    I just ordered this as my first Folio as well! I already own in it another edition, but this is my first Folio so I wanted something that meant a lot to me. Also I couldn't afford the Lovecraft collection. Off topic but you sound like the bad guy from the Resident Evil movies (or more positively the good guy in the Chernobyl miniseries) in a really cool way! You have a great voice for this sort of thing!

      The difference is, people with no imagination ability read illustrated editions. Book publishers especially love people like that, because they can produce “premium” editions like these and charge you out the wazoo for them. However, people who grew up reading and have been reading their whole life, and therefore, have very healthy and strong imagination capabilities, need only to read the standard Harry Potter Scholastic hardback editions, and save a lot more money.

I have a paperback copy of the 1818 version, and after reading it I told my wife that if I had to describe Mary Shelley I would say that she was the early 19th century version of Stephen King! I can certainly understand that, at least for a short time, it came across very badly to the limited public which read it and was one of the reasons why Shelley decided to have it published anonymously.
