It's so funny because, as a Canadian, that is the kind of book binding I like and am accustomed to, but when I got a standard type of UK hardback binding for the first time I thought it was really poorly put together and the fact that the book was so stiff and made creaking noises, and I could see the glue when looking at the top and bottom of the book (as opposed to tailbands) really made me nervous 😂. I really have yet to have any of my hardback books fall apart on me so I'm sure both bindings are fine 😆.
yes, high quality hardbacks should open like that. you can read it with ease, every page opens beautifully. it shouldn't be like the new norm of stiff hardbacks "cracking" loudly when you open them.
I love that the paper is so thin and the book stays open without me having to force the pages apart like a paperback's pages. To me it actually feels like better quality because these editions won't develop a slanted spine after reading them. I wish they used this type more often. 📖📚
I love seeing your face on my feed! Thank you for doing 12 days of Christmas videos :) Praying I'll get pulled off the romantasy waitlist soon. I got the Waterstones SE of this and it pales in comparison to this one!
Sweetheart i love seeing you pop up in my feed. Glad too see you are feeling well and convident enough to do it again. I also love this edition and i think maybe its not poor quality but by design so the book is floppy enough to open far enough to feature the entire celestial design perhaps🤔 what do you think?
Thank you!! It seems like the paper and binding is more like what they do in America, which would make sense because it's an American publisher! I still think it's poorer quality than what we get in the UK 🤣
i wish i was interested in this title bc this edition is so beautiful! fl did such a genuinely stunning job on the entire redesign! if only book boxes could do that kind of redesign on the books that i actually am interested in reading! 😂🙈begging orbit in particular to let book boxes go wild with redesigns for their editions! 🙏
Such a beautiful book! Hope I can find it second hand in the US for not too outrageously overpriced! 😢 Would have loved to see the edges more up close! Not sure if I missed it in the video, but I was only able to see a glimpse of it.
I *love* this book (design) sm! 😭😍 I do get your point of the book being poorer quality but I do like floppy books more as they lay nicely while reading. I haven’t come around to read as many of the romantasy picks yet but I do enjoy this sub and would like to keep it in 2025.
@@Wanderness either in bed (sitting up straight with a pillow in my back and a comfy blanket on my lap that I then plop the book onto) or at my desk. reading in bed is so cozy! 😂
I loved this edition! I haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet. I have actually have enjoyed the romantasy picks the last few months. The hard back design was a dream on this book. I think this book must have one of the more flat boxy spines like I get on my Bookish box and Moonlight book box subs. I have gotten a few books that had to be replaced because the binding came apart.
The dust jacket and endpapers are gorgeous. What a shame that this isn't really my type of book because otherwise I would buy it for that! The quote at the back is interesting, I don't know why but it sounds weird to me.
truly SUCH a phenomenal edition!! I accidentally had myself up to 9 subs (maintained on skips and prayers alone) before cutting down a few months ago, and FL romantasy was one of two subs to make the final cut. the books are very much what i’m into & the artwork just makes it all the better 🥹 can’t realistically see myself cancelling it anytime soon unless they somehow take a massive drop in quality - but i’m predicting some amazing picks from them in 2025! 🎉
I think if you like the books this subscription would be the best subscription ever, their editions are always gorgeous! I struggle just managing 3 subscriptions, 9 is impressive 🤣
It’s soooooo gorgeous!!! Omg I’m so glad Fairyloot is also starting to do printed naked hardbacks it looks stunning 😍 (but at the same time no, cause I can’t have two subscriptions 😭)
That book is gorgeous! I may have to read reviews and see if I can get it second hand. The quality is fine - that's how books are bound in the US and it makes for a much better reading experience :) It's not going to fall apart or rip easily, promise 😁
I have literally just tested by holding one page and giving it quite a wobble and it isn’t moving at all. Those pages are bound in tight but with the type of binding I am sure this is what allows you to have the lay flat experience and if I am not wrong it is a more expensive way of binding books. I am happy to have this checked if you like my lovely xx
This made me laugh 🤣 please don't risk your book!!! The rest of the pages seem stuck in there, but the first page with the map honestly seems like it's holding on for dear life dx
I forgot to even mention that this book is also hand signed by the author!!!

Girl I had been missing your face! So glad to get you 12 days in a row
Omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i second this
Third it!!

Love to see your videos more often!! I dont mind at all!!! I started watching unboxing videos thanks to you. I hope u have lovely holidays!!!
Thank you, happy holidays 💖

As long as it doesn't fall apart I don't really care, although the lighter the book the better for me

The naked hardback is perfection❤❤❤
So good!!
100% agree this is one of the most stunning books I've ever seen, pretty much all parts of it minus the material 🤯
Totally agree!
Feeling so naughty watching this before my book has arrived! But wow it is stunning!
Noooo the suprise is the best part, hope it gets to you safe!!

The book cover is stunning 😍
It really is!

The redesigned cover, sprayed edges, and end pages are so beautiful.
I could never be bored of your face or videos.
Thanks so much 😊

Where do you usually read? For me it's in bed and I hate it but I can't get comfy with a hardback anywhere else 🤣
@@Wanderness either in bed (sitting up straight with a pillow in my back and a comfy blanket on my lap that I then plop the book onto) or at my desk. reading in bed is so cozy! 😂
@@SweeeetLovex3 I would love to be a read at a desk person but I just can't, not cosy enough
That edition is absolutely amazing, I really love it and the hardback is just unbelievable, the best bit and I need it
They've set the bar with this i fear
@ definitely

It is very gorgeous! Love the hardback especially. Here's hoping the story lives up to the outside of the book!
I hope so too!
It's gorgeous! I'm still waiting for my copy!
Hope it gets to you safe 🙏
ive never experienced FOMO
until now
holy moly that's a GORGEOUS book!
I would cry if I skipped this
It's gorgeous!
It’s soooooo gorgeous!!! Omg I’m so glad Fairyloot is also starting to do printed naked hardbacks it looks stunning 😍 (but at the same time no, cause I can’t have two subscriptions 😭)
And the foiling on the hardback AND the endpapers they really ate
I’m the same as you, planning on canceling Romantasy and getting the epic fantasy - but god damn this edition was stunning 😭 Ending on a high though!!
I'm so excited for their epic subscription 😍
stunning!!!
the books okay too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'll be straight on to fairyloot if it does break, any other book I wouldn't be bothered 😂
Also obsessed with this edition 😍
The hardback 🫢🫢🫢
Oh my goodness, the one reason I kept the Romantasy box…shit me!!! Just wow 🤩
I nearly passed out with the end papers and especially the hardcover
This is absolutely spectacular. The book down to the binding I think is why you have the ability to flop the book like that x

I will even film my test and put it online on my bookstagram if necessary

That book is stunning!😮
Isn't it just!!!
I don’t hate that…
Holy cow that inside is spectacular…
The raw footage was over 7 minutes longer because I was just staring at it!!
Like 4
what a beautiful book, shame the actual story is a miss for me
I don't think I'll get round to reading it anytime soon tbh!
This is the mooossty beautiful romantasy they’ve done tho 🥹🥹🥹
They cannot top i fear
