About The Folio Society
Written by the company
The Folio Society publishes beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with newly commissioned illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. For over 75 years, we have celebrated the unique joy derived from owning, holding and reading a beautiful printed edition of your particular favourite.
Our books can only be purchased new through our website, ordered by post or over the telephone. We deliver to book lovers worldwide.
Beautiful books
We publish exquisitely produced new editions of already published works, with some exclusive anthologies and short story collections. The books we select for publication are timeless – we know they will be enjoyed and appreciated now and in the future. Because each book is considered as an individual object of value in its own right, there is a variety to our design and style – the only uniformity is in the quality of every single edition.
Folio books make wonderful gifts for readers of all ages. Our editions range from the classic fiction to fantasy; science fiction to ancient and modern history; gothic tales to science – there is something for everyone. Please visit our website to see our current collection.

Great design and binding of important books. It seemed like the time to read the big 20th century dystopian novels (1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451) and was so happy to be able to add your excellent editions to my collection.

Easy to order (tough to choose.) Quick service from across the ocean.
Top quality products and excellent service
One of the best books in the world, of course, loved by young and old. Beautifully bound and illustrated and from experience I know there will be no typos. Immediate attention to delivery, by FedEx and Canada Post, which put my book in a locked space inside my building within a few days. That's a fast crossing of the Atlantic and a large landmass.
The books were beautiful
The books were beautiful, and the shipping and packaging were done perfectly.
All good
All good, but please add express delivery options for EU. FedEx economy took almost week and a half to arrive to Austria, with one day delay.
Book arrived in superb quality
Book arrived in superb quality, I will buy from here again! I’m going to get song of Achilles next time!
Great website

The website is very user friendly, with beautiful pictures of the selections currently on offer. The books were very well packed, and the delivery was quicker than I expected

The quality of the books is outstanding. Their commitment to the illustrated book is to be commended.
These books are works of art
These books are works of art. I bought “Neverending Story” as a gift for myself and my daughter- the quality is exceptional and reading it together is a magical experience. These are collector’a books, the kind of book you’ll want to pass on in the family to the next generation.
Very good
Good selection to choose from. Good delivery and the book very safely wrapped. Very helpful if advice/help needed.
Delivery service
I needed the book in a hurry in order to be in time for a birthday present so I paid extra for express delivery. Even though I live in Ireland and deliveries from the UK can be hit and miss post-Brexit, the book arrived in a couple of days, in good time for the birthday.
Folio Subscriber
I have been a subscriber to Folio for many years. I find their books of value and very well done. I have never had a problem with an order, nor their products. Their books have been as described and even better than described.
