That Dickens is stunning! A tour of your classics special editions would be cool.

We would really like a video showcase of the Special Edition of Classics

I would love to see special editions of classics. I have been getting sooo many books

A classic book edition review of your bookshelf would be marvelous! The Twelve sounds intriguing, so I need to order it; your recommendation gives it high marks. Many of the other books you mentioned are enticing, too, and congratulation on finding so rare a copy of Our Mutual Friend. Old books that have stood the test of time possess something magical, and to own them is like having buried treasure. I recently purchased Classic New England Stories, which is a collection of writers including Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Orne Jewett, Louisa May Alcott and more. My wife and I vacationed in Maine earlier in June and it was on the bookshelf at our Airbnb. I began reading the short stories and loved each one. I was unable to finish it during our stay, so I ordered two copies yesterday; one for me and a friend. Thanks, Katie, I love your videos!

My husband gradually collected and gifted me the Heritage Press Charles Dickens books, so I now have the whole set. It's the pride of my library. ❤

Love your Heritage Press edition, way to go Nick! ☺ I found a Heritage Press 1964 edition of Emma in it's case last summer at a used bookshop, but sadly has no beautiful illustrations like your Dickens! Enjoyed your video as always. Thanks for sharing! 📚❤

Yes please to more fancy editions. When one of those comes your way unbidden it always feels like the library gods are in particularly good humour.

These all seem so interesting! Excited to hear your thoughts when you read them

Special Editions are wonderful! Please do that video. Your husband must really love you!!

Country House mysteries are right up my alley.

Very nice of Nick. 😊Beautiful edition.

❤

Lovely edition - read it in good health. Of course I wasn't yet in existence in 1958 but if I recall my recent American history the Senator from Massachusetts was mounting what was eventually a successful campaign to become President of the United States. His father had been Ambassador to the Court of St James, and had owned some Hollywood movie studios too.

It was a great event 😊

Have you ever done a bookshelf tour?

I wasn’t a huge fan of The Heroines, I ended up dnfing it. But I think that was more to do with how I feel about Theseus than Laura Shepperson’s writing so I might give her new book a go. It looks like it’s based on the Aeneid which is at least something different. I have a couple of series to finish then I never want to read about Troy for a very long time. Have you read the Darkland Tales series? It’s currently at five books set throughout Scottish history, written by different Scottish authors, the most recent one was Queen MacBeth by Val McDermid, it was a brilliant subversion of Shakespeare.

I have collected that entire set of Heritage Press books by Dickens and I treasure them!

So I'm first huhhh 🤕
