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.

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.
@PetrikLeo6 ай бұрын
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.
