Don’t see many videos about these books. Desert Spear is my favorite of the series. Like you mentioned the character arcs are great. Beautiful edition there with the wards.

Amaranthine Books vs. Folio Society - hard to choose!!!

Awesome book

Jesus H. Christ you manhandle those books like they are bargain basement prices 😮 I am considering investing in one and there is no way I'd even consider bending the page in any way. 😂

Great review of a really cool book!

Folio editions of the dark tower would bankrupt me

Do you know if they restock there books or will I have to buy it second hand if I want it?

I just bought mine it’s brilliant

Very very very cool. And thank you for relocating the knife. 😂 Looked like a few times you were close to knicking your hand/finger(s).

Cool to see your first video. Love watching your book reviews.

Hey thanks for shouting out the Freaks group! We always have a good time over there! Great video, I’m glad I found your channel. Cheers!

Duma key 🤘

Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait for my deluxe edition to ship!

As someone in the US I totally agree that you gotta purchase folio books in bulk to save on shipping

Hey, great video! Is it okay to recommend to you to get a better video camera? Even though it's 4k, but seems like the bit rate is not high enough and overall the image is not "crisp". With a much better camera it would be more pleasant to watch and enjoy your videos.

Thanks for unboxing and giving lovely in-depth views of these masterpieces, as always, keep it up! 🙂

I've been looking at purchasing this edition. Not many of them left. I was hoping someone would do a video showing it in more detail. Subbed!

Absolutely love this book series. Sadly was late to the party and wasn’t able to get the 10th anniversary edition. Might have to try and find it second hand

Are they doing the Malloreon too? And have you read the Elenium, the Tamuli, and Redemption of Althalus? All Amazing!! I recently read the Belgariad to my 8 year old daughter Saphira, and her favorite part is when Garion punches the other boy in the nose and tells him to put snow on it lol. And whenever someone is being spoiled she says they are acting like Cenedra before she got nice ha ha. Sorry for rambling I rarely find people that actually have read the books. Lol So thanks for humoring me. ☺️

SOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!! lol My all time favorite series and author. All of his series are just amazing!!

Yo! Great video. Discovered your channel. Digging through your back catalog of posts.

Love this edition! had to get it as it's such a beautiful and sought after edition from folio society and with the introduction from Seamus Heaney shortly before his death too. Also me being from Northern Ireland where he was born was just another reason i had to have this in my folio society collection.

The book feels like Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows with a Five Nights at Freddy’s twist

Great book! Super glad I bought this before prices got out of hand.

Probably Dunsany's best fantasy ever, and this edition is as gorgeous as it will look. Nobody does it better than Folio.

Looks like a very nice edition!

Cool book, wanted it but too expensive for me

Such a stunning release; congrats on snagging a copy. That Tom Kidd art is gorgeous as ever. I have a couple of books with his illustrations and I can't stop revisiting them. Its great to see another channel that covers collectible book!

Appreciate the video and review. As a long-time fan of Lord Dunsany, I'm not convinced by this limited edition for £375, especially when compared to other standard Folio Society editions. I also own and love the Wind in the Willows volume you showed (£65) but also own other great books such as the Folio Society 3-volume set of Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake; I have the 2011 edition which is profusely illustrated with black & white illustrations by Peter Harding (probably my all-time favourite reading experience) but the current 3-volume set with illustrations by Dave McKean also looks superb and costs £150 (the limited edition 3-volume set of Gormenghast cost £745 which I would argue seems better value than this single volume book). There doesn't even appear to be that that much art in it, so I feel like this book is only 'special' because Folio Society are only selling 500 copies. If FS subsequently release a standard edition for say £80-£100, as they have done with Dune, I would definitely buy it. I love Dunsany and, whilst this looks a nice single volume, I don't think Folio Society have really done him justice with this for £375.

Great book but I added Mylar immediately, the cover looks like it’s prone to wear

I almost passed on this, glad I bought it, great read and book design

How does a mylar cover affect placing the book back into the cover?

I have the graphic novel signed and the blueray signed but those books are really pretty too it's giving me envy lol

What a wonderful book!!

Nice video. Can you pls do a video showing your room/bookshelves? Thanks

Can you please always add a link to where you have bought the back from?

I don't understand people who have never read a book spending hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for a copy. For people like myself who have been reading Dunsany for decades is seems a bit of a slap in the face.

That's actually what I wanted to ask. Can you share your approach and experience with these types of fancy/expensive books? Do you actually read them and enjoy reading them? I've heard that a lot of people read cheap versions and have these expensive ones for display.

Jesus :D It's only out and you have already! 300$+ :)

Bagged myself a copy too. It really is a neat book. And I'm loving the story too having not read it myself prior to receiving this copy!

Thanks man!

Wait until you receive the Deluxe (Numbered) copies of Flowers for Algernon and Treasure Island. They are/will be in the same league as the Deluxe edition of Peter Pan. The impressionistic illustrations for Algernon by Jacob Dhein work beautifully with this tragic sci-fi story and the CVTP edition of Treasure Island contains over 50 (!) exceptional black and white illustrations by Marc Castelli, all printed letterpress, making it the equivalent of a livre d'artiste book. FYI, Castelli did the illustrations for the Chester River Press edition of Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' in 2009 and that book is now considered a modern private press classic, highly sought after by collectors.

Where do you get the money for all of this ? :)

That's still on my top-5 books I've ever read... Wonderful story.

Just bought all 3 cause of this video :D

What wonderful edition and video. Always a pleasure viewing your reviews. Cheers

I love this book and am happy to have my copy! Great video!

Lividian is great! A Child Alone With Strangers is fabulous! I love this.

Surprised you don't have Red and Pleasant Land! You got all the other hits!

OSE, Mork Borg and Runehammer? Good taste :)
