Why I Love Folio Society! The Best Special Editions On The Market

[@TheFolioSociety]

Thank you so much for your kind words about our collector's editions and our customer service team - we will let the latter know about your great feedback!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I appreciate everything that your company does

[@skeller61]

I’m surprised The Folio Society didn’t mention it in their comment, but all their books are sewn and use acid free paper.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

One of the many reasons I love them

[@theromanwanderer8923]

I just got Dune and Dune Messiah from them. I hope to get Children and God Emperor in the near future! ❤

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Oh man when Children drops in gonna be all over that

My dad has been collecting Folio Society books for about 20years now. He has literally hundreds of them and they're all beautiful. My own collection is more modest at about 20 (so far). Still the favourite books I own are the Lord of the Rings set that my dad bought me for my birthday many years ago

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

That is amazing! His collection isn’t be a marvel to see!

[@01rcpena]

Great company. I've got all of Cormac McCarthy's books offered by Folio in my basket. I'm still trying to hit that "Buy" button!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

[@EndaliasTreasures]

With the latest releases, my Folio Society wishlist has grown so much!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I am in the same boat

[@holeyheartedmelissa4503]

I just went to a huge used book sale, and found a Folio Society book with slipcase about Leonardo da Vinci. It's in amazing condition, and I got it for $4. I was going to make it a Christmas gift but I think I'll keep it. 😆

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

You should 100% keep it!

[@BookishChas]

They have so many nice editions! I definitely have my eye on Dune and Dune Messiah. I also want Dracula, A Christmas Carol, and Neverwhere. Too many nice ones and not enough moolah lol. I do wish they would do Hyperion Cantos. I would be all over that.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

My dream one that they would do is Drenai saga. I would be all over that

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Both fantastic book companies.

[@BrianBell7]

Ok I’m sold. I’m going to hit their website this week and select a favorite. Torn between a book that I already own like Dune versus a premium edition of something I don’t. The wizard is casting a BuyBook spell on me. Must be at least an Underlord.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

:) I hope you end up with something you ❤️

[@MattonBooks]

I've had my finger on the trigger for those 2 Dune editions since Messiah dropped, and you pushed me over the edge. BOOM. Ordered. Your kickback cheque from TFS should be in your mailbox soon. 😜

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Lmao 🤣 if only! I plan on getting messiah here soon

[@julio7787]

The Shining is available again on the Folio Society website

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I saw! I’m super excited for he decided to do it. It didn’t seem like they where going to

[@WordsinTime]

I have 4 books from Folio and I love them all! (Frankenstein, Ubik, Childhood’s End, and Cat’s Cradle) Although I think I would prefer it if they were all the same height haha

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@WordsinTime lol that’s the 1 thing that irks me is they are all different heights

[@arlissbunny]

Yes! I’ve been patronizing Folio Society for a long time. My personal favorite is their edition of Neverwhere. I’m with you, I want those Christies and Christmas may finally be the time for those. What I really need from them though is a reprint or new set of the Poirot short stories. A new three book set would be perfect. My one complaint, the ultra high end edition they did if Beowulf is incredible but couldn’t they have also released an edition, in line with their standard quality, for the rest of us?

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I agree with everything here! I would instantly buy the Poirot short stories set

[@Araanor]

The size difference for siplay is also the only thing that bugs me about them. having a uniform book collection is just so satisfying

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I agree that the size difference is a small drawback for sure

[@geoffreyjohnson3626]

I love the books, my only problem with FS is that I think they employ geographical pricing essentially charging people more for the same product based on where they live. I see that they divide their website into versions with pricing that varies by location. I'm not aware of other British companies that do this. I'm not sure that it can be argued that the difference is for shipping, since that is charged separately. I like the idea of charging all customers the same price. A teacher who buys an FS book in Canada should not have to pay more for the same book purchased by a member of the House of Lords in Britain.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I do think that is a problem as well. One that I was not aware of. Their shipping is eye-watering and expensive. I Love the books though

[@ceeece]

Great video and great taste in books! I like hearing about the quality and detail and size discrepancies. I have lurked the FS for so long. I can’t get myself to get any yet due to the cost. I know the quality justifies it but I can get 3 books for the price of one FS. You should pick up Jurassic Park and The Lost World!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I’m glad you liked the video! I have considered getting Jurassic park a couple of times. I think I want to get The ASOIF collection next but I’m not sure

[@EstoNoEsUnSpoiler]

Such an addiction, aren't they? I bought my first folios back in 2016 when they still had a physical store in London, and haven't looked back ever since. Secondary market is nuts: you can get books for chips but you can also get crazy prices like The Shining or the Ishiguro books not in print. May I suggest The Book of the New Sun? The current edition they have is not as high quality as the Limited they sold when Wolfe still lived (and which I would have bought if I had read the book back then), but it's beautiful and it's the same artist from Dune.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I have been having my eye of earthsea and on Howls Moving castle! They used to have a physical store. That is so cool. I wish I could have seen it

What are their shipping costs like to the US. Been thinking about getting some, but I know they’re UK based, so don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for shipping.

Shipping isn’t cheap about $10 per book
