Folio Society Frankenstein Unboxing

I unbox The Folio Society's Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.
Written by Mary Shelley in 1816 when she was 18 years old and first published in 1818 anonymously.
It is a classic of horror literature adapted for stage, film and radio over 100 times.
This gorgeous hardcover edition published by The Folio Society in series with Dracula has illustrations by Angela Barrett and is beautifully bound in blocked cloth.
The Folio Society was founded in 1947 with the goal of producing "editions of the world's great literature, in a format worthy of the contents, at a price within the reach of everyman."
You can find many other beautifully bound books at ► www.foliosociety.com/uk

I hope they do Phantom of the Opera and H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man in this style

I absolutely love this Folio book. What a gorgeous cover design!! I have a paperback copy of the 1818 version, and after reading it I told my wife that if I had to describe Mary Shelley I would say that she was the early 19th century version of Stephen King! I can certainly understand that, at least for a short time, it came across very badly to the limited public which read it and was one of the reasons why Shelley decided to have it published anonymously.
