Nice sense of humor! I wish I could get my kids to not want to eat every two hours lmao. Thanks for the comment.

@@rarebookreviewer I had four kids! I feel for you!!

I agree my friend. Unfortunately I have been moving away from their books due to the quality issues that I’ve seen as well.

@@rarebookreviewer I’ve given up on the Folio Society for the most part, I’ve still been getting the Agatha Christie books tho.

The quality is definitely MUCH better with suntup. Folio Society has been cheaping out lately on alot of books and suntup always delivers.

@@mintistic7972 true but sometimes folio has artwork that I prefer to Suntup. The propaganda poster art for the Handmaid’s Tale for example in the Folio edition is much better than than Suntup. Same with the Godfather, Folio’s art production is just more beautiful even if it doesn’t have the signatures of a Suntup. That said on almost every other title, Suntup crushes folio society

Thanks man...I’ve been getting out of showcases because I don’t feel like there has been much appreciation so I really do appreciate the comment.

You made my day! These comments are the reason I’ll continue making the videos so I appreciate it more than you know! I hope that you love the book!

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate the positive comment. I had actually been thinking about stopping the showcases so getting these types of comments does make a difference. Thank you for your kindness.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is what Blade Runner was based off of and they do sell it...I also have a showcase for it.

@@rarebookreviewer I know that, just for the movie. But I didn't find any so probably there isn't any 1982 BR artbooks yet. But thanks, I'm planning to read that!

Ron I appreciate this comment. I want to keep doing showcases. Unfortunately, I had a situation that soured my feelings on continuing...which is really disappointing to me..I am thankful for the comments though. And my students think it’s awesome that I’m also a KZfaqr and a teacher. I wish I had more comments like this. In the end, I will probably continue but I don’t know when I’ll get back at it.

@@rarebookreviewer Don't let any negative get to you my friend, life is too short for that crap; I and people like me appreciate what you do. By the way Dune arrived this week and it's all you said it was and more - I am well happy, keep it up bro, respect from the UK...Ron

Never read it but 8m hoping for The Stand

I agree mate! This edition is stunning!

It is a shame that I live in Brazil, so it is very expensive to me. Maybe in the future I can buy this edition and add in my collection 😂

Thank you for making the best books in the world!

Both Ubik and I Am Legend are favorites of mine that I've purchased. Do you have no interest in Rendezvous with Rama? Or Planet of the Apes (a great novel)?

Hey man! I am just killing myself for not getting Ubik on my last order. I want to snag it but I need to save some cash. You were going to absolutely love I Am Legend! And I love the binding design of Dispossessed. I’m trying to think of recommendations for the fifth book but there are just so many good ones and I don’t know what you already have. I do know you’re going to be really happy with those four books though! I really appreciate the comment at the showcase helped you decide to keep the book in your cart. It’s honestly the best compliment I could get so I am thrilled and you made my day!

Dude you totally hit the nail on the head about the last line of the book absolutely killing it. I read this book so many years ago and I still remember that last line to this day. This is just one of those books I will always stick with me. As always, thank you for all the little tidbits you share on the history of the books that I present. Honestly, I really appreciate it more than you know. My hope is that people will read your comments I’m getting a greater understanding through them!

@@rarebookreviewer People talk about opening lines of novels being important, but a good closing line can take a book to another level. This book achieves that!

I really enjoyed the story. Probably a 4 out of 5 story for me personally. The tv series is phenomenal but pretty dark. I don’t know if you’ve watched it but if you can get through the first few episodes you should be good. Definitely glad I read it and had the FS edition. I’d love to see you cover this one too sometime!

Whaaat!? You seriously made my night! Thank you SO MUCH for the comment and for deciding to take the plunge! This edition is still my favorite of anything they’ve put out! I’m certain that you’re going to really enjoy the reading experience. Have a great night!

Hey mate! Thanks for the comment! Just to add though, while I do agree that it is a bit of a spoiler for sure, the character that the illustration shows dead isn’t mentioned in the book much at all. I am someone who guesses everyone in a whodunnit but this particular character is mentioned so little that it she really wasn’t an option for the final reveal. Still, I appreciate your point!

Thank you so much for the comment my friend! It really means a lot to me to hear things like this. I hope that you were happy with your purchase of Jurassic Park! I really enjoy the design of that one too. Only thing is I just wish that Michael Crichton would stop using the word “said” all the time! I never thought it would bother me but it was such a hard thing for me to put up with as I was reading. I did finish it though and enjoyed the book.

If you haven’t read this one, read it! And Then There Were None is also one of my favorites so I think you’ll really like this one. It definitely is hard to top that one though, so no promises on whether you’ll like it more but I at least think you’ll really enjoy it! Thanks for commenting!

I agree with you mate! I think another direction may have been better. Possibly a darker art style.

I agree, if we saw all the illustrations it's only the most violent or horrible scenes of the book, but it's a novel, not just a report on the horrors of slavery (or of losing your arm for scifi reasons) so I think there should have been some meaningful scenes that are not a depiction of some horrors. And we basically only see the main characters when they are sick and dying in these illustrations instead of getting a picture of what they are normally like. There isn't even a picture of rufus. Personally I think seeing a picture of rufus being a cute little kid or a picture of Dana or Alice or both looking good and then imagining them getting sick and dying or in rufus's case being a psycho would be better than to see them in a bad state and have to imagine them in a good state. I picture them as fascinating people in my head who then go through things that make them look half dead but not always

I think you should give her a try. I really enjoy how quick and easy they are to read. I’d go with Crooked House or And Then There Were None as my first recommendations. Though I really do enjoy the Poroit character and he’s not in those.

According to my knowledge they will ship to Denmark but you must pay for express shipping which is substantially more. I apologize if I am incorrect on this but this is what I remember from the last update that I saw.

I really appreciate the reply my friend! I hear you on And Then There Were None. That was my first AC book and it really is unforgettable and hard to top. You gave an excellent description of why it’s such a great book. Honestly, you make me want to go back and read it again. The only one I’ve been pretty meh on was Endless night. The book was ok and I liked the ending but it just felt a tad too long and was different from the others that I’ve read. Do you have any other favorites by AC? I’m sort of addicted to them right now.

@@rarebookreviewer Other favorites? Just one, and that's The ABC Murders. I like AC's books but I'm not addicted...yet. I am slightly addicted to the works of Josephine Tey and Anthony Horowitz though; they have a prose that I think is much more "substantial" than AC. Just my humble opinion though. As soon as I'm done with the remainder of my TBRs, I will put the rest of the Poirot books on order. Next year is going to be an awesome reading year!

@@travisbradford576 Thanks again for the comment! I just started ABC murders on audiobook based off of your comment. I’m only about an hour into it now. I totally get what you’re saying about Josephine Tey. Her books to feel more substantial but I actually prefer the simplicity of the Agatha Christie books. I’ve only tried to read one of Josephine‘s books but for some reason it was tough for me to get through. It felt more like work to me then truly uncovering a mystery. Maybe I just picked the wrong book by her though.Have you read any of the Margery Allingham books yet? I haven’t started those yet and I’d like to after some of the Agatha Christie books are finished.

@@rarebookreviewer Oh wait, so one of my favorite KZfaqrs has purchased an AC audiobook based off of one my comments...that's outstanding, that's also very gentlemanly and tactful of you! I hope you enjoy it. I've heard of MA, but I've never read any of her books.

I showcase the books as soon as I get them. So in many cases I have yet to read the book. I have since read this edition. I am trying to read them more before showcasing as you will see in my showcase of The Road. There are several other examples of books that I have read before showcasing (I Am Legend and a few more). I hope you’re enjoying the showcases. There are very few people taking the time to show off Folio Society books and I’d gladly stop if someone else wanted to take the time to do a better job than me regularly. I’ve even invited some of my regular subscribers who have a larger collection and more knowledge on the books too. So far, no takers. Thanks for the question.

@@rarebookreviewer you’re doing us a big service, keep on keeping on

@@cakataarjack3966 Very kind of you to chime in and make a comment! I know that I’m not the greatest out there for sure but I’m at least trying to help some others decide on a purchase one way or another. I do wish I had time to read all the books ahead of time. It is one thing that I regret not being able to do but I just don’t have the time to read books nonstop with two children under the age of five and a very limited amount of free time. I am so thankful for the people that do appreciate the showcases and I know that the person who made the original comment actually is a subscriber to so I think the question was a valid one.

Dawn, your comment means a lot to me! Thank you so much for posting that you ordered because of the showcase and of course thanks for subscribing! By any chance have you already read the book? I’ll be posting some more showcases once my new book order arrives.

@@rarebookreviewer I read it ages ago and just remember it being incredibly moving, albeit, a definite gut punch! Have you had the chance to read it yet? Hope you enjoyed it if you did!

@@dawnwebb2872 Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I had a lot of other folio society books to read this year including Dune, Jurassic Park, Crooked House by Agatha Christie and a few others. I also listened to the audiobook of Parable of the Sower by Butler and even though I liked it I didn’t love it so I decided to put kindred on the back burner for a little while but I’m sure I’ll really like it. Thank you for sharing and sorry for the delayed response!

Yes complete out of print sadly and unlikely to come back for awhile.

@@rarebookreviewer Yea, I asked them to which they replied, "Regrettably, I fear I must advise that The Shining by Stephen King is out of print and no further copies are available. I am afraid that there are no plans to republish it in the imminent future..."

I’m so glad you loved it! Well said my friend!

Is it still worth reading it after seeing the movie adaptation?

I believe that is their vision for the direction with Stephen King books. I will send them an email and check to see if they’re willing to give an official response. I know it can take quite a lot of time and effort before a book is published so I wouldn’t expect a new King book soon though they could surprise me. With them continuing the series with the silver, black, and red I think it would be smart to do similar designs. Your thoughts?

@@rarebookreviewer thanks for the reply- I would love to hear what they say if you get a response. I really hope they continue it… my hopes would be for a copy of IT and maybe Carrie. Which would you like them to make? 😊

Oh boy...I definitely have to have that now. Have you read it? We seem to have similar tastes in regards to a good paced plot. Would love to hear your thoughts on the story if you have. I’m definitely surprised about the second printing as well. They definitely didn’t stop selling it from what I remember so that was awfully sly of them. Thanks for the link...He did a fantastic job showcasing it. Wish I had the time to make my videos look that nice.

@@rarebookreviewer Me too! I'd have to buy a proper mic and camera to do the video reviews I'd like to do. I've never read Godfather even though I was a teenager at the time. I was too engrossed by Ray Bradbury, E. R. Burroughs and Alistair MacLean :)).

Love the books that you chose to pick up! I have had some on my list for awhile...I should have bit the bullet and purchased Kavalier and Clay. I just have a lot of unread books on the shelf. I’ve been waiting for Of Mice and Men to hit a sale at some point but I never get that lucky. Thanks for commenting that you’ll purchase Misery at some point! It’s awesome!

YES! This made my day man! I hope you like it! I know you will love the quality! I am so thankful for your many, many comments on my channel. You're the best!

@@rarebookreviewer I have three orders in the mail. Because I can never quite make up my mind and just do one big shop, I end up paying extra for shipping, but I ordered Misery along with The Godfather which another reviewer convinced me to buy. I also have six of the James Bond books on the way. I'm really looking forward to those. I hope you come back with a book review of Tey's writing. thanks for these posts and the chance to view Mark smith's exceptional work.

@@elliotwalton6159 the FS edition of The Godfather does look exceptional! I’ll be picking it up at some point, most definitely. I wouldn’t call myself a minimalist but I try to not overdo it with purchases as I am a slow reader with two young kiddos who I spend a lot of time with. If I get to read a couple of chapters a day, it’s a good day of reading for me. But I do enjoy the collecting aspect and if I were single, I’d be in trouble. Let me know if you enjoy reading the Bond books, as I know we’d both agree the illustrations are among the best FS has to offer!

@@rarebookreviewer I listen to Bond audiobooks often as I draw. They are, of course, much more interesting than the movies. I'd love to see Bond redone as a TV series set back in the Cold War. Fay Dalton's illustrations are as close as I'll come to seeing that. I've had a bit of a windfall, so I've been a tad indulgent with the books. I'm a slow reader as well. I got through the final two novels of the Book of the New Sun reading along with an audiobook. A very positive experience i will do again. Donna Tart, who wrote the introduction to True Grit, also recorded the audiobook. It's an excellent reading. I will be reading that novel along with her, for sure!
