- Опубликовано: 30 ноя 2023
- This is a spectacular home library that is filled with first editions of some of the world's most notable books: first editions of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Les Miserables, King James Bible, Anne of Green Gables, The Count of Monte Cristo and much more!
I feel like that room of the old books smells amazing! One of the best smells in the world is books
Aye. And fragrance of women too. Especially, like, after they have got some soap over them .
It’s a distinct aroma
As a fellow bibliophile, this channel is quite possibly the best thing since the internet. Thanks for sharing! Such a wonderfully curated and diverse collection.
Your taste and collection are well on their way to competing with the Stewart-Gardener art collection in Boston.
Again thanks so much for sharing! I always joke RUclips has become somewhat of a contemporary Library of Alexandria. Thanks for validating 😎
I’m currently reading The Hobbit for the first time (and loving it). When the first book you pulled out was The Hobbit, my jaw dropped.
Beautiful and impressive collection.
Great work on this collection Reid! Some real gems in here
Christmas came early! Thanks for the long form content, this is fantastic!
Thank you for this! What a fantastic collection.
43:44 Now you got my attention. For me, the Holy Grail would be a first edition copy of Cook's voyages, with the folio volume. Also I want one of Vancouver, and a first edition Anson, and all the rest of them. Krusenstern, Langsdorff, all the South Seas explorers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Pretty sure my dad has first edition lord of the rings set and Silmarilion. When I was young I remember my dad and uncle discussing who would have the books in their library.
straight from brazil! love your videos on TikTok and just stumbled upon you YT channel
I figure my collection is worth about $20 thousand. This is just astounding.
Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 amazing collection
Awesome collection!
Cottageville, Outside of Charleston, SC. is our location. The Bible from 1611 was amazing to see, thank you. I was going to ask for an early addition of Shakespeare but you beat me to it, again thank yoiu.
Love the Tolkien collection! Signed editions are especially amazing.
Amazing collection. I like your style and taste . Respect ✊
Very interesting! Watching from Finland
Thanks for watching!
To have that kind of money.. Wow... Just wow
😮
this is just amazing
Love the use of clam shell boxes...how do you determine when to use a clamshell...do you prefer a specific manufacturer? Thanks!
My jaw dropped when you pulled out Thor's hammer. Watching from Ohio and enjoying every minute💜
I like the thick bookshelves that don't sag.
Great curation. What recommendations do you have for sturdy bookshelves?
marvelous
That Harry Potter book is so dope zz. I need that
Hello Reid! Watching from Arizona. I’d love to see what Ben Hur books you have!
35:45 I recognize that mug in the background. Is that the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
Edit: yes, it is. Dude has the literal Holy Grail on the shelf, as far as I'm concerned.
Watching from Accra Ghana West Africa
I wish we could see the whole room please!!!
I’m really interested in book collecting, but not sure where to start. It seems like all of the second hand books I see are second hand.
I would be deathly afraid of silverfish if I were you, ha ha.
How do you protect the books from vermin
Multi million dollar library, I'm sure it has humidity controls, and seals on the door
I wonder if the store's collection includes Pippy Longstocking. I once met quite by happenchance the author of Pippy Longstocking. I was familiar with the book because of a school teacher who read the book to the class over a period of a few weeks.
New or old the story is the main thing. If you can’t afford the rare, get the secondhand one
Enjoying this content. It's the Christmas season, Charles Dickens or C.S. Lewis (?)
Great video!! Hearing the camera person in the background is a bit maddening!!!
Any copys of around the world in 80 days ? My favorite book
What’s your oldest Shakespeare? Any first editions ?
The Good Soldier Sweik from Czech by Hasek?
Would’ve really enjoyed seeing some Charles Dickens and my favorite, Mark Twain.
What state are you guys in
Do you have the book of five rings by miyamoto musashi?
Can I see this video from a horizontal angle?
Nice books. But I think a collection should have a focus, should be more individual. This just seems like a rich person's shopping list.
It's good to be king
😅
Curious if you have any book with jewel binding? Or a very nice binding of the count of monte cristo? Or for that matter any very beautiful binded books?
Theres no pockets in shrouds.
Hi from Australia. What a beautiful library. I am putting together a library and I have some questions... Is this library climate controlled? Also, I noticed many of the books seem to have their own protective box. Is that something you recommend? I have some valuable books and it worries me having them out on the shelf, but on the same token, I have been told that books need air around them circulating to prevent binding failure, mould and foxing etc. Would love to know your thoughts, or maybe you could do a video on how to protect valuable books in a library such as this. Cheers
That super old Vulgate bible you have is so impressive. I would love to hold it.
I can't believe this only cost 4 million. Surely the title means this is the library of a 4 million dollar home?
any 17th century Cyrano De Bergeracs?
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Annotated
Novella by Robert Louis Stevenson
First Edition
First edition Walden and Little Women
How much is the Latin Bible worth? ❤
Original bible?
MAN I LOVE THE IDEAR I LOVE THE LOOK BUT WHY WHOULD you upload it in this weird format
Maybe I missed it but wouldn't you want to include Charles Dickens?
Shakespeare alone...
😮
😮
Livingston book
The price is clipped
It seems unsporting to simply buy up a huge, precious collection like this, without the doing hard yards assembling your own.
Do you have books about Demons, Angles, witches ect....?
Did you not see the large bible? hello
Are there any Russian classics?
Why does he let it sit in a retail space and touch no gloves? lol like where’s the temp controls?
He answered the gloves question in the video
Everything?? Fantasmagoriana First edition ( Paris 1812)?!! Extremely unlikely!

How did these rare books come into One's possession?
it seems as though they would be normally in museum book vault environmental protective.
Seems really disconcerting this is what become of valuing reality
Won't the books get bleached by all the sunlight?
If you have an original Gutenberg Bible please give me a ring :)
Really wanted to watch this, but filming in portrait on a iPhone makes it look like I'm viewing this through a keyhole on my TV. Shame.
This is cool, but I don’t really understand how this was created? Did the owner give you $4m and said pick all my books for me? That’s cool but also kind of sad in a way.
Ok, you’re rich.

Enough with the marvel hammer. Isn't this a library?
Why. The hell. Do they keep. Interrupting him. Let the man speak!
Quit interrupting the man
Sure not using gloves is the correct way to open pages, but might I suggest a cushioned podium in this private library to protect the heavy handed handling of these precious books 😱
Very unprofessional interruptions from the clowns filming this!
