About This Item
London: Folio Society, 2015. First Edition Thus, First Impression First Printing. Softcover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Complete set of the Folio Collectables series published by The Folio Society in 2015 and 2016. All first printings and fine copies. The only minor flaw is with 'Huckleberry Finn'. A little too much glue was used at front and back, meaning the endpapers don't sit quite flat, and there is a little glue showing through the gutter of the white blank before the half-title page (see photo). All fine o/w and probably all unread. The Folio Society published these ten books in the Folio Collectables series in 2015 and 2016. They won best Brand/Series Identity at the #BBDP Awards in 2016. In Folio's words: "the series contains great works of fiction and non-fiction, elegantly designed and typeset, and presented in a pliable full-cloth binding which is as appealing to the touch as it is to the eye". Printed on Abbey Wove paper. Flexible boards. Illustrated in b/w by various artists. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Additional photos available on request or these may be viewed on my listing. Heavy/oversize set. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers will be asked for extra. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.
