that's the reality today. prosecutors and defense lawyers don't argue much anymore about that. they will argue whether or not that miranda rights were waived. so that's what's really happened. we now argue about waiver, not whether we now argue about consequence in ways that i think are central to do process of law. >> you are watching the tv on c-span2 in prime time tonight.

>> i've been collecting rare books for the past 30 years. i decided to relocate after selling my bookshop which also sells new books and in the past ten or 15 years the sales of new books have really suffered with the advent of e-books and everything going digital, but what i found is the interest and rare books has increased. in my shop right now there are about a thousand books. in my inventory there are about 5000 books. i rotate books i specialized in four different areas. i specialize in bibles from the past 500 years, i specialize in early mormon books, classical literature and early american history. i enjoy collecting bibles that belong to historical figures.

i also like to share brigham young's copy of the book of mormon. it is housed in a nice protective clamshell. according to family tradition, this is a copy of the book of mormon that was on his nightstand when he died in 1877. you can see his signature on the title page. i enjoy early american history. this is one of the most important books printed in america. it's thomas paine's common sens sense. it was robert bell on third street in philadelphia. if you go there today you will see a boxing here's where common sense was printed,

1776. it was like. it's quite rare and printed three times in january of 1776. thomas paine went to robert bell wanted to have this printed in one of the proceeds to buy a soldier's mittens. after just three printings they had a falling out. thomas paine allowed anyone to print it for you lower the price and that's one reason the book is so well-known and printed and has the designation of the highest saturation of any book printed in america. my favorite find in the past year is a bible that began to the man who wrote lord of the rings.

i have a nice protective case made for, but he had a very simple bible. it was printed in 1947 in the middle of writing thomas paine allowed anybody to print it and that is why the book is so well known and printed and to this day has the designation of having a high saturation of any book printed in america. my favorite find in the past year is a bible that belongs to the man who wrote lord of the rings which i have j.r.r. tolkien's copy of the bible and i had a nice protective case made for it but he had a simple bible. it was printed in 1947. this was in the middle of writing lord of the rings. he was writing it from 1937-1954. you can see a beautiful, recognizable signature in the front but what most interests me about this book is the fact that he annotated this book and made comments in the margin, you can see he is making comments in greek, comparing it to 7 different versions of the bible, making things with a better transition of this brief, the original greek, and so j.r.r. tolkien's bible, the one he had when he was writing lord of the rings. it is worth over 10 million.

there are a few books worth over 1 million apiece. although i have books as low as in the hundred dollars but that is the starting level for the books that i have. what i enjoy about the rare books is a treasure hunt. findings them. and realizing in these older books they have a different feel, a different look and often a different story depending on who owns the books, some added story within a story. this is the perfect place to keep these books, it is humidity controlled and there is no uv light. this little book has a big story. if you are looking at it you

will see it is in latin and this can be overlooked unless you understand what the symbol is. this little book has a great story, you have to understand the history of this time period, you have to do detective work. to determine who owned this book you look at this, that makes you think loyalty. now you see the fleur-de-lis. this would be a queen's copy. the king at the time was louie xvi. this is the seal of marie antoinette and this, it is in latin. you might not recognize the

bookends may overlook that but if you know what marie antoinette's feel looks like you can identify this, few have survived in private hands because when she was executed her library was absorbed into the french national laboratory. she would have had more than one. this is why she would have given this copy away, and the french national library. finally another fun book i have is a shakespeare book, quite a rare. shakespeare died in 1616. in 1523 his complete works were first printed and then again in 1664, 1685, only 250 of each of these copies have survived so

maybe 1000 copies in the world and the first thousand the vast majority, 90% are officially known, but i have a portfolio, 1685. even before you open the book, you know that book has a story to tell, a stunning binding with working-class. the complete works of shakespeare from 1685 and have it open to romeo and juliet. i will continue to collect books for the rest of my life. i have had people ask me when are you going to retire? what are you going to do? i can't give anything i would rather do than travel around tracking down rare books. i enjoy these books. people ask do you read them? absolutely.

i will go through. you never know if there was an inscription that could substantially increase the value of the book, i will always do this, never get tired of it, i love sharing the story with old and young and i look forward every day. bookshops have been closing in record numbers. they have been closing down. 15 years ago i new owners of 300 bookstores, 250 of those are closed in the past 15 years. it is important for these stores to continue to survive, they had character to the local community, and keeps us history alive while bookshops continue

to be in business. >> now on booktv a literary tour of san bernardino, california. local cable partners time order and charter. in san bernardino we spoke with jamal nassar, dean of the college of social and behavioral science in san bernardino. >> they find terrorism has been around, if we go back to the legend and the holy books, cases are far a
