Excellent catalog, but prices have skyrocketed
Every title I have purchased has been of the highest quality and absolutely beautiful. Their catalog is truly special, featuring rare, non-mainstream titles. I have thoroughly enjoyed every single book, and I truly believe it’s an experience everyone should enjoy.
However, I’m not giving it 5 stars because I feel the prices are now well above their value. They have changed their prices 3 times in a single year; books that used to be £55 are now £90. The same goes for international shipping, which went from £40 to £90.
Book received in excellent condition
Quick Customer Service and Professional Packaging
The product arrived within a reasonable time, so I got the book I had ordered pretty fast. The book itself was packaged carefully and professionally; you get the sense pretty early on when you open the package that this is a high-quality service.
Customer service was also very quick and helpful with regard to a question I had about the product, so thumbs up for that too!
I haven't seen this book in person in…
I haven't seen this book in person in ages. The last time I read The Last Unicorn, I was 13 years old. The Folio Society has preserved everything I remember about this story and yet made it new again. The Folio Society is to books what The Criterion Collection is to movies. It elevates the work to legendary status! Shipping was fast and efficient and I love the book's presentation and artful quality.
Overjoyed
Wonderful Special Edition of The Martian! I swooned when I first saw it online and it's just as beautiful once I had it in my hands.
Delivery took some time internationally but not too bad overall.
First time ordering and these books are…
First time ordering and these books are simply amazing. Outstanding quality and packaged well for shipping. I'm now a long term Folio fan.
Quick and accurate response was…
Quick and accurate response was provided. Products ordered were delivered in excellent condition. My long term Folio Society account info had been “lost.” Needed to again establish my info.
Books are of the highest quality
Books are of the highest quality, both in selection of texts to publish and in the finished printed product. Customer serice is prompt and reliable and the website is very easy to use.
A bibliophile's dream
The books arrived on time, the packaging was very good so no damage. The very high standards of the Folio Society are always maintained, and these books are no exception. Quality from cover to cover, the look, the feel, the paper, the illustrations. A bibliophile's dream.
Outstanding Slipcased Edition
This is a great slipcased edition of "The Ladies of Grace Adieu" with illustrations by Charles Vess. He is a favorite and never ceases to amaze.

Folio books are simply amazing
Folio books are simply amazing. Before this recent purchase I owned two: The Screwtape Letters and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, both of which I purchased from eBay.
Shipping is the kicker (from anywhere these days, so no blame on Folio). It took a while, but that is to be expected. What I did not expect was the insanity of their packing skills. The books were meticulously packed, I have never seen so much care go into shipping books.
The quality of the books needs no description or explanation. The name Folio Society speaks for itself. Can't wait to read these books and for my next purchase.
Thanks!
