This is a fantastic place which is actually steeped in local history, I've explored here a few times, he was book dealer with a shop in the local town many years ago, his website is still up but not active for years, unsure why you went through the window though as the door is open lol also yes the local farm comes up daily and has access to the property I know as I nearly got caught but my ninja skills won that day! Cool place but last time I was in there taking pics i could feel someone stood literally right behind me as if almost leaning on me 😱 definitely got some funky vibes in there especially the living room.. Great vid/explore. Just subscribed 👌

Im sure i have seen this one before. Still great to watch again . Great vid .

Two in one week?!! And Mark's back?! Awesome!!! 💜 And is that Kara too?? I like her, shes fearless!! 💜

Dave gonna watch this now and i hope mark is alright my friend❤❤❤👍

Nice to see Mark out with you . Great explore guys, I hope someone can save these books it would be such a shame to let them rot away. Thanks for showing this to us , stay safe guys 👍😊🌻☮

Thanks for sharing one of your OLD videos.

Someone needs to save all of those books I swear. I have never seen so many books in one home! And I am so glad to see Markie! I hope you all are doing well. But seriously someone needs to get ahold of the local library or historical society.

It would take years to clean out that house.

Awe Thanks for reading us a bedtime story! 😴 I would have been so upset if you had not read it through! ♥ I could be there for days looking thru them all & would come back again & again to read. 📚

So many books, as a Bibliophile I would love to preserve them.

So glad to see little mark with you dave❤❤❤👍

Hi Dave mark and team what an amazing place with a book collection wow the country side and veiw really enjoyed the video from Australia ❤️🤗♥️🍺👀

I thought I had a lot of books, but I am in awe that one person could collect so many. I would love to dive into just one room and sort through every book. Great video, Dave!

Wow Dave how amazing is this house.It is very claustrophobic,I could not go in there.It is such a shame,all those books are going to be destroyed in time.It was so fantastic to see Mark out exploring with you Dave,he has been missed.You have to feel sorry for the man that lived there,but I expect he was happy on his own,and doing what he was doing.Thankyou Dave I really enjoyed this video,but I am sure I have seen this house before,it was really interesting.Stay safe all of you.❤️❤️❤️

I could spend days looking through those books. I love books.

Hmmm...I feel like I've seen this before, but it's always fun to revisit such a cool place. I'd of been afraid of all those books falling on someone. Thank goodness you weren't alone. Thanks again for the peek inside.

I am enjoying watching your explores. Thank you for sharing them. It has given me the opportunity to see parts of your country that I will never get to see in person.

26:03 It's Poppy 🐤!!

Thank you for this explore, amazing amount of books with many in good condition. He would have had a very good business going there at one time, each shelf was named and numbered so he would have probably had a reference in his computer or paper files. Sad though it is, he obviously loved the books he had, and took great care of them as his treasures and income. Many who suffer with mental illness or dementia in middle or old age find comfort in familiar things or objects around them, this develope's into hoarding which there are many types. I was surprised that you never once looked inside the front of any of these books for a publishing date, especially the very old ones in plastic covers. Great to see Mark with you again. Thank you 💕🇦🇺

Hi..👋 just want to say, really enjoying your journey through the different abandoned buildings!!!!! Love to you too ♥️👍

Awesome ❤

I think I’ve seen this before,he must have been a dealer in books.so sad that all the books will be destroyed with time.xx

Yeah; I remember them 'reading' that kids book and estimating the amount there plus the map getting stuck. Wonder what happened to the guy.

I've missed so many videos, I need to get caught up. I lost my Dad in January, still not over that. Plus my Son just got out of the Hospital, he was in a Diabetic Coma for a week. This year has started out very rough. But I will get caught up, I miss watching you guys and love your videos. Hope you are doing well. Take care

She's AWESOME.. she was so cool on her own ALL that time.. poor Mark was probably more touched out by that place than you are.. so overwhelming and sensory experience

I feel like I've seen this before. So many books left. Such a shame. Good to see Mark on this one. ❤️

Omg 🙌 I’ll watch this when home from work later 💜

Wow that's all I can say... Great to see you & Mark together. It would be fabulous if many of the books could be salvaged & recycled!!! Thank you for sharing. Love to you Mark & families as always ❤️❤️

I think you are right, Dave, he is selling books on ebay. Side note, every classroom at my elementary school had a pull down map at the top of the chalkboard

Woohoo ! Abandoned World Explorer Gold brings us this classic episode again. Now with previously unseen footage of explorers approaching the house, and 2 new CGI characters accompanying Dave and Mark in this classic adventure. Spot the Dog at 18:30.

I knew a lady once who had a house of books like this one. Except, every one of her books was a cookbook! She never cooked either. 🤭 Thanks for the explore! You guys are so funny! 😅

Wow what a place! I once booked a holiday home in Scotland which when I got there was exactly the same- well nearly, this place is worse to be honest! An Opal rekord is the European version of the Vauxhall Chevette . With every explore you make it becomes veer clear that there’s so many people around the world who are living/ existing in squalid conditions and very lonely- if only we could help these people.

Books, books, books and more books ‼️ WOW‼️ You guys walked through tons of money. What a waste of knowledge and entertainment. Great video, good to see Mark too.

This is Crazy! I wander how on earth He got those shelves up those stairs and stacked like that ? Thanks Dave for your awesome videos as always , you will always be my top fave explorers on You Tube xoxo

This is 1crazy house of books I thought a library had loads but the person lived in that house beat a library to it well I suppose he or she would not get board Every book you name it he or she got it I thought u would look in the fridge freezer bet there was books in that I had the pinky and perky books bet there was beno books has well I would have a field day in there it's a wonder u 4 didnt fall through the floor boards when u was up stairs how sad it all will go mouldy like some of em av seen that was 1great video guys that one was worth watching u tell a great story Dave

Someone commented this man had a book store in town. He’s using this house to store his inventory. He may later have sold online. You’re lucky to get out with your life. Books weigh a tremendous amount. The upper floors could have collapsed and crushed all of you. I literally feel suffocated. There’s so much mold, even in plastic I don’t know if good for anyone. Perhaps he had a living space at the store. Really not habitable for anyone. Enjoyed seeing it though.

I might be wrong but have you not done this house before. I’m sure I remember you doing this house ages ago. I might be wrong thou

And my family tells me I have too many books. I'd be in heaven in some of the places you go with all those books. Such a shame they will be lost. I'm sure some are extremely rare. Thanks for sharing. My sister showed me one of your videos and I've been hooked since! Thanks again and much love for the states!

I could barely handle watching this! It’s a hoarders dream and a normal persons nightmare! 😳

Yea !!!! Another one !!! Thank you !!!

More books than in a library! And I thought I have too much things at Home. WTH! Wow! 😂 Very interesting documentary! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for story time! How I remember reading Spot books to my kids. This house and all the books was amazing.

It's such a shame the condition of the books. God forbid there be a fire. Thanks for this showing

I remember seeing this place before and being shocked someone could live in there, it’s even sadder the second time. I still enjoyed watching, it’s insane. I love how you guys were rummaging through the cars & reading Spot 😂 X 💗💗

This man was a book addict! Why did he not leave all of his collection of books to a library, schools. So strange that he didn’t safe guard his collection for when he would inevitably pass away? kind of shocking really to see all these thousands of books going to waste. Beginning to think people think they can take their houses and possessions with them into the afterworld…. Total madness! Thanks for your film, you guys n gals rock 🎉 Where’s Spot!? Lol

Wow that was crazy! Im going have nightmares being lost in a maze of books 📚 🙃

I love it when you find places full of stuff like that, especially books and old photos. I'd love to buy a place like that and clean and organise it all, it would take me forever tho coz I'd want to study everything lol😂Great video. Xxx

I have no words for this place. It just makes me sad to see all the books that are not being read, the reason books are made.

The owner had a library of books.👍📚 Nice video Dave and Mark.

I Love Books But Our Library doesn't even have this many Books! Nice to see you Dave & Marky! Love You Guys❣ 🧚‍♀️

Glad to see you and Marky back together

Whoa! Books a Million! This is crazy! Glad to see Mark back with you😊

OMG! Loved Story Time!!!!!

This was amazing and very sad. I hope someone will be allowed to find and catalog all rare books before they rot away! I volunteer!

A plant pot on the window sill, still alive! Must be so much moisture in the house!? But incredible the books, that are not in plastic seem alright. I’d love to look through those books! Maybe the book man went senile?, that would be 😢 ironic

Wow an incredible find, we’ll done.

Hello mate 👍

My favourite duo together again. A treat for a Tuesday 💙💙

I reeeeally wish someone would rescue those precious books! They've been wrapped in plastic, somebody save them!

Seen that house before maybe another KZread has done it

Reading Spot's Birthday party book was great! Love your humor!

My dad had an opel rekord in the 1980s I have that exact manual from when I cleared the house out. So many books I. That house it’s crazy. Great find

Lovely surprise to see you their when I picked up my iPad ,keep doing what your doing Dave lv Ann ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏🙏

One word…..AMAZING, thankyou for the tour😀

This is crazy, if you knew what to look for you could be rich.omg..amazing.. it’s a library of antique books.

Sorry Im late watching this mate. Been sick. Love you lots. Living through you and your adventures vicariously. Stay safe. God Bless x Thanyou for sharing your adventures with us 😀 love from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺💜

If a house could cry, this ones tears would never stop. Such a sad and depressing existence. As always much love from West Virginia ❤️ 💙 ♥️

I saw something on KZread a while back, if thats the house, the guy sold the books online. Basically lived in a small area in his office

Was great to see Mark out exploring with you. I love books and would have been there for hours just looking at all of them. 😁

One of the best videos ever. It needs to be saved. Well done. Stay safe.xx

That person had literally a massive collection of books. There had to be billions of them. It like they turned the house into a library. Great video.

Gosh!! Someone please rescue these stacks of awesome old knowledge amongst these books. Definitely a hoarder. ❤️🇦🇺🦘

Mark needs to do ceebeebies bedtime story or library reading time.. he's genuinely very good at stories 👏

This was some epic find😯😯😯 You literally have to see it, to believe it. It must have taken a lifetime to collect all these books, and probably another, to actually sell them. 🤭😬 However, he seemed to have been a funny guy, with all the quirky quotes on the walls. Great explore, thanks guys😘👍😘👏❣️

Awesome! A throw back and one of my favorites, thanks Dave.

Should I put my Wellies on? If you run... always zigzag. What an awesome sound of the creek running through the property. Can the books wrapped in plastic be saved? My heart was in my throat when yall climbed those stairs. Storytime with AWE... I bet, he could lay his hand on any book you asked him for. It appears he had some type of system. How many dang rooms are in that house? I am stressing out with you all being up the stairs on those floors. Such an amazing find.

Thanks dave for another great explore 👌 loved it take care my friend much love 💘❤ 💘 ❤

Good to see beautiful Mark out

I love seeing book cases full but this house is overwhelmed with books

Great video! This gentleman puts a whole new meaning to the word hoarder

Great video. Another explorer did this house a good while ago. It is getting worse now. I know explores never take anything, but I had a thought. You seem to be a very caring person who respects the property . No one is going to save this place, and I think when the property looks this bad and will end up in a landfill. Why can’t it be put to good use. I see a lot of expensive things in some houses that have been abandoned. This guy loved books. It was his passion. I’m sure he sold a lot of them. There was a site that just sold books that people on up for sale. I made good money selling my books. Unfortunately eBay purchased it then got rid of it. This man probably lost a lot of money when they stopped it. I thought maybe when a building is crumbling, someone should takes some of them and sell them and donate the money to a charity, like maybe an animal rescue. I would take the ones in plastic. See if he has a section for old books. I would take the mini cars too. Just a thought. Debbie.

Wow! That’s a lot of books!!

The Opel Record was the European equivalent to the vauxhall Carlton The Kadett was the equivalent of the Chevette. The ascona was the euro Cavalier.

a library doesnt even have that many haha, im shocked really, this is just wow !

Another video? You bless us

Omg yes!!!! Perfect end to my day❤️❤️❤️

So good to see Mark on this explore!! Together you rock! Crack me up you two are so in tuned! I’m sure these books are holding the house up. I don’t get a happy or sad feeling but I get a feeling of just existing.

What a video. All the books, I love to collect books. This would be a book lovers dream. Thanks for story time, Love to you and Mark. Be safe out there.

OMG Absolutely magnificent.,,The whole video was breath taking and the best i`ve seen in some time Great job guys keep them coming All take care and stay safe See you in the next adventure can`t wait.😀❤X

Wow amazing I never saw too many books not much space inside wow how those people living in there I really love your videos God bless everyone from Houston Texas ❤️

Never in my life have I seen so many books 📚 mind blowing. A fan in Pontiac Michigan USA

Ereeey as it looks! These books are worth so much! Great explorer as always.

Nothing is A.W.E with Dave Absent.Without.being Explrored keep on exploring Dave and don't go A.bsent W.ithout E.xploring

When you start walking around the bend in the driveway, it reminds me of an old Hammer Films scene.🦹‍♀️

I have never seen so many books in one house. It's shame to see them like that as there are probably some real gems there. Why is no one sorting it out ?. There is probably a few hundred quid just in those Haynes car manuals believe it it or not. Anyway, nice one AWE.
