  • Hi, everyone! Today I'm glad to share with you an unboxing of a gorgeous Folio Society Limited Edition. This copy of Hansel & Gretel and Other Stories is a facsimile illustrated by Kay Nielsen. It is so gorgeous... Sorry for not even recording a voice over. The images will speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy!
    BTW, I ordered this book and it arrived within 8 days! I don't know what kind of sorcery was that but I loved it. I guess Limited Editions will be my path to bankruptcy lol

    And that, everyone, is what we can call “book porn.” Way to make everyone who watches this lust after this limited edition. Truly, a piece of art. Beautiful typesetting, illustration, and construction.

    After looking at your bookcase, I finally bought another bookcase myself. My books which were just piled on on top of one another are now nicely presented, all vertical and instantly accessible. This video makes me want to buy more folio society books, but I'll need a third bookcase for that :O

    I wish I could go back in time and show this edition to the brothers Grimm. What an absolute unit of a book.
    I was surprised to see that it's still available on the FS website nowadays albeit being a LE.

    Hmm interesting that they don't take advantage of the full page.

      @pranveramulgeci5242 Před 4 lety +3

      I guess that's because they want to create the illusion the book is big to justify the price.

  • @laurasillustratedtreasures7789

    Oh wow, how amazing! Such a beautiful book and video.

      At Abebooks.com they sell used folio books in good to excellent condition and they cost much less.

    Hmm, it's too big. I think a smaller size would have felt more premium

    Do you actually read all of these beautiful books? Why two copies of Jane Eyre?

    • @BookCravings
      @BookCravings  Před 6 lety

      Sanchordia of course I read them :) And yes, I have many copies of the same title because it’s a collection I’ve been building.

      Thanks! Sometimes it is hard to keep up when you are buying books faster than you can read them...! :)
