It’s lovely to see the versions you’ve found and chosen to add to your collection. It is always refreshing and inspiring to see items I’ve either forgotten about or I would not normally think to seek out. 💕

You must have incredible patience to wait so long! I get impatient when I have to wait a few days. So wonderful to see so many beautiful books.

I have been really discouraged due to the delays. I wish there were an express shipping option. It works wonderfully when I order books from Amazon US!

December!! Also your book hauls are without a doubt the craziest in variation and amount of books. Delicious to watch! Way2go btw on the o'brians, such an underrated masterpiece, just read the first three pages of M&C and youll be hooked and will finish the series in no time

So glad you finally got them! I follow you on Instagram and (I think?) saw you on LibraryThing saying it took forever to get the books in from Folio. Beautiful books!

Thank you! Yes, it took forever... and I’m still waiting for the Beatrix Potter boxed set I got in the new year sale lol...

Congratulations on finally receiving the books! I guess you’re very happy ;) What an addition to your TBR pile! ) Since you’ve embarked on tracking down the Aubrey-Maturin series (which I didn’t dare), I wish you good hunting.

Have you read The Wind in the Willows? I believe the plot is somehow similar :)

They seem to have rebranded the books as they were not popular for a while . Now we see so many Folio Society books.

@BookCravings 3 жыл бұрын

Folio used to be a subscription club. They changed the business and as I perceive they try to reach a broader reader.

Hello! I wanted to ask about the Calla editions' binding. Are they smyth sewn or ordinary perfect binding?

@BookCravings 6 жыл бұрын

Hi! The ones I got are smyth sewn. Calla is part of Dover Publications. So far all the books I saw published under the brand Calla have good quality and are smyth sewn. But I don’t recommend books released under the brand Dover on the spine because I got a clothbound book by them that unfortunately had perfect binding.

@mustafabilal1315 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I found some interesting titles and wanted to order them. Glad to know they are sewn.

There are three but so far Slightly Foxed released only those two (another title by BB will be released in September).

Lovely haul! How much does it take to ship to where you live, if i may ask?

@BookCravings 5 жыл бұрын

Adya Singh expensive... folio charges 15 to 17 pounds. But what made me stop my fs shopping spree was the row prices, that are much higher for people living overseas. I feel really dummy paying more for the same items you know? So I decided to read the ones I haven’t read yet before purchasing more from them.
