Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell | Folio Society | Magicians, yes...but more importantly, Gentlemen.

What's up! This production from Folio Society is truly magnificent! This is Susanna Clarke's wonderful story of magicians, the fae, top hats, and libraries full of books on English magic - what's not to love! Oh - did I mention fully illustrated by a modern master - Charles Vess?!? Oh - and a brand new introduction from another modern master - Neil Gaiman!?! This thing just can't miss!

Thanks for unboxing and giving lovely in-depth views of these masterpieces, as always, keep it up! 🙂

As someone in the US I totally agree that you gotta purchase folio books in bulk to save on shipping

[@KH-we8eb]

As someone not in the US, it's the opposite for us. You pay the same amount of shipping per book as if you ordered them separately - and then you run the risk of having to pay customs if the order total is over $100.

​@@KH-we8eb That's hilarious that it is the exact opposite

At some point you should get the new Folio Gormenghast set - it is absolutely stunning.

@@keithhealing1115 I did get the older set - with the black and white ink illustrations. I absolutely love those!

@@TheWanderingZhoop was that with Peake's illustrations?

Hey, great video! Is it okay to recommend to you to get a better video camera? Even though it's 4k, but seems like the bit rate is not high enough and overall the image is not "crisp". With a much better camera it would be more pleasant to watch and enjoy your videos.

[@TheWanderingZhoop]

Thanks for the feedback! Alas, I am just using my iPhone to record for now. Maybe Santa will bring me a better camera this year :)

[@PierreLeSang]

@@TheWanderingZhoop I hope that he will!

[@TheWanderingZhoop]

Got a new camera recently! Hopefully the new videos will be a better quality!

@@TheWanderingZhoop hey! Congrats! I'd like to see more from Grim Oaks and Folio Society from you :)
