    I’m surprised The Folio Society didn’t mention it in their comment, but all their books are sewn and use acid free paper.

    My dad has been collecting Folio Society books for about 20years now. He has literally hundreds of them and they're all beautiful. My own collection is more modest at about 20 (so far). Still the favourite books I own are the Lord of the Rings set that my dad bought me for my birthday many years ago

    Yes! I’ve been patronizing Folio Society for a long time. My personal favorite is their edition of Neverwhere. I’m with you, I want those Christies and Christmas may finally be the time for those. What I really need from them though is a reprint or new set of the Poirot short stories. A new three book set would be perfect.
    My one complaint, the ultra high end edition they did if Beowulf is incredible but couldn’t they have also released an edition, in line with their standard quality, for the rest of us?

    • @AndrewsWizardlyReads

    They have so many nice editions! I definitely have my eye on Dune and Dune Messiah. I also want Dracula, A Christmas Carol, and Neverwhere. Too many nice ones and not enough moolah lol. I do wish they would do Hyperion Cantos. I would be all over that.

    Ok I’m sold. I’m going to hit their website this week and select a favorite. Torn between a book that I already own like Dune versus a premium edition of something I don’t. The wizard is casting a BuyBook spell on me. Must be at least an Underlord.

    Great video and great taste in books! I like hearing about the quality and detail and size discrepancies. I have lurked the FS for so long. I can’t get myself to get any yet due to the cost. I know the quality justifies it but I can get 3 books for the price of one FS. You should pick up Jurassic Park and The Lost World!

    Such an addiction, aren't they? I bought my first folios back in 2016 when they still had a physical store in London, and haven't looked back ever since. Secondary market is nuts: you can get books for chips but you can also get crazy prices like The Shining or the Ishiguro books not in print.
    May I suggest The Book of the New Sun? The current edition they have is not as high quality as the Limited they sold when Wolfe still lived (and which I would have bought if I had read the book back then), but it's beautiful and it's the same artist from Dune.
