  As fans of Wyndham, as you and I both are, ‘Plan for Chaos’ is an amazing gift.  Your hardback is from 2009 and a first printing.  The only other printing is a Penguin paperback from 2010 (horrid cover in my opinion).  Wyndham was stuck with an ending for ‘Day of the Triffids’ and put it away and wrote ‘Plan for Chaos’.  He couldn’t sell it in the US or UK and went back to ‘Triffids’.  An interesting alternate history would be if he sold ‘Chaos’ and ‘Triffids’ never saw the light of day.  I’m thankful things went the way it did.

  I’m pretty sure the collection at Dorset Bobs are the collection of the late Jon M Harvey. I bought approx 500 from same collection in similar condition, signed etc

  A nice collection of Marion Zimmer Bradley published by DAW Books there! Over the years, I've collected all the novels published under her own name, and I have most of those published by DAW, with the exception of the ones shown for "The Shattered Chain", "The Spell Sword", and "Darkover Landfall" - I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for those covers. The first of the Darkover novels published was actually part of an Ace Double: The Planet Savers/The Sword of Aldones (1962).

  Jules, how do you, Andy, and the Outlaw remember so many facts & details? Your memories are incredible! When I listen to your videos with Andy, I'm amazed that he remembers almost all of the people's names on the cards, the dates of many TV shows, and even how many episodes there were. Does Andy use a cheat sheet because his memory is on another level? Are there secrets that you can recommend to us mere mortals to have such an incredible ability to recall so many detailed facts? Thank you for all the amazing content that you all put out.

  What a coincidence! 60 Widmore Road, where the Penguin lost was sent, is just round the corner from me. Quite a posh house.

  As pure objects, some of those mint condition paperbacks are just works of art. A shame to even open them and expand the block of pages.

  I have the 1979 Picador Tolkien Companion, which I believe is the 2nd printing, looking forward to seeing your copy in a future video.

  Those Gor books might need to go in the 'restricted collection'. 👀
