I missed out on owning this incredible edition.

They cooked.
Just ordered my copy £500 open wallet surgery, but I do love folio books.
I need to get a set every paycheck I want then so bad
Any word on a price point??
$750 in the USA.
@@intronfilms WILD
I admire this man so much! Great artist and a true gentleman!
Another winner, a beautiful volume , love watching all the love and care the staff of Folio Society take in their wonderful craft
Looks pretty cool but I have a few issues: 1) A limited edition without any leather is somewhat of a letdown. The materials are basically a standard edition with a slightly bigger size book and a fancy box. I guess this depends on the final price but I hope it’s not over $500 all things considered. 2) The design looks awfully similar to Folio’s The Original of Totalitarianism , which comes with 2 books and is $220. 3) The Original extra patches look like a blatant copy of what Amaranthine Press just did with Catch 22. Same exact aesthetic. Folio’s limited editions keep pulling more and more away from leather bindings. It was full leather then quarter now none. I really hope this book isn’t super expensive or it’s going to be a rip off, because I do like it but the deciding factor on the purchase is definitely going to be the price. I hope they don’t try and gouge knowings it’s a popular book.
$750 hahaha what a joke
What a beautiful volume! If only I could afford it, sigh! But with a teacher's salary... G. Orwell would have been proud of the craftsmen & women.
Therrifiýing is not the book, terrifiýing ís that it became the truth and we live in 1984. Thank you for publishing it now.
Sheesh 😮💨
When does it come out please. Thank you
A week later.
Hi! Our limited edition of Nineteen Eighty-Four will be available on 24 June.
Awesome! And a strong signal to send offering this book in these times we live in.
So cool!
I cannot imagine a more beautiful job to have. Hopefully in my next life..
Would you ever consider doing a non-limited edition that also includes a collection of his other poetic masterpieces that are more on the philosophical side? Especially The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and/or the Four Quartets
Managed to purchase a copy, can't wait to receive it
Make a list of a dozen or so illustrations you might expect to see such an edition of TBotNS. Triskele, the Citadel & Matachin Tower, Gyoll, Nessus and its wall, Dr. Talos, Baldanders, the play, the duel with the avern flowers, the stories from the brown book, two-headed Typhon, the castle at Lake Diuturna, the war with the Ascians, none of these are represented in this edition. The illustrations do not reflect the text, either aesthetically or in the particulars of the significant people, places, things, and events of the story. What a missed opportunity.
Will you publish the short stories individually?... Please 😂
That was one dramatic ass song
😂😂😂
Legendary at work with fascinating story and facts and interesting event and other stuff and more events
A very interesting and inspirational review and fascinating facts and story 😁
Vess' work on Sandman will forever be some of the best art I've ever seen in (comic) book form. The Tempest is one of my favourite issues ever. Also, his art in the third issue of The Books Of Magic "The Land of Summer's Twilight" is a masterpiece.
Love this
Beautiful slip case and lovely cover, not to mention the brilliant amount and style of internal imagery
Triple!!
I double need this book! 📖
I need this book!!!
These books are gorgeous
Yeah I’d buy this if it was rereleased…
I bought this and must critique the very bad TIMELY Captain America 1 comic book replica facsimile? Why is it sized so small width and especially height wise?? An original cover measures 8 5/8" width x 10 1/2" height. The Folio replica facsimile measures: 7" width x 9 1/2". Why not near the original Golden Age size or close to that vs this odd size?? Would have been better to use newsprint paper vs this waxy paper stock. Not worth the monies IMHO. Don't care for the hardcover book as am mainly after the comic to be held and read.
Why is it three volumes for one novel?
The novel is originally divided internally into three volumes (Mr Norrell, Jonathan Strange, and John Uskglass). There was actually a slipcase collectors edition for the paperback release back in 2005 that had separate books for each volume, one black, one white, and one red. As for why they did it here, someone from FS explained it in an interview with Collectible Book Vault: "When the hefty 1024-page paperback arrived in the office, we firstly considered using a larger format and thinner paper than usual, to ensure the maximum number of words per page and to prevent a book that might be extremely heavy and potentially detract from an enjoyable reading experience. We then considered a two-book set to overcome these issues, but a novel that is composed of three volumes doesn’t lend itself very well to splitting in half and each book, if the text was split equally, would still be over 500 pages in length. The final decision was to take a much more sympathetic approach to the text and create a three-volume set." Hope that helps
@@mumei178 thank you so much! It makes this new version even more appealing, although I have the original novel, deplorably unread. What to do, what to do….
@@nathanielmerchant3286 Read it before the August reprint to decide if you want it ❤️
Only seen the show, but I am instantly smitten and want this now
thank you for sharing! it's so nice to see his art studio. It's amusing to me that Charles Vess is exactly how I imagined him when I was ten, even though that was twenty years ago. I do have a copy of JS&MN, but it's been years since I read it and I don't remember a thing. I still might purchase a copy of this though; it looks gorgeous
This illustrator seems nice enough but JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL is a book authored by an Englishwoman and mostly based in England. I'm not so sure that an ageing hippy in West Virginia, drawing pictures in between smoking Jimson Weed and licking the bellies of the local hallucinogenic toads is appropriate. Has Charles Vess ever even visited York? It's not possible to 'know' the place without actually spending time physically walking the streets. York Minster cannot be understood from pictures and films. It is so much more than any one dimensional images could ever impart - even if you are tripping balls.
I'm not sure you're appropriate. There's a lot of presumption in your statements and unkindness in your words. I pray that the evil's grip on your soul will loosen, and you gain the inner peace you lack.
Seeing that according to the product description the illustrator inspired the author, I can't really think of a more appropriate illustrator... "When conceiving ‘the gentleman with the thistle-down hair’, the novel’s most unsettling antagonist, Clarke found inspiration in Charles Vess’s illustrations for The Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman."
^JFC what a troll
I have been a fan of Charles Vess' work for years and, as an Englishman, I can think of no better illustrator for this book.
Thank you for this little interview! So many gorgeous ilustrations!
Brilliant illustrator!
Absolutely the wrong choice! Folio opted for a "Gaiman" name instead of artists (there are many) who have toiled over years. The lettering and design are trashy/flashy...
"promo sm"
It´s beautiful!
I am having a very hard time getting into this book.
Looks fantastic!! What a wonderful edition.
What I have been asking for in every survey, thank you, Folio! This is stunning!
LINK WILL GO HERE eh
One of the greatest novels of the fantastic ever written. This looks absolutely stunning!
Wow!
One of my favorite books! This version looks so beautiful!
