Unboxing A Clash of Kings & A Storm of Swords Folio Society Edition | Special Edition Review

[@TheFolioSociety]

Thanks so much for your absolutely wonderful unboxing video, Petrik! We're delighted that you loved both of these ASOIAF editions.

[@PetrikLeo]

You're so welcome! THANK YOU so much for making my goal of completing A Song of Ice and Fire collection closer now! :D

[@zo7034]

Yo, could yall do the other ASOIAF world books, eg Fire and Blood etc? Maybe even a big coffee table books like world of Ice and Fire Thanks

[@bellamin4549]

Every now and then I’ll walk past my bookcase, pull a folio society book out and smell it. Instant stress relief 😂

[@PetrikLeo]

Hahaha! I feel seen. I do this, too. 😂

[@ZOMGfantasy]

Those are such beautiful versions of two of the greatest books ever written! What an honour to own them! Congrats Petrik, well deserved! And as always, i love seeing your excitement over fancy books 😁

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! The first three books in A Songol of Ice and Fire are all terrific. I'm glad I own the ultimate edition of them! 😄

[@mikesbookreviews]

Wow! Nice. I still only have the first two because Storm of Swords is soooooo expensive. And that's before the shipping cost to the US.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Mike! Still feels crazy Folio Society contacted me to send me these. I know what you mean, though. The shipping fee and the taxes to my place are brutal. I have to pay (in total) an extra payment of $100 on top of the books if I buy something from Folio.

I just received my GOT from Folio Society two days ago and it’s gorgeous in person. Folio society also operates as an employee ownership trust so it was a no-brainer for me

[@PetrikLeo]

It is so worth it. Pictures can't beat seeing and feeling the books in person!

[@giants8585]

That’s awesome, congrats! Love these. Sometimes it’s nice to have access to these special editions and not making them limited. I just need the dance of dragons set.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Christian! That's my thought, too. Not everything has to be limited! :)

[@brokenredflag]

My day was going well and you just made it beter😊. This is one of my favoret videos you make. Thank you folio! Their must be nothing like reciving a special edition of one of your favoret books as a gift😊. Take care petrick. 🫰🔥

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! Glad the video improved your day! 😊

[@mythologypress9470]

The happy look on your face makes this video so fun to watch, even without the book, lol. -Palmer

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Palmer! I am genuinely happy over receiving special editions like this, especially when it's some of my favorite books. I will treasure them! :)

[@panienkashy]

Omg, I loved this so much! 'Messy' is best, haha. I loved your enthusiasm, it was palpable and it was pretty much how much I'd behave. :D

[@PetrikLeo]

Haha, thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that! :D

[@fantasyfanatic6038]

Wow, that is such an amazing and thoughtful gift! These books are just stunning! 🙌

[@PetrikLeo]

I know right!? I can't believe I have them! 😄

[@EstoNoEsUnSpoiler]

Congratulations Petrik. Truly deserved for someone so earnest and enthusiastic. Yesterday I received a used copy of Folio’s 2006 Treasure Island edition and it’s so beautiful. If you have the chance try to get a Neverending Story: an astounding edition. Also, now out of print but very beautiful: The Once and Future King

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! I've seen their edition of Neverending Story. It's super beautiful. I probably will have to read the book first before deciding to spend money on it, though! Glad you secured a copy of Treasure Island Folio Society Edition! :)

[@esmayrosalyne]

Those editions are stupidly gorgeous! Can't blame you for being totally lost for words, haha. Enjoy those treasures!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, my friend! I was left speechless. Still am!

[@KellyannMitchell]

Petrik, you were giddy like a kid in a candy store doing this unboxing 😂 It is truly a stunning Edition! Folio never disappoints 🙌 Thanks for sharing this experience with us

[@PetrikLeo]

Haha! It feels soooo crazy that Folio sent me these. Not only that, I am blessed with very kind supporters. 🥲 Thank you for watching the video!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Pardon me while I pick up my jaw off the floor! Congratulations, Petrik -- just beautiful!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you Philip! Also, I will read Return to Edan next month! :D

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much for watching! It means a lot that the video brought you some joy, too! 😊

[@lethentucker]

This is so wholesome. I love seeing how excited you are. Your information on the Folio Society is also extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad the information I shared was helpful too. I'll try to share more someday!

[@gryftkin]

Philip makes me look underdressed... Petrik makes my bookshelf underdressed :D

[@PetrikLeo]

HAHAHAHA. Good one!

[@dougjohnson5863]

I placed an order with folio around Christmas and Greta packaged my order and she did a great job packing my order!!!! Shout out for their packaging department!!! It's so important to us the books come in good condition especially when we spend so much on a special edition!!!! They deserve alot of credit for ensuring that happens!!!!

[@PetrikLeo]

Yayyy!! Well done, Greta! I definitely agree with you, though. Their packaging are superb. No damage at all to the books. I'm just confused why my copies of A Song of Ice and Fire were inserted into the slipcase upside down! 😂

[@maria5988]

Seeing your joy is just as great as seeing these beautiful books. So happy you received these!

[@PetrikLeo]

Aww, thank you so much! I am happy to hear that! :)

[@safinan8008]

Wow 😯 looks amazing!!! 😊

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@hannahbrennan2131]

I have the A Game of Thrones and the A Clash of Kings Folio Society editions and I'm planning on eventually getting the rest.

[@PetrikLeo]

Yay! Take your time completing the set. It helps that we are not in a rush to complete the set! 😂

[@JackSte]

They look so good 🔥

[@PetrikLeo]

They're AMAZING!

[@SciFiScavenger]

Score!! What a lovely gift, and your joy is very evident. Very nice. 👍

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you very much! I feel so fortunate to acquire this! 😄

[@book_scent]

Awww, I'm so happy for you, Petrik!! 😃 The Folio editions are truly stunning, I've been eying them for years ... maybe one day I'll be able to afford them! 🤓🤞

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you very much, Karin! I hope you will be able to secure a copy someday. It's good that their edition is always reprinted! :)

[@destiniebustamante-leroux437]

I love how excited you are. It made me smile 😊

[@PetrikLeo]

Glad the video made you smile! I'm truly happy to own these books! 😄

[@tasosalexiadis7748]

Folio Society originally did a limited edition of the Book of the New Sun in 4 volumes, two years before the current version. The limited edition version has much higher quality. The volumes are 3/4 bound in buckram, front piece in cloth and the slipcase is bound in cloth and internally it has a mirror paper. ASOIF doesn't have any limited editions from Folio Society.

[@PetrikLeo]

Yeah, but that limited edition version of Book of the New Sun is impossible for me to analyze now! :D I can't know how different they are from one another. It is true that ASOIAF does not have any Folio Society limited editions, but limited doesn't mean the overall quality is better.

[@tasosalexiadis7748]

@@PetrikLeo I own a copy of the BOTNS limited edition from Folio Society. It is excellent :). Moreover the paper quality is different from the standard edition of BOTNS from Folio. It is textured.

[@demiurgicgeek]

Such a dream come true! So happy for you Petrik! These are stunning editions. Living in SEA too, it really is very expensive considering the shipping and customs fees! I hope to get my hands on them someday.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! You live in SEA, too?? You know my pain then. The shipping and custom fee can be so damn brutal sometimes!

[@k2u364]

You own almost a completed set now 🎉 congratulations! I just completed mine in December and I’m so happy I did folio is doing amazing work

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! Congratulations on completing the set. I will do my best to complete the set, too!!!

[@tiffanycorsello1886]

Wow! These are beautiful editions! I'm considering them now for Christmas this year- maybe... ooof, pricey. But so lovely! Your 'ta-daaa' never fails to make me smile :)

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Tiffany! 😊 Imo, only get these if you think of the series very highly. They are not cheap to collect!

[@DanielsBookNook]

These are beautiful, I’m so happy for you! I’m currently reading the series for the first time, and I’m on book three. Loving it so far. I have the box set of the paperback editions

[@PetrikLeo]

For the first time? Amazing! A Storm of Swords is a masterpiece! :)

[@readbykyle3082]

Absolutely amazing. So beautiful looking! Congrats Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Kyle! These will be the editions I use for my 2025 ASOIAF reread! :)

[@BookishChas]

Wow, these are so gorgeous! What a lovely gift. I love Folio books, but so far only have one. I purchased A Christmas Carol last year.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Chas! I am blessed to have four Folio Society editions now! 😊

[@djsuth7727]

They are lovely editions to own ( I have all 5 ). Glad you enjoy them, Petrik !

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you! And wow, you have all 5!? That's amazing!! :D

[@cipriansirbu3699]

I'm very happy for you. I own all five and they are really worth it. Slowly I collect the James Bond collection,currently I have 3 😅. Happy readings.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Ciprian!! This edition is among some of the best. They're expensive but I can understand why. 😄

[@rumi885]

Wow!! Beautiful books! Congratulations Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@Uppernorwood976]

These books are ridiculously elaborate. So expensive, but man are they high quality!

[@PetrikLeo]

Exactly!! Ever since Book of the New Sun, I feel like with Folio Society, their prices are always on point with their quality. :)

[@puzzlingread]

That red cover of SoS is beautiful. Enjoy! 😊

[@PetrikLeo]

I totally agree. The color really pops! 😍

[@GentleGiantJason]

I think I will have to get them.

[@PetrikLeo]

If you're a fan of ASOIAF, they're worth it!!

[@liviajelliot]

Those are among the best editions of any book (perhaps sans Dune) that I have seen. Serious FOMO, but they're too expensive for me. Enjoy!

[@PetrikLeo]

Yeah, I think it is well-known their edition of ASOIAF and Dune are their best so far. They are certainly expensive, though. With shipping fees and taxes, for me, it is so expensive to get them! 😂
