I LOVE the Folio Society. Their Ulysses will always be in my collection. Haven't bought from them in awhile, but I've never been disappointed.

Such Mesmerizing work of all such artists in this video gives me the reason to breathe in today's world which puts forth a crazy demand for doctors, engineers, lawyers, MBAs, IT BPO crowd.
Long live the Artists, Long live the Values of art kept preserved. Amen.

Just discovered your channel, Fish! Binge watching the last few days and enjoying the videos enormously. I am a book collector and an occultist so your content is right up my street. Thank you for creating and sharing your thoughts!

Just bought one of the final copies. I wonder if they'll release it again? Doesn't seem too likely. Anyway, that front cover is fantastic.

I love your book reviews, I also just starting with Barnes and noble and bought my first folio book, Fahrenheit 451, presently waiting. It’s unfortunate shipping costs are so high.

I found out that Easton Press did a facsimile reprint of the originals, bound in leather. They are incredibly good looking but the prices are definitely beyond the average pocket. I may also recommend the B&N Leatherbound edition of "Fairy Tales From Around the World" which is a sort of "best of" from the rainbow series. It is a nice affordable edition with the original illustrations. I'm not sure whether it's still in print but it should be easy to find it in the second-hand market.

Hey FF. Just to let you know - the folio society have a sale on right now of about 130 books. 😊👍🏼

At 1.06min i can see a piano. I play too! Mostly classical. Playing the piano has kept me 'sane' during covid19. Is it a digital piano?

Hello, I am an arabic translator who grew up reading English literature and am currently working on translating all the fairy books into arabic, its really a piece of art, im just not sure if it is in the public domain? also do you know where I can find public domain art for these books?

[Carlo-V.]

by the way ... I think the cloth is a type of sturdy buckram ... Folio used to bind their books with this type of cloth quite often in the past ...

I watched this earlier today and I had already looked at these before but didn't get any. Yesterday I looked for the Penny Dreadful we talked about before to go with my Lewis Carroll from Barnes and nobles but they don't print it anymore. ( I'll find it somewhere) Anyway I just bought this blue fairy book off Esty like 20 mins ago. Barnes and nobles printed it so what I saw in the photos the cover is a little different than yours.

You might appreciate standardebooks.org, they release U.S. public domain books but go over to improve the typography and give them new covers using public domain art works. Be sure to check to see whether they're in the public domain in jurisdiction before downloading.

Folio Society is just too expensive. I wish we had an equivalent of Barnes and Noble in the UK.
