Our long weekend in France got spontaneously bookish when we decided to visit Amiens - long-time home and final resting place of Jules Verne.

Thanks!
@@spodposterpubcrawls-rr9if Thank you so much!
dafür 70 euro auf amazon find ich schon frech ich dachte es ist mit rezepten voll aber nein
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
"Just because something is old doesn't mean it's valuable." Thank you for clarifying that. I work as a coin dealer. I've been collecting for most of my life, and most people seem to think that, for example, bronze coins minted during the late Roman Empire must be valuable because they're thousands of years old. But we have a bucket of them; they're extremely common. When I started collecting books, I found out about this very quickly too.
Thank you so much! I was at our local new/used book store and they had the new Sara J Maas book for 2.99. It is 6 months old. But the duct jacket was damaged. So I picked the least damaged copy…or so I thought. When I got home and took the book out of the bag i felt the text block slip in my hands, but the hardcover hadn’t moved. I’m glad I found your video! Thank you!!!
Do you have any recommendations for a cream white clothbound book that's developed discolouration? Please 😢
Ooh, I can’t say that I do. There is a book cleaner solution, but I don’t think that would help in that situation. Sorry!
Do you have a video on how to repair the outer edge of a of the spine when it’s ripped on the edge of the front cover?
Thanks so much for this video! Very informative. I enjoyed it very much. I am sure to buy a few I didn’t know existed. Thanks!
I have had good results using acrylic paint to improve book covers.
GET OFF THE ROAD!! Happy belated brithday 😊😊🥳🥳
This is exactly what I have been doing today, with a small, flimsy Wescott 6" ruler. I will sacrifice any tears to keep my book!
WHAT!!! Are you an archivist????? Have you lost your mind??? Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE.
What about 2 sheets of paper? How can I separate them? Thank you.
Wow! What a great way to improve the perfectly fine and beautiful but worn reading copies that can be found everywhere! As your Fountainhead example showed; one is left with a very nice hardcover copy with lovely spine. A nice way for anyone to begin to create a beautiful "everyman" library. Thanks for sharing!
I Freaking shredded it 😭
The idea of using lighter fluid on books is a bit mind blowing! I'm happy to see it working for you but I'm not sure i could bring myself to do it!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!

I'm trying to repair an old bible. Thank you
We have them in Australia too.
Thank you Jess!
How much tax did you have to pay ordering from minalima and delivering to the states?
I live in the UK actually!
Just recently found your channel. Great list here. Stolen Focus has been on my TBR for a while. Why We Sleep is one of my favorites. I highly recommend Change Your Thoughts, Change your Life by Wayne Dyer (life changing for me), and also Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. I’m going to check out Darrin Brown too.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll add them to my list. And it’s Derren Brown to help with your search. 🤓
Hello. How do I paste back torn front cover?
Email me some photos! jess.trainedsquirrels@gmail.com
I heard of someone who had a worm crawl up into his brain, eat some of it, then die. It was on the news recently. The worm was in his head for many years. Maybe the worm didn't have a book to go to.
Nice! 🎩🌂
Awesome! 😎
Very helpful! 😘🌻
Thanks! 🌻
Thanks for the vid. 🌻
Enjoyed the video. 🌻
Jess, Thank you from the bottom of my heart sooo much for all your amazing videos! They've been quite informative and also helped me in times of extreme difficulties, like war and more. I've been watching them for a while! I'm a Bibliophile and a multipotentiate (thanks for the new word and the validation regarding this!!!). I too have done many things; my interests very fairly wildly. I have an art gallery that I sometimes open, and a glass studio that sometimes isn't in service because I need to get oxygen and glass -and I'm too busy learning paper marbling or learning everything I can about ASW Rosenbach, or I'm painting everyday or whatever. Thanks for making me feel a bit less alone. I'd be happy to (hopefully) be supportive of your new idea for making money. By the way, even though I REALLY Love Books, this is probably the best or one of the best videos you've ever done, at least from my perspective for whatever that's worth ( and I've seen all or almost all of your videos except your new ones). A lot of bibliophiles have varied forms of mental illness. Just read "A Gentle Madness" by Nicholas Basbanes., which is excellent. Thus I think speaking to bibliophiles (and perhaps bibliomanoacs, biblioklepts, etc) about mental illness works perfectly. They fit together perfectly. A really great important video Jess-BRAVO!!! I'm glad your husband's doing better and I wish you both happiness, health, authenticity, and blessings; and may your love for each other grow wondrously and beautifully.!!! Shalom
What a kind comment. Thank you! Indeed we are not alone! Best wishes to you. Stay safe.
This was WONDERFUL, Jess, thank you so much for taking me along!
Wow whay a stunning home.
Delightful video, niece. I am always in awe of the architecture in Europe. The cathedral offers up a bewildering "HOW?". The graveyard shames what we have come to now, a little brass plate on the ground, hidden by overgrown grass. No one will be visiting them a hundred years from now. Is any of your soundtrack done by your talented Hubby? Keep up the great work. XO
Aww, thanks! And yes, the music from about 3 minutes in until the end is all composed by James! :)
As a bookseller, nothing brought me more joy than the original strict on sale box ❤
Ça alors! As visual treats go that was a rich repast indeed. Now I want a small, improbable flying machine to hang from my ceiling. A pleasure to hear from you again, many thanks.
That was a beautiful video! The inventor or Steampunk. Must go to Amiens!
Adding that trip to my bucket list, I grew up with his books. Thanks for sharing
Splendid content, Jess. Let your freak flag fly. ("Multipotentialite" is an ungainly term, however: consider "polymath", "polyhistor", "dilettante".) You sound a lot like me, by which I partly mean, well...have you looked into ADHD at all? (That's how my own non-neurotypicality is pigeonholed.) Also, please don't think of your invaluable book videos as at all "inauthentic". A library is a tool that allows one's mind to turn more easily in many directions. It enables the very fulfillment of one's authenticity.
As someone who's worked in libraries for a long time I've come to love foxing as a wonderful little blemish of the aging book!
Amazing work. I really like the shelves now, but I love the beam. So cool.
Harry Potter Almanac is great book too 🥹
Yes! You did it and it is so amazing! You have the most amazing home library that I have ever seen. Good job. WOW I sure hope you don't ever have to move.
Sometimes when i buy an art book that was published in the 70s, 80s,or even the 90s the edges of the cloth binding not protected by the dust jacket have faded so i use a flip chart marker pen [ water based ] thus restoring the original colour, only a few colours available but it does a good job with the appropriate books . Can i suggest when you are colouring the inside edges near the white paper you could use a cotton bud for more precision and maybe weakened masking tape to shield parts.
Great tips! Thank you.
I discovered your channel through this video. I am also a book collector of modest income. 😎📚👍
They sell this at Disney world Epcot on the first store and it’s around 25-30 bucks and I say it’s worth it!
Hi there. Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your content. Especially the 451 material. I've been using your content on and off in my grade 10 English class here in Niagara Falls Ontario. So thanks so much. Keep it up!
What a wonderful comment! Thank you. I have many more videos planned if I can find the time to make them. Do let me know if you have any requests or suggestions for future videos. Ones like the Fahrenheit 451 are my favourite to make because of all the fun research work involved, but of course that means they take longer to produce. Best wishes!
Cool! Thank you very much ❤
Please, can you lose the background noise, I won't dignify it by comparing it to music. It's just a distraction, totally unnecessary!
Settle down.
