Lovely editions all. I was on the fence about Song of Achilles until I saw your copy and clicked those three dangerous words: add to basket. Thanks for sharing the passage from Earthsea. I remembered disliking LeGuin's narrative voice in that series, but your reading made me reconsider. It's amazing what 20 years can do to reading tastes!
I have the Wizard of Earthsea Folio and it's really spectacular. Tombs of Atuan is my favourite in the series and I can't wait to be able to pick that up too 🐈⬛
LOL. I have an OCD issue with the standard edition of Castle, although I did consider the limited edition, which corrects the problem. But I held off. :-)

YES! Although of course that's subjective. :-) And "ugly" might be the wrong word. Perhaps "aesthetically unpleasing to my personal tastes" would be more accurate.
Thank you for the video, love seeing the FS editions. That song of Achilles in particular looks stunning.
You're very welcome. Yes, it's a very lovely book. Hope they do Circe as well ... although my checkbook probably thinks otherwise. :-)
Those are some great first paragraphs! Folio Society did a great job with those two editions 🧡
Uh oh, looks like I had another witty response disappear. Insert witty response here. :-)

Ah, sorry to make a ding in your bank account. But I think you'll really enjoy Folio's Song of Achilles. Cheers!
I like the first paragraphs. Those look great!
Those editions are very welcome additions. :-)

The We Have Always Lived in the Castle Folio is absolutely lovely too !!

So happy they did such a beautiful job with those beautiful books!

Has Folio ever made an ugly book?
YES! Although of course that's subjective. :-) And "ugly" might be the wrong word. Perhaps "aesthetically unpleasing to my personal tastes" would be more accurate.
