So, I went a little overboard with the Folio Society Summer Sale. But, in all fairness, these volumes were a really good deal. And who doesn't need a little #foliolove from time to time? My order arrived today and it feels like #ChristmasinJuly. 🎄#foliofreak #bookoholic #bookhaul #sorrynotsorry

Freespirit Hope you enjoy Cloudstreet. The writing is beautiful. ❤️ 5y
PurpleyPumpkin @Freespirit Thanks for your input! I was intrigued, so glad to hear that I picked a good one. Looking forward to reading it, although it may not be for a while since I have quite the backlogged #tbr.😅 5y

I think this is my sixth book from The Folio Society...am I getting close to a #FolioFreak status?? I had to give myself a Christmas present (because, the Book Outlet and Barnes and Noble orders just weren‘t enough), so I splurged on this sale book. I squealed when I removed this from the box. 😍

Christine11 It is so beautiful! 😍 5y
Librarybelle @Christine11 ❤️❤️❤️ 5y
emilyhaldi Oh no, I didn't know the sale was on!! I've been eyeing this one for months... Might have to splurge 😬 5y

I need more shelving so I can have all my folios in one place. At the moment most of them are hidden away in the dark gym, but I try to rotate some of them to this sunnier room occasionally

I am now officially a #FolioFreak
This is 100% #BlameLitsy ?
And my #MrB is a total enabler. I was feeling bad and asked him to take a look and rein me in, but he was like, "You're not even at 640. Let's see what else is for sale. Ooh, The Drowned World. And Pushkin short stories. Add those, will you?" ?
In the end I feel like I've exercised admirable constraint. I managed to resist several books. ??

PurpleyPumpkin You did very well! For my recent order, I kept adding what appealed to me to my cart, then had to remove a bunch of books because I was up to about $800!😳I ended up spending much less, but had to give up some great sales. Oh well! 6y
Leniverse @PurpleyPumpkin Ouch. That sounds tough. I think it would be harder to have to remove things from the basket than to resist adding them in the first place! 6y
PurpleyPumpkin You may be right. I thought I‘d just pick what I liked, but there were so many great books at great prices, I went a bit overboard. 😬 Until the next sale! 6y

These must be two of my favourite books I own- just look at the covers! 😍
On the origin of species was a purchase from the British Museum and the voyage of the hms beagle was a Christmas present...
I can see this as the start of a folio society collection! 😂

My #booksfromboxes from Folio Society. The boxes are lovely but they cause a dilemma since they cover up the beautiful covers. 🤔 I️ had never heard of Folio Society Books until Litsy. #blameitonlitsy #tuneintonovember

Cinfhen Such problems!?! I wish you more of those type!!! 6y
rubyslippersreads Actually, that brings up a question I've been wanting to ask all you #foliofreaks—how important is the slipcase to you when buying a used copy? Sometimes I see fabulous deals because the slipcase is missing. What do you think? @LeahBergen @elkeo @sarah83 @Moray_Reads @Kalalalatja @DeborahSmall @ScorpioBookDreams @quirkyreader @Jess_Read_This and any other #foliofreak I might have missed. 😊#folio 6y
Kalalalatja @rubyslippersreads I like the boxes, because they normally mean less damage. But I haven't tried buying a FS book used, so I don't know how the quality is. 6y

Sarah83 Instead there are other editions without any slimcase, I would decide, if the book looks quite great and how much I want it right now. @rubyslippersreads 6y
Mdargusch Haha! @cinfhen. Me too! 6y
DeborahSmall @rubyslippersreads I think it‘s a personal choice, there are Folio editions called ‘Collectibles‘ they have no slip cover and are only (d0 I don‘t mind those but if I‘m buying second hand I‘d have to make sure it had its original slipcover ? 6y
Mdargusch @rubyslippersreads I️ would buy the book without the case if it was in good condition because they are so gorgeous. But then again I‘m a new #foliofreak so maybe I‘m not serious enough? 6y
Reviewsbylola 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @Cinfhen 6y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Always the slipcase! And I buy lots of mine used. 😄 6y
LeahBergen @Mdargusch And now I'm eyeballing that Finzi-Continis ... 😆 (edited) 6y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen And I'm eying Good Behaviour. Although I guess there is no such thing when it comes to buying books! 😂 6y
ScorpioBookDreams @rubyslippersreads I like the slipcase because it protects the book. I love the covers but, since I can‘t see them on the shelf, they might as well be protected! It‘s personal choice though!! 💕 6y
Moray_Reads I suppose it depends whether you want the copy to have value other than being pretty or the words inside. The slipcase definitely affects the monetary value 6y
emilyhaldi Yeah I'm pretty torn on this predicament 🤔 6y
Mdargusch Go for it @LeahBergen and @rubyslippersreads 🤑🤑🤑 6y
quirkyreader All of mine have been second hand with the slip case. But if I ever find one without it and it is still in good condition with a good price I'll get it. Especially if it is The Handmaids Tale. The art in that book is amazing. @rubyslippersreads (edited) 6y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads I would say slipcases are nice - but with second hand ARE the part that takes the damage. If I see one I want missing a slipcase, I would still buy it. That said, I have found nice used copies with nice cases. Personal preference and watching out for good ones is the way to go! 6y
