Thanks anon. The folio’s are real nice. Early 2000s budget copies so they aren’t full buckram like most of their stuff, but the boards have some good art.

The Seneca translation was Robin Campbell, which I’m a big fan of, but I haven’t read any of the others to compare. Not a full collection of his letters though. Aurelius is the Maxwell Staniforth translation. It’s good, but a bit dated. I prefer the Hays translation from Penguin. Picked this one up cheap second hand though, and it’s real nice to read. Good thick paper stock.

90% of my books I have as pdf on my computer. 90% of the ones on my shelf are thrift store classics that don't really show what I read. but the 10% of the other ones on my shelf are the best books i've read that i got a physical copy of.) I'm 20 how the fuck am I supposed to have the money to get physical copies for all the books I read? Many of them don't exist in a physical form anyways. Plus you're making a commitment that you are not going to be mobile really. I would like to travel around and not have to lug a bunch of paper around as well as the things I need. Most of the books in my digital library I obtained for free. I have them all backed up on a hard drive. It may not look as fashionable or cute but why should I care I don't sit at home staring at the book. I read them or I don't

The Hitler’s war is split in half at the spine crease from a previous owner likely folding the damn thing over. I tried to tape it the best it could when it finally fully split. Now it’s in my mini WWII museum next to an mg-34/42 ammo can and some sho-ka-kola.

there's something so soulless and artificial about these types of shelves. it probably has something to do with them being premeditated and curated book *collections*, rather than a piece of furniture of that has incidentally and organically filled with books that the owner has read. the cheap shelving certainly doesn't help remedy this impression.

These bindings upset pseuds not only because they're new and lack any visible signs of wear, but because by virtue of being well-crafted hardcovers they're unlikely to accumulate them any time soon. These are very disturbing qualities in books to your average il/lit/erati who yearns to demonstrate nicely creased and cracked "definitely perused and totally not pseud" paperback spines more than he wants to actually read the very pages they hold together. In their eyes, investing in a sturdy, luxurious leather or nicely decorated buckram bindings to please the owner's eye and provide the books with more longevity is antithetical to the one and only reason of owning physical books at all; that is to serve as an achievement display that would quickly and unambiguously communicate to the two drunken girls and three college dudebros who visit their studio apartment once a year just how authentically e/lit/e and genuinely well-read the owner is, whilst definitely not trying to pretend to want to hope to look like it. Plus, the price factor also breaks some typical self-imposed illusions of being a chosen member of some semi-secret class of penniless bohemian intellectuals, engaged in cultural guerilla warfare on the back line of a grand army of philistine en-pee-see bougies, that so many younger members of /pol/-for-smart-people seem to be under. These are quite hilarious idiosyncrasies and I can wholeheartedly recommend skimming through some older shelf threads to find people both accusing someone of buying particular bindings to show off and chastising the others for not having their spines project the required aura of "well-readness" quite strong enough all in a single post.

thanks. yes, i collect other books--have around 25,000 at this point. i used to post in these threads but honestly my collection has gotten large enough that i just lurk here, shill a couple pics here and there, and build threads around the library itself, which is here:
pykewater.com

apart from my PR/ad-job, i'm a PhD candidate in government, so the graphic design stuff grew out of two prongs: 1. experience required in advertising, and 2. an interest in aesthetics and specifically "political aesthetics" that grew out of a much deeper and longer-lasting interest in political theory.

Very good, a bit dry at times (at the end), can read like a science class textbook sometimes when talking about genealogy, you know. The riboflavins and the double helix structures and the mitochondrial DNA shit. It’s mostly about the history of the British isles, then the invasions, migrations, numbers and all that good stuff and then at the end there’s some scientific blah for the real nerds.

Why do you hoard books which you don't even think of reading? Even if you would read 2 books a week for 70 years you will never even get above 7000 books. At this point you also do not have any progeny to inherit them. So, what's the use besides pure hoarding and coonsumerism?

Nah, I'll just wait for better pics. What are your favorites there? I just bought the following (still awaiting arrival):

>Dissecting the Holocaust: The Growing Critique of 'Truth' and 'Memory' - Germar Rudolf
>The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry - Arthur Butz
>The Six Million: Fact or Fiction - Peter Winter
>Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil: Recognize the True Enemy and Join to Fight Him - Gerard Menuhin
It's useful to have a jew saying what believe when trying to convince others.
>The Arctic Home in the Vedas - Bal Gangadhar Tilak
>The Culture of Critique - Kevin Macdonald
>Separation and Its Discontents: Toward an Evolutionary Theory of Anti-Semitism - Kevin Macdonald
>A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy, with Diaspora Peoples - Kevin Macdonald
>The Decline of the West - Oswald Spengler
>Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics - Francis Parker Yockey
>The Passing of the Great Race: or The Racial Basis of European History - Madison Grant
Almost bought another of his works, but figured I could get away with just this.
>Hitler's Revolution: Ideology, Social Programs, Foreign Affairs - Richard Tedor
>The Myth of the Twentieth Century - Alred Rosenberg
>The Third Rome: Holy Russia, Tsarism and Orthodoxy - Matthew Raphael Johnson
>Manifesto for Breaking the Financial Slavery to Interest - Gottfried Feder

>The Programme of the Nsdap: the National Socialist German Worker's Party and Its General Conceptions - Gottfried Feder
>Germany Speaks: By 21 Leading Members of Party and State - Walter Gross, Reinhardt Fritz, Joachim Von Ribbentrop
Alexander Jacob, the Indian translator, is somewhat notorious for his bad translations. I'm hoping these aren't shit.
>Into the Darkness - Lothrop Stoddard
>Rommel: the Trail of the Fox - David Irving
>A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind - Stephen Mitford Goodson
>Hitler for a Thousand Years - Leon Degrelle
Another Alexander Jacob translation.

I really want "Hitler: Born at Versailles", too.
>Hitler's Second Book: German Foreign Policy - Adolf Hitler
Arthur Kemp edition.
>Bechamp or Pasteur? - Ethel D. Hume
>On Being a Pagan - Alain De Benoist
>Hitler's Commando: the Daring Missions of Otto Skorzeny and the Nazi Special Forces - Otto Skorzeny
Did not mean to get this, what I actually wanted was "My Commando Operations: The Memoirs of Hitler's Most Daring Commando". What I ordered is abridged with an introduction by a jew.

I've seen to mayn beautiful libraries in my urban exploration days getting soggy and moldy because the people collecting them had no children. If you don't have offspring, hoarding and collecting such stuff doesn't make sense and could be more pathological, like childless women nurturing "dog babies".

I also been to too many yard sales where old fucks died without anybody to deal with their stuff. They throw everything out and sell your precious leather for pennies and give them away for free just to get rid of the weight.

If you people do not have children, make sure to rear some younglings later on which would like to inherit them. Although his softcover selection doesn't look that rare or costly as to be of an worth. Plus, nobody got space for 25000 cheap and mass produced books which he would never read. I think a max 5000 book strong high quality collection is far better. On average 150-200 hardcovers fit into one big shelf, which means that you still would need a library of 25 bookcases.

There aren't 25000 books worth reading, concentrate on quality rather tan quantity. 5000 is much more than enought. I'm pretty certain most people on here would have a difficult time to even point to 2000 works worth reading.

Your mix of ignorance, criticism, and confident universalizing leads me to believe you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about
There are absolutely 25k books “worth reading”, depending on what you consider worthwhile or what you are looking to research. Given how much has been produced, 25k is hardly anything.

Just because most anons cant list 2000 good books—like you—doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It just means you’re extremely limited in what you consider to be worthwhile knowledge.

It’s also clear you’re just resentful and jealous. It’s ok, i am too.

I do wanna get some of his stuff. Especially "The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit".

What do you think of Jone's colleague Jonas E. Alexis? He has a book out called "Zionism Vs. the West: How Talmudic Ideology Is Undermining Western Culture". He's currently working on a book criticizing Kevin Macdonald's worldview. The catholic wing of antisemitism has some great stuff, but not being Catholic myself I find they'd be better suited focusing on history.

I have over a K of my own high quality editions of books, mostly classics. I have yet to meet a library worth mentioning on here, let alone of my jelousy. Just buying shit on quantity and calling it a library without the abbility to ever currate their content is pathological. Nobody will not read more than 10.000 books in your whole life. It is much more usefull to have a high quality selectio which you and your offspring can actually use. From what he showed from his 25K collection, it's far away from quality, basically only buying whatever book he can find on any given topic by title. Not only that, you doesn't even give enought fucks about their survival as to buy proper bookcases. As I said 25 Bookcases are hard enought to fit somewhere and than we're only speaking about 5K books. And you want your collection to be able to fit into a smaller space, so that if your family falls on bad times, it wont be simple thrown away or sold. That's coming from experience, not envy. At a certain point books become no more than collectable porcellain dolls for the futur generations, a gaudy fetish to be disposed off. And you don't want your heritage to be seen as that. Quality will always supersede quantity, which is mainly there for looks at that point.

Don't act out like a beatn dog to facts.

I do too, My lists is around 3000 books long, additionally to the 1000 I already have. While my list is getting longer, the interest field becomes smaller and more specific. At some point this specialisation won't be of any value to people not exactly interested in the exact same stuff, which is practically impossible, which will lead to their disposal. I would consider my classics as well as my political section to be the only ones which will be given on as they are both highely research as well as rare and dying out in our current climate. But only listing them I will surely not surpas 2K.
