That Folio Society Elizabeth Gaskell series is a set of five books, you are missing two. 'Ruth' which is by far the rarest of the five titles and is almost impossible to find and 'Sylvia's Lovers' which was comparatively common but I'm not sure what availability is like these days. The Folio Society did print a version of 'Cranford' but it is not part of the same set and looks completely different as it was produced about a decade earlier than the others. I managed to get them all but that was about 8 years ago and I actually got 'Mary Barton' direct from The Folio Society as stock clearance as they had stopped printing them but still had loads left in stock. I want 'I am Legend' and 'The Princess Bride' so badly right now but I am short on cash and critically short on shelf space so I just have to enviously watch other people unboxing them :-(
@BookCravings6 жыл бұрын
Oh, I saw Ruth once on eBay, and now that you told me it is a bit rare to find it I regret not buying it... I thought Cranford was part of the same collection, but I just googled it and indeed the edition is completely different. Btw, I hope more people unbox FS books on KZbin because after this haul I'm officially broke too lol.
@LegendarySquoth6 жыл бұрын
I was hunting for that book for about 6 months and I bought the first copy that I found even though I had to import it from a book shop in Canada (I am in the UK) which was expensive. But you never know, you might get lucky. The edition of Cranford is very different and IMO not as nice as the ones in the set but it is still a very well printed and nice looking book, it is after all a Folio Society product. I thought it was worth getting as it is lovely and as it is an older title it tends to sell for less than the newer ones when it comes up for sale so it was quite a bargain. I hope you enjoy reading the books, North and South was my favourite but they are all great.

Ooh, I like the cover of your Portuguese edition of The Princess Bride 💕 Also, the FS edition of Treasure Island looks like it has wonderful illustrations! I have the Walker Illustrated Classics edition of this which has amaaazing coloured woodcuts by John Lawrence and it very beautiful, but it is also HUGE which makes it a little unwieldy to curl up with to read 😂

@BeautifulBooks6 жыл бұрын
Ha - not trying to suck you into another series just yet ;) They have some fantastic illustrators in the Walker Illustrated Classics series , but some of the books have abridged texts, so you have to be careful. (They are sensitive abridgements, but I usually prefer the complete text if I can find it.) The Treasure Island text is all there though - and I love John Lawrence woodcuts (he has done some lovely work for Folio Society too).

I believe the paper used in WE is very intentionally chosen. It gives the text and the illustrations a more stark black and white contrast than the usual paper and ink used in Folio books illustrated in black and white. This really fits with and illuminates the story. I think it's brilliant. I wrote a little about it on Goodreads after I finished it. Definitely one of the most enjoyable reads I have experienced this year.
@BookCravings6 жыл бұрын
I’ll check your review! I read some complaints about the paper but I enjoyed everything about this edition. Looking forward to reading it!!

Oi! Obrigada! Olha, uma edição de qualidade com todos os livros eu não conheço. Mas a edição da Puffin que tem aqui no canal é vendida avulsa também e é bem bonita. Vi esses dias na Amazon Br uma edição da Everyman’s Library que também é muito legal, mas essa não tenho ainda. Espero que encontre!
