Beowulf - Limited Edition | Folio Society Reviews

[@user-nq1qw9xd7i]

Thank you, Pontus, for paying such meticulous attention to the presentation of the book and the images. I worked for a year to make the illustrations, and so it's most heartening to see them beautifully and sympathetically filmed, complete with mood-drenched music. From what you say in the commentary you seem to be enjoying this edition, and that makes me very happy to know. I loved making it.

[@PontusPresents]

Thank you for the message, Clive! Made my day! I’m extremely happy with the edition and I’m so thankful for the time and effort you and the Folio team have put into this book!

Wow, I'm so happy that I followed this comment to your account. Awesome animations. I'm surprised the edition hasn't sold out yet.

[@hedgiecc]

Absolutely gorgeous. But the price! I can only dream

[@martinkirsch5969]

Beautiful. Sadly I can't afford this edition but at least I have this video now😅Thanks!

[@PontusPresents]

Thank you too!

@@PontusPresents I really like your channel by the way. Great content.

I’m glad you like my videos! ☺️ Appreciate it!

What a beautiful book 😍

[@PontusPresents]

It really is!

[@user-xj3yo1wi3f]

Thank you for the detailed review! I’m really tempted to get this one but just not so uncomfortable with the price😅 but I really like the artwork and the translation seems really good! Very understandable for nonnative-speakers and doesn’t lack the rhythmic style as well!

[@origamicaptain5664]

Did you ever make the second video?

[@Fierylunar]

It looks like a nice edition, though I am wondering how it compares to the fine edition from a couple of years ago. Looks like that had fewer full page illustrations but a more "complete" look with page top and page bottom borders throughout .

[@Steamforger]

A really fantastic video, Pontus! Thank you for the detail - did you end up buying this or is it a review copy you were sent by Folio Society?

[@PontusPresents]

I’m glad you liked the video! All books on my channel are purchased (unless I state otherwise in the video) :-)

[@Steamforger]

@@PontusPresents Love your videos man! You have such an awesome collection - hope you keep going :)

[@Pessoa1985]

Thanks for this. I'm still on the fence. Do you think it's worth the premium when compared to the standard edition? 600 pounds is a lot just for the leather around the book.

[@NZAnimeManga]

£600!?! Crikey...

[@PontusPresents]

This book is definitely more than just the leather. But I’m sure the fine edition Folio published before will be enough for most people. I bought this one because I have sold other limited editions that I owned. I will share my thoughts on this book in an upcoming video after I have read it through fully!

[@hedgiecc]

@@NZAnimeManga £625 to be exact!

[@javio3086]

It is a nice edition, but I do believe the 2010 editions looks much better style-wise. Specially taking into consideration the price difference

[@PontusPresents]

I prefer the unique style of this edition (and as a Swede, especially the binding 🇸🇪😉), but the price is definitely the worst part!

[@javio3086]

@@PontusPresents Makes also sense, since Beowulf is a price of the Geats from Sweden haha

[@Sams911]

I know you put out a video that you are tired of your Folio books, or something to that effect... so are you going to sell this one? or is this still a keeper?
