  • Tim has a great number of items in his collection which LOOK like books, but which turn out on closer examination to be subtly different, and in many cases not to be books at all.

      +Dan Reader Buddy, they've been there for a while, and they're most likely you, since RUclips's primary demographic are around that age now. Just because your mom or dad had a record player doesn't mean you grew up in the age of vinyl - CD's have been available since '82, and compact cassettes since '62. Records were outmoded a long, long time ago.

    when i was younger i had two "books" that when opened, were actually paper houses. one of them was a renaissance-style castle, and the other was a vintage looking house. you'd open them up 360º like the book light shown in the video, and you'd have quite a few rooms, and two floors. there was plenty of cute little secrets like a closet under the stairs, or being able to open and shut the castle gates.

    it's amazing what kind of novelty books we used to have before touch screen tablets and microchips.
    a book like that little record player would just have an electronic soundbyte in it now.

    I'd join the books not-to-be-read club
    and then I'd open up with
    "This book is made to order, but it isn't to be read"

    I had one of those piano books growing up. It's one of the first thing that got me interested in music and now 16 years later that's what I'm studying in college along with Creative Writing. In other words, I'm gonna be broke as hell coming out of college XD

    The big white book, I’ve read before. My grandpa has it, so when we visit him every Saturday, I read a little bit of it.

    Years ago, we made tabletop Xmas trees out of Reader's Digest issues (altered books). And it made me sad to think a tree had been ground to pulp just to become a tree again...

    That book lamp is amazing! They're apparently making a "mini" version that'll include a charging port for your phone but I wish they'd put that feature in the large version, too.
