I love this edition, but it just makes me want an edition of the Witcher books, all the current ones are really poorly designed, and you can’t even get a full set of hardbacks. Please make one!
I brought this up on a previous FS video. This is the response: "I'll certainly pass the suggestion onto our editorial team for you!". I agree with everything you brought up. The current paperbacks have very disappointing covers, I love the games but it just does not look good at all. Hopefully FS picks up this series since it has already completed.
@@Riel93 That sounds promising, it would be really cool if they did do one. With the games and TV show coming out, the series is pretty popular, and I'm surprised that some company hasn't already made some kind of special edition. Allot of the non English editions have really nice covers like the Spanish and Polish editions, it's a same the UK and us covers are pretty uninspired.
I've been an FS member for over 20 years, and this is a beautiful production, but I am really hesitant to pull the trigger on this. Martin is in no hurry to complete the series, and I don't want to end up with an incomplete story.
I hear you, then again IMO it's still nice to have such magnificent books.. even if the story never finishes. The story up until this point deserves to be published in an edition like this
I bought my copy of this piece of art, I'm waiting for them so happy, I would like to suggest that would be so amazing an edition of "The Devine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, there are some nice editions out there but the people would be crazy having something like that with this quality of illumination and translated in this edition by Allen Mandelbaum
We have published editions of The Divine Comedy before - you might be able to find a second hand copy through independent bookstores or online auction sites.
@@TheFolioSociety Is there any possibility of a future re-print? The edition seems to be old and really hard to find complete unfortunately, would be wonderful 🤩, thank you so much for the reply 😊
Very happy with my copy, but I only wish the map could have come separately from the books in the slipcase, its like a third wheel next to the books, it just looks so out of place, but fab books regardless!
Dear Folio Society , One minor Flaw I'd like to point out (for me personally)in these books is that they put the Chapter /Character Contents at the Front of the book. One of the most immersive things about reading these books for the first time is that you never know what is going to occur on the next page and you never know what POV we are going to explore next. Putting the Page Number for each Chapter at the beginning of the books spoils a bit of the anticipation and would be better left at the end of the book.
I am sadly a tad disappointed with the Game of Thrones illustrations. I don't think the guy was the right guy. The Dany eating a heart one is just so wrong. He wanted to depict horror, whereas that scene is anything but. It is Dany coming into her own...becoming a Khaleesi. Quite disappointed, to be honest.
Bought it. I would love something like that for the lord of the rings too. The current Tolkien books are nice but they’re not as nice as this.

FS liking these comments is pretty much a confirmation that they are coming =D
If the Witcher is released will be astonishing 🤩, I truly hope that happens 🙏
Damn, that's a gorgeous book!

Didn't Martin say he can be imprisoned to New Zealand until he finishes writing if Winds of Winter are not out by the end of 2020?
@@prototypep4 He did. And with the current situation he's apparently writing a lot.
@@milocibelli5391 reading this comment in 2023 just makes me sad. We may never get book 6 and its almost a guarantee that book 7 will never be written

@@TheFolioSociety I second the reprint of Dantes divine comedy!
Now if they would only do The Wheel of Time . . .
I will pass the suggestion onto our editorial team for you!
@@TheFolioSociety Thank you! It's something I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be interested in.
It would have been nice to get a signed limited edition here too...😞
