I really love beautiful books and collecting them. I have a few of those classic hard bound books from Barnes & Noble and some of the imitation leathers from Discount Books, but I see the Folio Society and am shocked at the price.

But I hear the quality is great.

I’m considering purchasing Rendezvous with Rama. The art looks beautiful and the story sounds super intriguing, but it’s $100…

Are they worth the price?

Have you ever purchased one and thought it was a waste?

    I have multiple from them and each one is absolutely beautiful. Not sure why some pics are sideways and some aren’t! I swear I held the camera the same way!

    American Gods, illustrations by Dave McKean:

    Princess Bride:

    Hithhiker’s Guide:

    Foundation:

    They also have a nice set of the James Bond books, but they are 1 short. :( I can’t justify buying the set until it’s complete, I’ve been burned on that before. :)
