Matt, I love your videos so much! You really got me into lotR, and the way you talk reminds me of my grandpa. Love your content, and hope you’re staying well
Hahah! I'm *trying hard* not to take that grandpa comment personally. But it's not easy. 😆 But I'm glad you're enjoying it all. And keep an eye out for some LotR content tomorrow. 😉
The Folio Society books are great. I bought a whole bunch of them about 20 years ago (including a beautiful complete set of Anthony Trollope). They seem recently to have concentrated on books as beautiful objects, but that are so nice I would be afraid to read them. Like the fabulous slip cases. The whole point of a slip case is to protect the book. But when the case is so nice, what are you gonna use to protect the case. Anyway, those are some really nice books. I would be tempted to get their editions of The Book of the New Sun, but it’s so much and I would still probably just reread my trade paperback. Oh well. I think my days of getting books as furniture are over.
Very nice! I have been eyeing that "Something Wicked" to go along with the rest of my FS Bradbury collection for a while now. My last FS haul was maybe 6 months ago, and the standouts from that order were Pet Sematary, the newest version of Dracula, and The Neverending Story. That last one was simply stunning.
Wow these books are gorgeous Matt! I’ve had the Dune edition on my list for a while, and now I’m tempted to own both of them even though I own the Ace Books editions too lol. I haven’t read the Princess Bride yet, but it’s one of my favorite movies.
Funnily, it actually occurred to me as I was cutting towards myself that it was a bad idea. 😆 Luckily no Matts were harmed in the production of this video.
Goodness, I've been eyeing those Dune editions (which I pronounce in a mix of both, honestly) but never got to buy them--as expensive as gorgeous, honestly. Nevertheless, I've been guilty of staring too long (or too short and impulse-buy) at some books, ha! Sadly, I missed Folio's special edition of Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury D: I can't forgive myself missing on that one!
im not into folio society i buy a book cool although i thought they had a cool cover for man in the high castle and no matter what that book wont be sold on amazon so i never buy it..just sharing hhmm books arnt cheap $135 for some illustrations in book princess bride
I've been eyeballing Folio editions for so long, especially the ones illustrated by my man Dave McKean, but I just moved so they're too far out of my budget right now
Now I really want that something wicked this way comes edition, it looks beautiful
It is! 😀♥️
@@MattonBooks I caved and bought it lol
Amazing haul! I now have 7 books from Folio and have been impressed by all of them!
Folio are dependably not too crazily priced, and beautiful. 😍
My son gifted me those beautiful Dune editions for my birthday a few years back ❤️ Enjoy yours!
Lucky you! 😍
A man that knows his way around a dagger and Folio books👍 new subscriber😂
😆 Hah! Thanks!
A Folio Society Book Haul! Gorgeous editions!
Indeed! I really have to hold myself back and avoid their site for 6 months now. 😬
@@MattonBooks just watch out - they'll send you those catalogs, which always give me the itch to buy more! 😂
@RedFuryBooks They’ve already started!!😬

Yeah Duffy, I’ll admit I’ve considered buying some white archival gloves for handling these. 😆
Impulse buying of books?!? No such thing! Books deserve a good home and you (we) just want to obliged them!
Hah! I like your style. 😉
Amazing editions, loved them all!
Me too Mike! 😃
Beautiful books! Love the Dune ones.
Indeed! They're gooooorgeous. 😍
Nice! I have The Princess Bride too and love it. Jealous of your Dune...been wanting that one for quite some time! Cool video!
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 And yeah, the FS Dune is gooorgeous. ♥️

It’s very pretty. 😍
Beautiful editions! 😍😍😍
I know, right? 😍
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YooooHOOOOO let’s goooooo
Lovely! Gorgeous editions. Quite tempted by Dune, and have been for a while… I also like their Howl’s Moving Castle, and many more
Their Dune is 🔥♥️🔥 Can’t imagine you’d regret it.
great video!💯
Thanks Abram. 🙂

You and me both mate - I’ve been looking at the Dune edition for st least a year now, and the new Messiah edition pushed me over the edge. 😆
I love FOLIO!
Folio loves YOU too! Assuming you’re sending them as much money as I am, that is. 😜
what is your opinion on Fingerprint! Publishing ( particularly they hardcover deluxe editions) ?
I’ve honestly never heard of them. Is their stuff good?
I love these - I want the ASOIAF ones!
Ohhhh god, me too. But if I get one, I have to get them all, and... 😬
@@MattonBooks At least we know there will only be five 😔

Yeah, this was a really poor impulse control month for me. My monthly wrap-up is going to be soooo long. 😆
📦 Now that’s a pretty s3xy unboxening! And yellow is the best colour 💛
I wouldn't paint my walls that yellow, but it looks 🔥 on Something Wicked! 😅
Let’s hope to get Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune! ❤
Absolutely! 😍

Yeah, not for everyone. Either way, enjoy your reading!
Why didn't you get the original Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern? ;)
I only wanted the good bits.
I've been eyeballing Folio editions for so long, especially the ones illustrated by my man Dave McKean, but I just moved so they're too far out of my budget right now
Yeah Shep, I feel ya. I wouldn't have bought them a year ago either. 😬
Have they done Children of Dune in this edition yet?
Nope, just Dune & Dune Messiah. Maybe one day…
@@MattonBooks the day has come!
