Loving the bookshelf tour @BookCravings! Your collection is just stunning.
Thank you!
I have a 1950 folio society edition of pride and prejudice, it’s engraved and has beautiful illustrations and the best part was that I found it in a used books bookstore and it wasn’t expensive at all, it’s so pretty 🎀
What a great find! Lucky you! ;)
This was a booklover's dream! SOOO beautiful! 😍
Thank you! My only hobby is collecting and reading these books lol
This is such a clever way of doing a bookshelf tour, wow! Your collection is absolutely enchanting! I like how you are taking your time for each book. Wow, more than one hour of bookshelf tour footage! I'm so excited for this! Love it, love it, love it!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed it =)
a pleasure to watch. thank you very much for sharing!
Yay! I was super looking forward to your bookshelf tour! Such gorgeous Folio Society books!
Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed it!
Wow! One can see that you love your books and that you have great taste. Thanks for sharing.
I do love them! Thanks for commenting!
I was waiting FOR This. You have the most beautiful personal library I've seen 😱😱😱😱😱. You make me want to collect books haha. I'll live through you!
Hahahaha! Thank you! ❤
Uuuugh!!! Loooove this! I gave your shelf a shoutout in my last book shopping video. I came across some beautiful books that I thought you may enjoy! Thanks for sharing, cant wait to see more!
Thank you! I love book shopping videos... I can easily spend an entire watching them lol
War and Peace looks tempting though it is a huge undertaking to read . I hope I read it ...some time in the future.
its not that bad the story is engaging enough to make you want to keep reading and the chapters are short. The only complaint is you have to wade through some of Tolstoy's philosophy on history which he beats you over the head repeatedly . Other than that it has some of the best insights on the human condition I have ever read.
Encouraging insights , I am more inclined to read it .
Mee too! I hope it is as good as Anna Karenina!
I just love these books 💝
l love ths tender loving care
the lady handle's and unpacks the books.

What an amazing collection!I so badly envy yours.I love folio and everyman collections.I have Tacitus and Montaigne of Everyman.I always wanted folio books particularly War and peace and Shakespeare.Unfortunately I could not find folio Tolstoy here in India anywhere ,amazon or otherwise.
My, my, don't we love our books. We were folio members MANY years ago but ran out of room. But thanks for sharing. Most look like they've never been read; you take wonderful care of them.
Lovely collection. I have a few titles I'm interested in: Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes (I'm a big Bradbury fan), The Velveteen Rabbit, and Dune.
Beautiful editions!!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such a lovely collection you have. I know this collection will be cherished for generations.
What a wonderful presentation of these beautiful tomes! I love Folio Society, and I think your presentations of their work are more impressive than those on their own website. They would be wise to hire you to film videos like this for each new release.
Thank you!!
I collect folio too but they really are hit or miss…fehranheit 451 is a good example. Something about it looks tacky. Brave New World and Orwell deserve better too. Folio knocks some other sci fi out of the park though. That Dune is awesome. By far the coolest looking Folio book I have is short stories by Philip K Dick.
i'm sooooooo jealous of you! :'3
Tiasa Ray ☺️☺️☺️
What amazing books! I'm still hoping to pick up Midnight's Children and Slaughterhouse Five before this sale is done! Really want Dune and Lord of the Flies, too!
On a different note, I just picked up this oversized boxed set Lord of the Rings trilogy (ISBN: 9780618260584) with the Alan Lee illustrations for 50% off! So I was planning on keeping it hidden away and only using it as a reading copy, because the dust jackets were just plain hideous. But then I decided to try taking off the jacket, and there was a beautiful clothbound book underneath! With the black slipcase, the red cloth bindings look really pop out and look nice. Anyway, it turned out to work way better than expected. But I'm still . . . slightly jealous about that Folio Society Lord of the Rings.
"boxed set Lord of the Rings trilogy (ISBN: 9780618260584) with the Alan Lee illustrations for 50% off!"
WOW!! What a great deal! I love the FS collection, but the LOTR illustrated by Alan Lee is awesome. I wish I could find it for 50% off!
BookCravings There's still one left, if you're interested!

It looks great on my shelf, and the Alan Lee illustrations are essential. But be forewarned . . . it's glossy paper.
Thank you! This is really tempting... lol
I have signed hardcover copy of Atwood's "Oryx and Crake". Just wanted to show off ;)
I would like to folio society publish the Eragon Books and 'The book of lost things'. Because I think they would make beautiful copies of those books.
So many beautiful books! I like bookshelf tours. I'm curious about your FS The Lord Of The Rings. What version is the text? Is it the same as in the 60th anniversary edition with fully corrected and revised text in collaboration with Christopher Tolkien by HarperCollins or is it some other version?
This edition was released for the first time in the 70s. I believe it contains the third revision, but I'm not sure it's the same released by Harper Collins in the 60th anniversary. I'll try to find out!
I enjoyed your book collection, where do you find these styles of books? In America, we seldom are able to find these.
Hi! I almost always buy them on FolioSociety.com. There are some nice second hand copies at ebay, etsy and abebooks.
Thank you
Sorry I may have missed it but you say Dune is your second favourite cover, what is your favourite?
Thanks 😊
Hi! Little Women is my favorite FS. I think that Dune, when you think rationally, is the best cover, but I love Little Women so much...
These are beautiful but I'm curious about the insides. Do they lie flat when open? What type of paper is it? How is the type size and font? Do they have deckel edges? I think the case for each book would bug me... they are protecting the books but also covering them up and making it more tedious to remove one (not to mention taking up space). I would rather just have the books on the shelf, but I'd be reluctant to toss the cases. (Like some of my books that have ugly dust jackets but the book underneath is nice - I can't bring myself to throw away the dust jacket). Anyway, the outsides are beautiful and the shelves look so nice with one brand on them. I'd love to own just one Folio title... maybe I will search one out. I've never seen one in person. :)
katietatey they all lie flat open and the paper varies. I haven’t seen a Folio book with deckled edges so far. Some people keep them out of their cases.
My edition of Little Women is the older FS edition... very envious of yours. How are the illustrations?
EclecticIndulgence1 the illustrations are amazing! I have a video showing them. It's in the Folio Society playlist:)
Yaaaasss
I love Kiki
😊😊😊😊😊
I’d get these if I had the money and if the War and Peace/Winnie the Pooh one’s were available. I’d buy all of Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers’ books
I haven't read the Hitchhikers’ books but the FS copies look amazing!
finally
Finally! =)
Why not open the books and show inside
I’m all for pretty covers, but I find it a bit odd to buy such expensive books before knowing that you loved each of their written contents.
I totally agree. Nowadays I rarely do that, but at the time I filmed this video I was going through a Folio Society frenzy lol
I'm so jealous...
I used to be a sucker for Folio books and after more than 30 years I've probably collected more than 200 volumes. I've finally stopped buying them for several reasons: (1) the paper is not acid-free. In Singapore where I live, the humidity is 100% and within six months of unwrapping the plastic sheet, yellow dots start to appear! (2) the prices are exorbitant, in expensive English pound sterling, (3) the quality of the illustrations is uneven. The Wizard of Oz has beautiful clearly printed drawings but the Arabian Nights pictures are poor reprints of old artwork. Most of the current titles have weird, grotesque abstract images which may look arty-farty but are not related to the book.
Folio used to be my favorite... Good times. Today I am more interested in other publishers.
how is your bank balance
Yeah.... what you are looking at is in excess of £2500 worth of books. I dread to think how much this set would cost if you were buying outside of the UK.
