Troy and Its Remains

Troy and Its Remains: A Narrative of Researches and Discoveries Made on the Site of Ilium, and in the Trojan Plain (Classic Reprint) | Henry Schliemann

#NuYear #Warriors very interesting read on Heinrich Schliemann; business man turned archaeologist and his excavation in Turkey of Homers Troy. Thinking that Homeric Troy must be in the lowest level, Schliemann and his workers dug hastily through the upper levels,Schliemann was angry when Calvert published an article stating that the Trojan War period was missing from the site's archaeological record... I‘ve only skimmed this but interesting ❤️

Cinfhen, TrishB

DeborahSmall I love the pic of his 2nd wife Sophia wearing ‘The Jewels of Helen‘ ❤️ 💎 6y

TrishB Looks fab 👍🏻❤️ 6y

LeahBergen I‘ve read a few things about the archaeology of Troy and it‘s so fascinating. (edited) 6y

Cinfhen I was thinking this would be perfect for @LeahBergen and perhaps @Melissa_J 6y

Melissa_J @Cinfhen you are right, Cindy! This one sounds fascinating and is definitely something I‘d read. 6y

😱😱 I love these folio books! They're just so pretty to look at, but I definitely cannot justify spending the money on them. Would love a free one, though 😉

I'm sorry that I can't do reposts or even decently crop a pic on the Android app.

I don't own a single Folio and would love to have one! The book sounds fascinating. #foliofreaks #foliogiveaway

A #foliogiveaway open internationally?! 😍 This is awesome! Thanks, @DeborahSmall !!

DeborahSmall Yes! I've no problem posting overseas ❤️ 7y

Aninski Hey @elkeo , unless you already own this one, I suspect you don't want to miss this 😊 7y

elkeOriginal @Aninski Thanks for tagging me! But this was a title that made me worry I may not always want the free books they include... 😬 7y

Aninski @elkeo hahaha fair enough! I'm a history nerd, I might buy something this month just to get it if I don't win the giveaway! 😳 7y

elkeOriginal I think we may be able to do swaps among the #FolioFreaks to get or get rid of our extras! It's helpful we all have our own focus at times like this! 7y

DeborahSmall @elkeo I agree, although beautiful editions I know I won't read my free books. would prefer fiction. I really hope the last 3 free books are ones I'd actually consider buying 7y

elkeOriginal Fingers crossed! 7y

@DeborahSmall I would love a copy of this! I'm a #foliofreak wannabe, and also a classics major, so I would actually read this book in addition to thinking it gorgeous! I of course have a love/hate relationship with Schliemann but it would be fun to read! #foliogiveaway

I don't have any Folios. I'm a little frightened to go near that rabbit hole. I will gladly take a free one!
@DeborahSmall

saresmoore Not to be a bad influence or anything, but I found my first folio "used" (still in the plastic wrap) via AbeBooks and it's glorious. 7y

vivastory How many folios do you have? @saresmoore 7y

saresmoore Just the one! It was still more than I normally pay for books since I buy almost solely second hand. I plan to build the collection slowly. The one I got is

I Capture Castle

See All 7 Comments

DeborahSmall @saresmoore my first was also seconds hand but still in plastic wrap. Also a double; Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Blake by Peter Ackroyd was also second hand and is beautiful 💕 7y

Moray_Reads It's very dangerous but totally worth it (I have 58) 7y

vivastory @Moray_Reads How long have you been collecting them? 7y

@DeborahSmall is a very generous #foliofreak temptress, and she's tempting me with Troyans! 😍🤗😍 I'm putting my name forward for the #giveaway even though I don't own any folio books (I just lust after them in my waking dreams). Consider me a foliofreak wannabe. 😂

vivastory I also am a foliofreak wannabe. Seems like there should be a medical diagnosis. Hmm.. foliomania? 7y

Leniverse @vivastory Foliomania, yes... which can develop into fully fledged folio addiction. 😂 7y

vivastory @Leniverse No doubt, it's a slippery slope. Sometimes I'll look at folio site & fantasize about winning the lottery so i could buy them all 7y

** FOLIOGIVEAWAY**#foliofreaks who would like a copy of this? I now have 2 as it is one of the free mystery books folio are giving away this month. It is a gorgeous book. The one I received today is still in cellophane. I don't mind posting international. So repost and tag me! #foliogiveaway Could be another one next week as I have a few more books arriving ❤️️📚

elkeOriginal I was worried about possible duplicates on the free books! Now we know... 7y

DarcysMom Very sweet of you! 🍭🍫🍦 7y

Betty What are Folio books? 7y

Kalalalatja You are way too sweet 💜 7y

DeborahSmall @elkeo even though I staggered my ordering I've still ended up with 2.Due more next week, hopefully don't get more duplicates. But if so another giveaway! ❤️ what are you waiting on now? 7y

elkeOriginal I am waiting for Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde now and then my next purchase will be the Brown Fairy book. Then the Railway Children...then maybe from the softcover series...HA! I had everything in one shopping cart and just had to back away before I leapt overboard! 7y

DeborahSmall @elkeo I didn't realise they had softcovers! My wish list is very extensive. I think I'm going to try and buy 1 fairy book a month until I have them all. But with my birthday money from family I'm spending it all on folio this month while the free books are available. Will try and keep some for the summer sale. My sister posting me The Alice in Wonderland folio tomorrow she got it yesterday.... 7y

DeborahSmall I think she signed in as a folio guest like my husband and instead of a free mystery book she said there's a Breakfast at Tiffany's folio notebook. So I've told sam to register with folio; he's buying me Pride and Prejudice and Emma 😍 7y

elkeOriginal Ah, yes - I forgot I need the Austen titles at some point too! Are the free books just this month? It's a hard deal to pass up... 7y

elkeOriginal I see now the free book offer expires June 30. So I slipped and 'accidentally' just ordered myself a Brown Fairy book...🙀 What is this summer sale you mentioned? 7y

DeborahSmall I've slipped a lot too this week. I promised I'd order just folio for 2 weeks and ordered 10 books on Amazon last night 🙈 I'm just realising Stephen finished his lectures this week so won't be at work during the day 😂 truly caught!! The summer sale is the same as the January sale, @ScorpioBookDreams can fill you in!! Apparently some amazing deals. Have the coloured fairy books ever been reduced Rachael? X 7y

ScorpioBookDreams @DeborahSmall @elkeo I still have the list of books that were in the new year's sale and can't see the fairy books on there. 7y
