The master and commander series are so fabulous!!! The author makes you feel like you are there!
We're so pleased these finally arrived with you!! Such an amazing haul. We hope you really enjoy them - and best of luck tracking down the rest of the Master and Commander series!
Thank you!!
Love your channel!hope you continue to do more videos! Ciao
0:18 Holy Cow! Knife and book so close to each other - for me out of question!
Beautiful books, I also received a massive set of boxes a few days ago from Folio.
It’s lovely to see the versions you’ve found and chosen to add to your collection. It is always refreshing and inspiring to see items I’ve either forgotten about or I would not normally think to seek out. 💕
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
What an epic unboxing! The books are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!
You must have incredible patience to wait so long! I get impatient when I have to wait a few days. So wonderful to see so many beautiful books.
I have been really discouraged due to the delays. I wish there were an express shipping option. It works wonderfully when I order books from Amazon US!
I love that edition of Miss Marple Stories! And WOW to that Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea artwork and everything about that Edgar Allan Poe book!
December!! Also your book hauls are without a doubt the craziest in variation and amount of books. Delicious to watch! Way2go btw on the o'brians, such an underrated masterpiece, just read the first three pages of M&C and youll be hooked and will finish the series in no time
I’m really excited to read it!
The Last Man is truly gorgeous, isn't it? Glad to be an influencer. ;)
You were! I was hoping to get this copy on sale again since I saw yours!
So glad you finally got them! I follow you on Instagram and (I think?) saw you on LibraryThing saying it took forever to get the books in from Folio. Beautiful books!
Thank you! Yes, it took forever... and I’m still waiting for the Beatrix Potter boxed set I got in the new year sale lol...
Awww Miss Marple! I love her. Beautiful books as always!
I've never heard of Little Grey Men or Down the Bright Stream before.
Have you read The Wind in the Willows? I believe the plot is somehow similar :)
Congratulations on finally receiving the books! I guess you’re very happy ;) What an addition to your TBR pile! )
Since you’ve embarked on tracking down the Aubrey-Maturin series (which I didn’t dare), I wish you good hunting.
Thank you!
They seem to have rebranded the books as they were not popular for a while . Now we see so many Folio Society books.
Folio used to be a subscription club. They changed the business and as I perceive they try to reach a broader reader.
Which publisher and editions ?
Que lindos!!! Você é brasileira?
Sou :)
Please review the 20000 Leagues Under The Sea book! I want it, but I need to see a review first
Consider it done!
Hello! I wanted to ask about the Calla editions' binding. Are they smyth sewn or ordinary perfect binding?
Hi! The ones I got are smyth sewn. Calla is part of Dover Publications. So far all the books I saw published under the brand Calla have good quality and are smyth sewn. But I don’t recommend books released under the brand Dover on the spine because I got a clothbound book by them that unfortunately had perfect binding.
Thanks. I found some interesting titles and wanted to order them. Glad to know they are sewn.
How many books in the B.B. set, Renata? I only have Little Grey Men in FS clothes
There are three but so far Slightly Foxed released only those two (another title by BB will be released in September).
Lovely haul!
How much does it take to ship to where you live, if i may ask?
Adya Singh expensive... folio charges 15 to 17 pounds. But what made me stop my fs shopping spree was the row prices, that are much higher for people living overseas. I feel really dummy paying more for the same items you know? So I decided to read the ones I haven’t read yet before purchasing more from them.
Do you have gone with the wind book? I want to look your folio society in gone with the wind title. By the way i love your videos.. Very beautiful and interesting..and your collections very amazing. ❤
karina violet thank you!!! Gone with the Wind is definitely on my wish list... I haven’t read the book but I love the movie.
I'm waiting for your new videos
How do you make space for your books?
It’s not easy… I have bookshelves everywhere 😅
Você mora no Brasil?
Sim :)
Até aqui, tem brasileiros comentando! Somos uma praga nesse planeta!
aren't you scared of buying these really expensive editions of books you don't know you'll like?
Juliana Sanguanini not really. FS books are easy to sell.
