Hi Jules, have you ever used un-du to remove stickers and sticky residue? It is an absolutely amazing product. It works incredibly well to remove really difficult stickers etc, without causing any damage to the book surface. I have used it for years and I've never damaged a cover. Really worth having a bottle in your cleaning kit.
@@JulesBurt i have more than 430 copies in my gamebook paperback collection... those in the 90s and some late 80s. Bloodsword is the collection i am most proud, followed by my Fighting Fantasy. In fact, i have 4 sets of Dragon Banner. I just need FF58 Revenge of the Vampire and a few titles to complete my 5th set (it will be a hybrid of all available covers)
Jules, great video as always, I love and collect early Four Square, but do you know why so many of them have warped or bowed spines? Could it be a binding defect? The ones without that problem are truly lovely copies. What do you think?
Hi Gary, yes, the printing is a bit suspect on early 4 Square books. I've upgraded quite a few recently, they are indeed very nice when in great shape 🙂👍
Your collection and your cleaning and repair techniques are truly amazing, Jules!
Thanks Bob, some epic repair videos filmed this week! Look out for them soon🙂

Thanks. I've not tried it but think I'm going to order some. On Amazon?
@@JulesBurt I'm in Australia and I get mine from our large hardware chain, but I'm sure Amazon would sell it. I'm sure you'll love using it.
How many paperback books are tgere in your collection? Also, do u buy the same title with different coverart?
I think about 10k, maybe more? Yes, I have some titles with multiple different editions and covers.

Wait.... 479 is the actual count. Most titles, i have duplicates or triplicates
Nice!

Jules, are you a DVD/ BLU-RAY collector?
Not really. I have a collection of them but rarely buy any these days.
