Note on this video: I made a video about this limited edition at the time of its release. However, that video was first flagged for nudity (basically ending its chances of showing up in searches) and it was also wrongly reported for copyright claims (I used Adrian von Ziegler’s copyright free music), so to avoid too much hassle I just decided to delete it.
Now… I made a new video. This video is mainly for future collectors of this limited editions. I want people to decide for themselves if they want to hunt for this expensive limited edition or not and I hope this video will help in that endeavor.
My opinion is that you definitely should get the Folio standard edition and NOT pay for this book second-hand. This edition doesn’t feel like a limited edition. The binding feels quite cheap and the rest of the book certainly resembles an FS standard edition, sadly. It is not worth the money just for the signatures (at least not for me). The standard edition FS released really made this limited edition quite pointless, and I therefor sold it.
I hope this video won’t get flagged (it’s ART KZfaq, so no reason to restrict this video). Thank you so much for watching!

I completely disagree. What sets apart the limited 4-volume edition from the standard 2-book edition is not just the signatures but the higher quality materials in the 4-volume edition. 3/4 bound in buckram, frontpiece in cloth vs standard paper boards and 1/4 bound in cloth, much better paper in 4 volume edition that is textured, printed in Italy versus china. What problems did you have with the binding? It looks standard Smyth sewing binding.

A dilemma with buying books I haven't read before is knowing whether to go for a deluxe edition (if they're available) or not, when I don't know if I'll even like the book, and I have a policy of only buying/owning hard copies of books where I actually like the content, regardless of how pretty the binding is. Because I'm a reader, not a collector. I've heard good things about Book of the New Sun, but of course I won't know if I'll like it till I actually read it, so I'm torn about whether to buy the Folio Society edition or not.

A classic conundrum. I’ve been thinking of compromising and ereading my first pass and then buying the nice edition if I like it.

Currently reading through the folio 2 book volume standard edition and really enjoying it so far. Ive heard it only gets better after going through a re-read with it being an unreliable narrator etc

I ended up selling mine. Horrible design IMO. The dark colors bleed into the yellow. Shame.
