I wish you and Rebecca would start a show where you chase down rare books and then present it all on KZread.

Long form, short form....doesn't matter. Say what you have to say. Those that enjoy, will follow. I particularly enjoy the deep philosophy mixed with the modern media humor! Please continue to bury smiles within your presentations. The exposure to items most of us will never see is a gift. Thank you.

You have been a great resource to me in my business! I have now been selling rare books full time for more than 8 months and I’m very grateful for creators like you. I look forward to working with you in the future!

Since I am a calligrapher in Greek language, constantly in search for rare scriptures, what you are presenting is in my interests and love them!!!

I like the long form. I don't agree with KZread's idiotic algorithm that's trying to do Tiktok. Seems like you're getting up there on subscribers though, to 10K, which should get you a plaque, so hopefully that will allow for more of the long form content pieces.

I love your content, anything you make I eat it up. Any rare book collector loves your videos long or short. I appreciate your videos greatly.

I feel that rare books are the lifeblood of the academic instinct in man. From the arcane codex of the prehistoric priest, to the underground street scene zines of the 1990's. A rare tome of knowledge, in any format, is a window into the depths of the human experience.

Glad to see you again.

They truly are remarkable. Thank you.

I have many older books but how fun to see your rare books! My palms are sweating!

Precious is the man who values a book

Very intriguing and fascinating information on 📚📖!

I love that you know the stories behind how the books survived, thank you for sharing!

Great video. Definitely keep the long-form coming. Love it.

Keep finding the best! The older, the better! Derek Lipscombe

I love old and rare books! Thank you Adam!

I love the comparison of people and books both being survivors. Thank you for that. ❤

In the darkness of the night, we ride, Through the fire and the flames, side by side, With our steel in hand, and our hearts of pride, We're the warriors of the night, our spirits cannot hide.

The acquisition of a profound appreciation for literature, inherited from my father during our residence amidst the verdant expanse of the Venezuelan Amazon, has paved the way for a transformative chapter in my life. Now afforded the privilege of dwelling in this venerable land, replete with repositories of human wisdom, the stewardship of these literary troves assumes a profound significance-an endeavor to safeguard the annals of history for posterity. It is, undeniably, an extraordinary odyssey across the tapestry of time and space.

I am forwarding this to a person connected with Manoogian Museum in Southfield, MI which reconstructs the history of the Armenian people through the ages. “The museum houses an eclectic collection that spans more than three millennia, bringing coherence to the Armenian people’s history, which is fraught with hardships and glories.”

Old book collecting has been a hobby of mine but I've never really known much about the rarity of them. Can't wait to learn more about it!

I was absolutely stunned by the typography and page layout of the 1772 newspaper! I'd love to win that one

I really enjoy learning about books from your Instagram posts and now I can follow you here with longer posts that are so intriguing! Thank you!!

I love hearing about rare books and antique books, your knowledge is plentiful

I’ve been watching various antiquarian book collectors for several years now and I am extremely interested in creating a collection of my own. I’ve also especially been drawn to books on the occult, older systems of symbology, theology, and science. I truly adore the history of it all.

My goodness, that second binding is just beautiful. Great and interesting summaries. You’ve got another subscriber!

I just recently discovered you and am in awe! My daughter will be studying public history/library science and will, ultimately, be an archivist. I love sharing the information you give us with her!!

I would love to this this book as a gift to my mom, she absolutely loves reading any type of book.

I love your resources on old historical stuff, makes me want to accrue such a collection in the future!

I’m not new to antiquarian books, but I am new to your KZread account and I’m excited to have the chance to learn from you and see some amazing rare finds. Thank you for sharing. 🤓

Illuminated books, my favourite of the rare books. My favourite room to tour at Mission San Juan Bautista is the room that has all the rare books! 🤓

Great survivors! You lured me in with the give away, keeping me with this fabulous content

Love old books !

Incredible pieces of history! It’s truly remarkable to be able to hold such important artifacts in your hands.

Love all the rare alchemy books you post!

handling antique books is my absolute favorite form of time travel. nothing transports me quite like a fine bit of marginalia.

I definitely like seeing your rare book collections

Love all the content. Always fun to learn new things about fun old books!

I love old books. Great content on your channel.

You are such a rich vessel of history and you make it sound so easy. Love it. (I could not help but notice your beautiful hands. Thanx for sharing.

2024 rare book give away. I subscribed even though I don't have to. I love antique books. Just looking at them leaves me excited. The real treasure though is how they show the steps we have taken as a species in our knowledge. It's so amazing to watch your videos and dream of the hidden gems you have.

Thank you so much for the content you create. It has always brighten up my day to know every day a little bit more about books. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Absolutely fascinating. So excited to find your channel! I love the idea of books as survivors. There are few objects that outlive generations and pass along knowledge. Art and books are my favorite of those! Thanks for creating these videos and preserving these precious pages!

I just saw your book giveaway on IG, and it said to comment on YT. I did it immediately. Id absolutely love the religious text.. the history is extraordinary. God bless you sir.

Currently reading Sea Wolf and love the content -

It must be so amazing to experience words from history I just love it 😍

My books are definitely my constant companions

So beautiful and remarkable

This makes me want to start collecting books again!

How interesting to think of them as survivors!

Fantastic books! as always you have all my respect! the books you offer are particular, rare and interesting! The bindings of the specimens are beautiful!

Fascinating video discussion, and for it to be filled with little bits of humor makes it that much better!

Hey, loved your spots on PS. Especially the Mark Twain one. Keep up the positive energy and work!

It's been my dream since my teens to collect rare/old/odd/esoteric books. Very cool that you get to actually do it! Old books with strange artwork are my favorite. It's like holding a very rare and specific point in history that most humans alive will never get to see. True treasures!

I enjoy your postings on Instagram. I’m pleased to have found your KZread content as well. Happy New Year to you.

I just found your page and I love it! Can’t wait to go through all your videos!

Thank you for sharing all the Cool book information! And your FB give Aways !

Muchas gracias por los videos y los regalos que haces.

Fascinating! Love it! 🙌🙌🙌

Nice to see some slavic and eastern books, they are bigger survivors than those from the west.

Please make it easier for subscribers to enter! Love your focus and adventure quest!

Nice, I like longer form too.

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” Thank you for sharing these beautiful work of art and words with us.

Thank you for doing this!!!

Very cool! Nice post.

Always informative for us book lovers out here......Paul Biondi

My mother was a diligent Methodist throughout her life. She died nine years ago and sadly I did not get any of her old religious texts when she died. I have been doing a bit of research into religious hymn writing after getting an antique Bilhorn folding organ and yesterday picked up an old big print Methodist hymn book from 1933 published for Australia and New Zealand where I live. I got it at my local thrift store. While the book is nothing compared to the books you have, it was published not long after my mother was born and adds to the history of New Zealand, which is a young country anyway. I mentioned a bat night light on your instagram giveaway story and seeing your light in this video I think you need to find an antique bat night light to light up your bookshelf!

This is awesome!!

Long time caller first time listener ❤

Love your books/posts and thank you.

Love all the book content!

Incredible works, thanks for sharing

Love the videos! Love the books.

Awesome! I want it!!!!

I can imagine how incredibly it must feel to be able to handle these rare books. Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏

Thank you for the information learned a lot through the channel!

For your rare book giveaway, I will provide one quote from one of my antique books: “ It has been said that there are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written, or to write what is worthy of being read.” -Reverend Theophilus Stork, D. D.

This is cool, thanks for sharing

I’m only just finding out you have a KZread as well, fantastic!

Books are inherently precious. Old books especially embody the idea of hope: a wish, that knowledge, important enough to be written or printed and bound so meticulously, would survive to be experienced and appreciated by others. The inherent fragility of the materials, the care and attention to each detail (even the quirky margin doodles of so many illuminated manuscripts), makes it so happening upon one is like witnessing a shooting star or finding a four leaf clover. Coins are nice, but they don't tend to be quite as awesome as old books. Perhaps that's just my bias though.

You always do such interesting videos! Thanks!!

I am a big fan Adam! I watch you on pawn stars and you are my favorite seller on the show. I just thought to look and see if you have your own store or anything, glad to see you are available to the public and have a KZread page! I enjoy your knowledge and expertise, your wit, and your eye for interesting pieces.

❤ love this..

Love the videos!

Thankyou for the video. That was informative and enjoyable. More please. :)

Wow I’m not as well versed but I love books and what a blessing for someone like you to be able to show us antique writings/books. Thank you.

You know what friend... You're doing great. You have a really good channel, I follow you on like two platforms now. The books you show us make me so happy, it's basically a hobby to watch your stuff at this point 😂 and the history is just crazy, you bring ancient people back to life... Thank you for that. Happy new year Adam.

To hold these pieces of history in your hands must be a wonder ♥️

Oh Alcatius is my favorite author ever. I suppose I am too late for the competion but I have been dreaming about owning an original for twenty years…

Nice !

Love old books...the look..the texture of the paper...the smell of the past....an old book is like a friend of the past...thanks for posting such wonderful books!

Hi, I’m still me! Getting here wasn’t easy but I love your insights. I hope I win the legal book!

Great video!

I would love to catch one of your wonderful giveaways! 🙈🙉🙊

Long time subscriber! I collect old Bibles, Torahs, Qurans, and any other religious books I can find from the 1700s and 1800s! I’m American but lived in remote Scotland for almost a decade and would always find the most unreal (and unwanted!) religious books hundreds of years old at random antique shops in random villages. I would buy them for a mere few £ each find, each time my mind blown no one wanted them. It brings great pride to know I’m helping preserve history. I also make sure to read every word of every book I find. There is unending treasure and wisdom in the books from ages ago! Thanks for always putting out this important content!

I enjoy watching content such as yours both at work and on my massive TV at home - as a poet author and reader - books are my life and I'm especially interested in my place on the timeline from the earliest books to those of the future. Preservation of these treasures is imperative.

John Dunlap is known for the Declaration of Independence but less known for bringing printing to Charlottesville, Virginia on July 3rd, 1781.

Love the channel! 🔥

Really enjoy your content

That’s news paper on your instagram page is pretty cool.
