Folio society stands on top
Folio society makes the most beautiful books, I have purchased from easton press and broken binding and while I have enjoyed those as well, folio society quality stands above. The paper used ia immaculate and so thick and the binding is perfect. Customer service is top notch.
The Last Unicorn book
I purchased The Last Unicorn book as a gift to my sister. It was one of her favorite movies as a child. She told me it looks beautiful and that she will enjoy reading it.
Prompt faultless service every time

I'm so glad the method of delivery has reverted to Royal Mail.
Thank you.
Do it!
Much faster shipping than I anticipated, being overseas. Packaged well to avoid any damage, came pristine and looks exactly as it does on the website. This is a gift and I know the recipient will love it.
Excellent books and service.
Was very impressed with quality
Was very impressed with quality, packing and how quick arrived, would recommend buying from this company, the price was very good aswell
Amazing Customer Service!
I found a book offered by The Folio Society that I knew my wife would absolutely love. I had plenty of time before her birthday, so I decided to order it using regular shipping.
When the book arrived, it was clear by the large gash in the box that something had happened to it during shipping. Despite the size of the rip in the cardboard, thanks to the excellent packaging the book was unscathed. Unfortunately, whatever had happened to the package had left a dent in the book's slipcase.
I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if a new slipcase could be sent. The Folio Society went well above and beyond by immediately responding and sending a new book and slipcase through express delivery. You can tell a lot about how much they care about their customers by how impressively they responded to my concern.
The Last Unicorn Review
The package arrived quickly and the book quality was beyond my expectations. I noticed a slight flaw in the slipcase and the company did not hesitate to reach out and assist me. I cannot believe the level of their customer service. I will definitely buy from them again!
