 Hey guys, welcome back to come again TV the only place on YouTube. We're all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and today on the show. We're taking a look at a book haul Slightly out of the ordinary for this channel, but as I've said before this is come again TV. We're all geek culture collides and of course we have some book geeks out there, so Let's get into it last Wednesday was my birthday. So the wife and I went to Springfield To Barnes & Noble picked up a bunch of books Got a few that were on sale the first of which was The autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard the story of one of Starfleet's most inspirational captains Edited edited by David A. Goodman Now I know what you're thinking Jean-Luc Picard is a fictional character. How can it be an autobiography? Well There's another one similar to this about Kirk. It's supposed to be in universe kind of So we'll leave it at that It's pretty good so far. I'm on chapter two currently and see My bookmark there is actually a Cub Scout patch and Wanted to show you some of the pictures in here. We have Jean-Luc and his brother Jean-Luc and Wesley Crusher's dad Jean-Luc as a Young Starfleet officer got the crew of the Enterprise D Jean-Luc and Mark Twain then Jean-Luc when he's old and Then Got the Borg and plans Cardassians keeping up with the Kardashians and then the wedding invite for Jean-Luc and Beverly Crusher Pretty cool. There's a look at the back very nice now I Picked up Let's do this in order because There's a book and two of its sequels so the first of which The three musketeers by Alexander Alexander Dumas Dumas, sorry introduction and notes by Barbara T. Cooper I've been wanting to read this for a while now. I I've watched the movie a long time ago along with the musketeer and I love the man in the iron mask Movie as well so This was I've been This was one of the books that we specifically went to Springfield for I'm really glad they had it as you can see there's the thickness There's the back Very nice and then there was another sequel to it They had there that I didn't get because I had already spent enough money. It was called the Red Sphinx or something like that blood sinks something like that. I may get that later but I also got 20 years late after Alexander Dumas Which takes place 20 years after the events of the three musketeers just that Also got The man in the iron mask I've been wanting to read the novel for quite a while. As I said, I'm a big fan of the movie So yeah, I mean Just look at the thickness of these books Here's the back there Can't wait to get into them But right now I am working on the autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard now. That's not all though No I also got The story of King Arthur and his knights by Howard Pyle I had read the graphic novel Couple weeks ago really liked it. I've always been a big fan of King Arthur So I picked up the story of King Arthur and his knights very nice, there's Caliburn in the salt in the stone Many people think that Excalibur was the sword in the stone. It wasn't the original sword in the stone was actually broken It was King Arthur's first sword and then the lady of the lake his true love Gifted him Excalibur so There's the back very nice and then we've got three more books I'll say the best for last one of the best for us we have I Ripper by Stephen Hunter based around Jack the Ripper I've been a student Researcher of Jack the Ripper since my freshman year of high school We got to do a report on any historical figure and I naturally gravitated towards Jack the Ripper So I did that report freshman year of high school for English class and I've just been Researching him ever since Even eventually I will come up with my own theory of who Jack the Ripper really was You know right now. I'm just taking in all the evidence all the Everyone else's theories comparing them and trying to decide for myself There's the back There's the side very nice we've also got scriptures sacred writings of the world's religions by Arturo Marcelo Pascal I Have been a student of Religion for most of my life. I am a Christian In fact, I'm a united Methodist, but I enjoy learning about all Different types of religions around the world I Also enjoy learning about the lost Gospels The lost Testaments the all that they didn't make it into the actual Bible So this was a nice find for me. It was $5 at Barnes & Noble Jack I Ripper was about $10 They were marked both marked down Very nice Set that over there along with these two and then finally one that was Marked down quite a bit Originally priced for $50 It was then marked down to 1899 and Then finally it was marked down again to about $10 when we were there The ultimate visual history of Ghostbusters For those of you who don't know I am a huge Ghostbusters fan Have been all my life I was looking through this on the way home from Barnes & Noble very nice book Can't wait to get into it and read everything There's a lot of Nice stuff that they included in this they did not incorporate the 2016 Ghostbusters answer the call They only Incorporated the original franchise The original Ghostbusters Ghostbusters 2 Got some little booklets Storyboards for Ghostbusters They also included the real Ghostbusters and extreme Ghostbusters as well as Ghostbusters video game That's some nice stuff there Some behind-the-scenes pictures Very nice Some sketches for different kinds of ghosts Preview card Here's some pictures for the poster See here Ghostbusters 2 They even had Slime thrower Meant to go into a projector concept art for slimer Very nice stuff.
