I cannot complain about service nor the book that I recieved Price was a bit hefty
I bought my book the Templars for £90
A few weeks later I saw the same book advertised at £110 why That is not fair to folk who want a book who suddenly have to pay £20 extra

Excellent quality and customer service.

Small issue with one of the books I ordered and reach s out to their customer service. They responded quickly and made it right. They shipped me a replacement at no cost. I love Folio Society books and their customer service is excellent.

Beautiful and thoughtful gifts

I recieved two beautiful books from my partner for our anniversary. I've coveted the Folio Society for years and these gifts didn't dissapoint at all.

Very high quality. No damage to the books from travelling across the globe. Beautiful and has kickstarted my own bookbinding hobby.

I ordered The Last Unicorn after the first sell out. It took about 2.5 weeks to get to me in the US from UK. It was wrapped so perfectly and very very protected! Someone could have kicked it onto the truck and it wouldn’t have made a dent! The book has a beautiful box cover and is absolutely stunning in real life. The cost is a bit much but was worth it for my childhood favorite memory that I can have for life. Highly recommend!

Question about mysterious manuscript Pre-Last Unicorn

The books arrived in great condition. It´s a treat to unpack them. Thanks for your care und love for books.
And I´m so glad my bookwish has become reality: At last I´ve got a Folio Society book"Last Unicorn"! Of course I wasn´t the only one who wished the publication of this book, but a little bit proud I am. I´ve got another challenge for you: Beagle wrote a version of the last unicorn BEFORE this one. He had to alter it and the book as we now know it came after the unfinished manuscript. I found it once on E-Bay, but I couln´t spend so much money and of course it has never been completed. Would it be possible for Folio to print this manuscript too? Thanks anyway.
