Stunning! Your shelves and your book collection are amazing! First ed of The Colour of Magic!!!! I have one signed first edition of a Pratchett and it’s The Last Continent - when I was a bookseller, the rep brought me a signed copy from him on its release. My most precious book. I also cried at the biography. Subscribed and will check out your shop!
New booktuber here. I just have to say I'm drooling a bit over those shelves. Those are GLORIOUS! :) Ross, you did an amazing job. You have every right to be proud. New subscriber! :)
That first print Gardens of the Moon 😍 You should definitely try to get that signed at one point! I'm pretty certain that Erikson would love to see one of those in the wild.
If you go to Seattle WorldCon, we are DEFINITELY meeting up! We have some family in that area, but a few hours away, so can't help you there. And seriously, props to Ross (and you) on the shelves. Quite impressive! Beautiful shelves full of beautiful books. And yes, book collecting is NOT the same hobby as book reading... 😉
I want to say, I am not a book collector (I have too many books and no space) but I really love those editions that take a book and make it more than one nice bound volumes. Because I have small hands, and most these big novels are just too heavy for me to be fun to read. Or big short story collections. So I really love when I can read a small really nice bound hardcover. Have a Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft by Arcturus Press, six hand sized volumes, really nice bound and easy to read sitting in any position. Maybe this is why I like novellas more, it is not the length, it is the weight!
Oh boy, I fully empathise with this! I have tiny hands too! This is why I so often have paperback as reading copies, or even use my Kindle or listen to audio- giant hardback are tricky when you have tiny little hands! Ross does not have this problem but has had to listen to me complaining about it so understands via osmosis
The Years of Rice and Salt, the Years of Rice and Salt! I read that book at the tail end of last year and it blew my mind. I've tried making a review video and just couldn't do it justice. Then today, this very day, I finished reading Plato's Republic and it made me so want to read Rice and Salt again. And I very well might.
Picked this one up on a total whim having heard great things about Red Mars and his futurism books. The premise had me hooked. Haven't got round to reading it yet though-knowing it's a fave of yours has me thinking it might be time!
@@hardysbooks It's kinda freaky that Plato's Republic got me thinking about it again. There's a reincarnation thing going on in a kind of waiting room area called the bardo (in KSR's book). The last book of Republic is about that too.

oh shit, i have a new obsession channel
Glass Hotel (Emily St.J.M) is highly recommended Ross, if you’ve not read it yet. One of her best (in my humble opinion)
Ahhh how is that even possible-her other books are SO GOOD
That purple cover of Magician is the one I had that has disappeared somewhere along the way
I can’t remember where we got ours but I don’t think they’re too hard to find!
Nnedi Okorafor 🔥
do you think Laura will notice if I take a signed Robin Hobb? no? when can I look after Fang.
Remind me to put an Airtag on these books
Would love a peek at that Winnie the Pooh on the old shelf!
We'll send you pics on Discord 👍
Where do you get your cover protectors?
