What an amazing surprise when you turned on the lights! I've never seen so many books not in a library. You even have more than my local used book store. Amazing!
Hello Jonny, I'm Brazilian, my name is Eduardo, I recently discovered your channel, I also started researching the Puritans, as I was saved by Jesus Christ 20 years ago in an Arminian church and I was never taught about the Reformed heritage. Here in Brazil, this reformed literature is very scarce, I thank God for people like you and so many other brothers who are promoting great names in reformed literature from the 16th and 17th centuries. Many books mentioned today I can find on the internet in ebook form and translate. Your library is very beautiful, it looks like Spurgeon's. A hug.
Does not Puritan Reformed Seminary have a seminary program in Brazil? Yes I have over 45 years collected many Puritan books. One of the first Reformed men I read was C.H. Spurgeon. blessings
My thought process throughout the video: "Well in a few years time I could rival the size of that with my own personal libra-... Oh, oh that was just one small _area_ of his library."
Make sure you have book cases for all your books. I wish I had only books in book cases. Once you get into collecting books/loving books there is no end.
The wall clock has pictures of birds which is quite appropriate.Surrounded by books time would not stand still.It would fly.Another remarkable thing about the clip is lack of background music which enhances its effect. The books are apparently not arranged systematically which gives human touch to the collection. One wonders where the book collector eats, sleeps and takes care of other relatively mundane activities.
Do not envy me. Books can be a curse. In the end we only need one book and that is the Bible. But I am thankful for our library. Books have been a rich blessing in my life. Books have kept me company in my state of exile-peace

The lower level is dusty. I would not consider the lower level dirty. I am kind of a clean freak. The lower level might look like a mess but it is highly organized mess covered with dust.
