Outstanding books but pricey

The books are made with excellent quality and always arrive in a timely manner. The only negative is the high price of the books which has increased since earlier days and has slowed down my purchasing.

WORTH EVERY PENNY! Don't wait!

The quality of the website, the quality of the merchandise, the accuracy and speed of the order delivery. Best of all, it was a gift my brother really looked forward to, and IT DELIVERED EVERYTHING HE EXPECTED, especially the quality of the product. Thank you! As an aside, these high quality books will be the source of countless birthday and Christmas gifts to come!

The best quality for the greatest book lovers

Folio Society produces books that will be passed down through generations. The paper used has a perfect tone, and the texture is impeccable. The cover is beautifully textured, and the book is magnificently well-stitched. Furthermore, the packaging protects the book in a way I've never seen in any other product. The price is very high compared to other publishers, but the same is true for the superior quality; your children and grandchildren will certainly appreciate your purchase!

It certainly wasn't a great experience

It certainly wasn't a great experience. Your hyperbolic nonsense is extremely irritating. The book you sent me was defective and had to be replaced. Customer Services did that very promptly but I still ended up queuing at the post office to return the original volume,

Beautiful product with amazing service!

I have always loved the Folio Society but normally bought them second hand. However, I decided to buy through Folio Society themselves as I wanted some books that only they were selling. What a difference in service, packaging and quality of the actual books. All my conversations with Folio Society were extremely polite, friendly and professional. Service that is rare these days. I wish they had a shop! I will now only buy direct if they still have the books I want.
