[@MattonBooks]

I assume you, it's SWOIT. 😍

A man that knows his way around a dagger and Folio books👍 new subscriber😂

[@MattonBooks]

😆 Hah! Thanks!

[@YaFeya13]

My son gifted me those beautiful Dune editions for my birthday a few years back ❤️ Enjoy yours!

[@MattonBooks]

Lucky you! 😍

[@Soul-08]

Matt, I love your videos so much! You really got me into lotR, and the way you talk reminds me of my grandpa. Love your content, and hope you’re staying well

[@MattonBooks]

Hahah! I'm *trying hard* not to take that grandpa comment personally. But it's not easy. 😆 But I'm glad you're enjoying it all. And keep an eye out for some LotR content tomorrow. 😉

[@RedFuryBooks]

A Folio Society Book Haul! Gorgeous editions!

[@MattonBooks]

Indeed! I really have to hold myself back and avoid their site for 6 months now. 😬

[@RedFuryBooks]

@@MattonBooks just watch out - they'll send you those catalogs, which always give me the itch to buy more! 😂

[@MattonBooks]

@RedFuryBooks They’ve already started!!😬

[@safinan8008]

Wow!! Like ur special edition books!! Hope ur doing good 👍 too? Happy reading to you!! 🎉

[@MattonBooks]

Thanks Safina, same to you! 😀

[@ExLibrisbyMikeBooklover]

Amazing editions, loved them all!

[@MattonBooks]

Me too Mike! 😃

[@sw3dge]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@andreabknight]

Beautiful books! Love the Dune ones.

[@MattonBooks]

Indeed! They're gooooorgeous. 😍

[@sleestack13]

Very nice! I have been eyeing that "Something Wicked" to go along with the rest of my FS Bradbury collection for a while now. My last FS haul was maybe 6 months ago, and the standouts from that order were Pet Sematary, the newest version of Dracula, and The Neverending Story. That last one was simply stunning.

[@MattonBooks]

It’s very pretty. 😍

[@verosnotebook]

Lovely! Gorgeous editions. Quite tempted by Dune, and have been for a while… I also like their Howl’s Moving Castle, and many more

[@MattonBooks]

Their Dune is 🔥♥️🔥 Can’t imagine you’d regret it.

[@mildrumpus]

Beautiful editions! 😍😍😍

[@MattonBooks]

I know, right? 😍

[@WaterBearReads]

Nice! I have The Princess Bride too and love it. Jealous of your Dune...been wanting that one for quite some time! Cool video!

[@MattonBooks]

Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 And yeah, the FS Dune is gooorgeous. ♥️

[@TheFatesLieutenant]

Impulse buying of books?!? No such thing! Books deserve a good home and you (we) just want to obliged them!

[@MattonBooks]

Hah! I like your style. 😉

[@samuelleask1132]

YooooHOOOOO let’s goooooo

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I love FOLIO!

[@MattonBooks]

Folio loves YOU too! Assuming you’re sending them as much money as I am, that is. 😜

[@BookishChas]

Wow these books are gorgeous Matt! I’ve had the Dune edition on my list for a while, and now I’m tempted to own both of them even though I own the Ace Books editions too lol. I haven’t read the Princess Bride yet, but it’s one of my favorite movies.

[@MattonBooks]

You and me both mate - I’ve been looking at the Dune edition for st least a year now, and the new Messiah edition pushed me over the edge. 😆

[@abrammartinez2914]

great video!💯

[@MattonBooks]

Thanks Abram. 🙂

[@duffypratt]

The Folio Society books are great. I bought a whole bunch of them about 20 years ago (including a beautiful complete set of Anthony Trollope). They seem recently to have concentrated on books as beautiful objects, but that are so nice I would be afraid to read them. Like the fabulous slip cases. The whole point of a slip case is to protect the book. But when the case is so nice, what are you gonna use to protect the case. Anyway, those are some really nice books. I would be tempted to get their editions of The Book of the New Sun, but it’s so much and I would still probably just reread my trade paperback. Oh well. I think my days of getting books as furniture are over.

[@MattonBooks]

Yeah Duffy, I’ll admit I’ve considered buying some white archival gloves for handling these. 😆

[@pickyourpopculturepoison]

I love these - I want the ASOIAF ones!

[@MattonBooks]

Ohhhh god, me too. But if I get one, I have to get them all, and... 😬

[@pickyourpopculturepoison]

@@MattonBooks At least we know there will only be five 😔

[@General_reader]

Remember the rule of safety. Towards your buddy not your nutty.

[@MattonBooks]

Funnily, it actually occurred to me as I was cutting towards myself that it was a bad idea. 😆 Luckily no Matts were harmed in the production of this video.

[@matthewowens1451]

im not into folio society i buy a book cool although i thought they had a cool cover for man in the high castle and no matter what that book wont be sold on amazon so i never buy it..just sharing hhmm books arnt cheap $135 for some illustrations in book princess bride

[@MattonBooks]

Yeah, not for everyone. Either way, enjoy your reading!

[@theromanwanderer8923]

Let’s hope to get Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune! ❤

[@MattonBooks]

Absolutely! 😍

[@liviajelliot]

Goodness, I've been eyeing those Dune editions (which I pronounce in a mix of both, honestly) but never got to buy them--as expensive as gorgeous, honestly. Nevertheless, I've been guilty of staring too long (or too short and impulse-buy) at some books, ha! Sadly, I missed Folio's special edition of Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury D: I can't forgive myself missing on that one!

[@MattonBooks]

Yeah, this was a really poor impulse control month for me. My monthly wrap-up is going to be soooo long. 😆

[@TuftyMcTavish]

📦 Now that’s a pretty s3xy unboxening! And yellow is the best colour 💛

[@MattonBooks]

I wouldn't paint my walls that yellow, but it looks 🔥 on Something Wicked! 😅

[@jeroenadmiraal8714]

Why didn't you get the original Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern? ;)

[@MattonBooks]

I only wanted the good bits.

[@thebigshep]

I've been eyeballing Folio editions for so long, especially the ones illustrated by my man Dave McKean, but I just moved so they're too far out of my budget right now

[@MattonBooks]

Yeah Shep, I feel ya. I wouldn't have bought them a year ago either. 😬

[@Rrynarth]

Have they done Children of Dune in this edition yet?

[@MattonBooks]

Nope, just Dune & Dune Messiah. Maybe one day…
