breakdowns for over 1,400 geographic regions covered. Every continent, every UN member, every partially recognized nation (Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine etc.), every autonomous region, every external territory. We even included breakdowns for every known base camp in Antarctica, by both summer and winter populations. It has over 440 colorized maps. And over 490 colorized flags. And we even included a geography section full of facts such as the largest rivers, lakes, deserts, the lowest elevations, highest altitudes, longest mountain ranges, most northerly and southerly nations just to name a few. It took us almost 2 years to make. I'm proud of it. We finally published on June 12, 2024. Almost 2 and a half months ago.

Just found this review of "The Annals of America." I saw the series for sale on eBay and have been trying to track down book series published by the Encyclopedia Britannica but didn't find much about them online. Thank you for showing these books and providing an overview; it has convinced me that I need to add this series to my collection.

May I ask if you have this app on your computer? I have a macbook pro.

It looks like it might be a xerox of the original book, do you think?

Station Eleven is such a great story; wonderful prose, hauntingly beautiful: "because survival is insufficient". Excellent example of non-linear storytelling.

Do you still possess?

I wtb

This is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be finding a copy of this very soon.

It’s a great LOA edition - I really like this longer-form showcase, thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to read these three novels & writings

So these books do not have the whole story in them?

Sir. What is the lecture series you came across?

thankyou thankyou so much ❤

"Milk feels pain" is downright diabolical. Great video!

Wow, that's and amazing edition.

I'll have to check out some of these. Haven't heard of them before!

I have the book

I recently began reading the first book in the series and I'm really enjoying it. The second book is somewhat difficult to find at a reasonable price, but I intend to purchase it as well.

it was 1974, it got a LOT of attention/review at the time. I think PBS did a feature on it also. Studs was a regular guest on all the serious/political chat shows.

Why is there 3 different cover for Understanding Comics books, is there any difference? Which one is the best?

This is a beautiful edition!!

I always remember a phrase from Dr HK book 'On the meaning of history' when he said that the problem with Germany (from Bismarck onwards) was that it committed itself to being "a permanent tour de force." This brilliant phrase has never been bettered (imho) as the ultimate description of what happened to Europe in the 20th century. Thank you for your presentation.

amazing story . referenced by sir antony beevor many times in his "battle for crete". a significant book documenting amazing deeds.

Not sure why, but it reminds me of my copy of opium eater

Impressive library, sir. I have tried a few apps, and this is one of the only apps that auto-populates the genre. Appreciate your ideas here, especially thinking about your bookshelves as cells in an Excel sheet. I can't wait to organize in all the ways!

I watched an interview with the author some years ago and I remember him saying that his intention was to make the reader feel like a child. When you’re a child pre alphabetisation, and you open an encyclopaedia, you don’t understand anything: you can’t read! You’re just in awe with the illustrations. I think it’s a great concept. To fill grown ups with a sense of wonder again.
