Dune series experience.

I received all my copies of the currently released Dune series in wonderful condition. Each book, and book sleave, were package with care. The overall books are a wonder to own and the illustrations, binding, and cover art make them all worth owning.

Wow!

Wow, there are two boxes for the Game of Thrones collection, because maybe the new books are very large. But I will not open the boxes until Christmas 2026. It, however, is most unlikely there could be the wrong books! I will look forward to marvelling at the new Game of Thrones collection and reading the books when the time arrives! It is a lot of money, but at least I don't buy a holiday package at the moment! Many thanks for a careful delivery!

Superb Quality

I really love these books. I'm collecting the Fleming Bond series right now and although the price is high you can really see where the money went in the production quality. The slipcases are beautiful with some amazing retro artwork by Fay Dalton. The paper quality used is also key - a nice ivory cream which makes the eyes less tired when reading. My books have always arrived in very sturdy packaging as well so they arrive completely unblemished - a must for any collector. Can't recommend highly enough!

We love Folio Society at our house

We love Folio Society at our house. We are building a collection of our favourite books and the quality of the books is excellent. Highly recommended. Expensive but worth the cost. We LOVED the free book promo!

"Hamnet" arrived 10 days after…

"Hamnet" arrived 10 days after ordering, beautifully packaged with no damage to slipcase or book. The book itself is physically very attractively bound, excellent type face and font size with wonderful illustrations. A real treat to hold and to read!!

Great quality and variety in book

Great quality and variety in book. The delivery to Germany is pricy with the delivery and tax fees, but the beautifully printed and illustrated books enhance the reading experience.
Super fast express delivery, the packaging is "bulletproof" so that all the marvelous books arrived safely.

best of books

Probably the best book "source" in the world. Yes, the books may seem pricey but the quality of the published product justifies this. I have Folio books purchased in the a970's and they are still in perfect condition.

Loving my Folio Books

I have been buying from the Folio Society for over 20 years. The books are always of the highest quality and I have never had a delivery problem. I recommend them to every booklover I know and even to my brother in the USA.

Beautiful

My copy of The Last Unicorn is beautiful and has become a favorite in my collection. It was packaged very well and I look forward to adding more books from them soon.

Every book is a jewel

Every book is a jewel; sheer perfection. My husband got me the limited edition of Moby D—k for my birthday on America’s 250th. He said he wished he’d taken my picture when I opened it. I was that thrilled!
