People continue saying money doesn't buy happiness but every single day I find myself disagreeing. In all seriousness, beautiful editions, with a huge attention to detail. I really hope I can afford them in the future for the (inevitable) reread!
You’re wrong. The product is causing the happiness. The fact that you buy it is irrelevant. If you were given it for free you would be even happier. So, money actually reduces the total happiness.
@@anapoda3081 how is that fake happiness? If you're only happy while opening it, it's not for you. Most people who buy are still happy with it while reading it. Happiness doesn't need to be permanent to be relevant. Going out with friends and having fun, it's only for a few hours. So what? Who are you to tell people that they're happiness is fake? I mean liking your own comment seems to make you happy. Work.
I was literally hunched over my keyboard pausing to catch all the details. The doors for the House of Black and White on the cover for FFC - astonishingly beautiful. You're an official book dragon, you have a hoard of precious books!
SO BEAUTIFULLL!!!! Fun story: a few years ago I was in a local antique/rare books shop and there were these super awesome volumes of ASOIAF that I'd never seen before. So I touched the box one volume set was in and I slid one of the books out to look at the cover to try to determine what edition it was... and the guy working there came over & was like, "Oh, please don't touch those. We're renovating & these should be behind glass. They're super rare and expensive." They were the signed Subterranean Press editions lol OOPS!
It’s a dead falcon on volume one of AFFC, the moon represents the moon door, the dead falcon is Lysa, the mockingbird is Petyr. This set is incredible, and look amazing covers out for my zoom background. Also, I am so happy they made the chapter headers different for each alias ie. Sansa and Alayne have different chapter headers, Queenmaker and Princess in the tower, Iron Captain and The Reaver etc.
I absolutely plan on picking up all of these asap. I adore this series to death and honestly these are absolutely breathtaking editions. I have so many different editions of A Song of Ice and Fire it’s easily my favorite book series of all time even with it being incomplete. I can’t wait to add these to the collection excellent video as always.
I really, really want these! I'll have to get them one at a time though, I don't have more than that left in my budget after all the necessities are paid for.
Huge fan of asoiaf appreciate your content thank you. I've followed like every podcast talking about the series and seen you appear before on bend the knee but now with your reread series coming out I'm glad to now also be following you thank you for the energy you put towards this series you're fun to listen to
Hey thank you so much. ASOIAF means a lot to me so the fact that I'm able to create and contribute to content for other fans of the series is really awesome. Appreciate you!
These books are so beautiful that I genuinely feel I don't deserve them. They should be owned and cared for by true die-hard fans. I _am_ a fan, but there are fans out there who deserve them more than I.
Best series of all time for me. I have the first 3 of the Folio editions. Can’t put into words how high quality and beautiful they are, almost don’t want to read them to avoid hurting them. Just subscribed so I can listen to your reread, it’s gonna be fun.
The really good thing about folio editions is they are deluxe but are built to be reader editions. It's a very Folio way of doing things, they want their books read and to be admired.
@@thefantasynuttwork was planning on doing the read along with y’all but i couldn’t wait to read clash 😭 especially after reading the last chapter of game of thrones
@@thefantasynuttwork no, my bad... I misread that. He did an intro to GRRM's set. Sorry if I got your hopes up 😕 There should be one though. Imagine all the incredible art portraying the Bloody Nine!
I want to own at least one special edition of one of my favorite series! they're pricey but I see they're worth it... maybe my next birthday gift, for myself 😍😍 I also loved Juniper's dust jackets.... especially the Wheel of time ones, they're so cool !! Happy for you :)
Jealous? I’m not jealous, YOU’RE jealous. 😝 Congrats on the gorgeous editions Nutts. The most important question: how’re you going to display these on your shelf? 🤔
I've only got the first so far cuz it comes out to about 400 bucks in my currency (thanks exchange rate). But without doubt the best books FS have ever done. Though I think mine had been 'pre-loved' (it was a return I guess) because it already had holes in the corner bits where the map folds. Since then in the handful of times I've unfolded and then struggled mightily to figure out how in the heck to refold it, it's torn at all the seams and I've had to resort to cellotape to patch it up.
Are these... readable? I'd love to buy them but I like to read my special editions rather than have them purely for display. Is the printing on the covers fragile? For example if I'm handling it a lot, will it flake off or scratch easily?
Love this set! Finally got the funds saved up to get all four. Random question. Would you say they packaged it well enough for shipping to handle the weight of all 4 at once? Or would you suggest ordering 2 orders of 2? I’ve never ordered from them but their shipping in videos seem to be well protected.
I’ve watched this video a few times now and I can’t wait to get these myself. Such and amazing epic story that is some of the best stuff ever written. Great video man, hopefully these don’t sell out by the time taxes hit lol
are you going to make a video showing the images inside each book? i'm really curious about AFFC but there is not a single video showing folio's Feast except for yours
@thefantasynuttwork they just announced the Fire and Blood edition and it looks to be a little cheaper. Could maybe go with that plus it looks awesome!
I want them to make a folio for the rest of RotE so much. Although if they make one for everything I will have to buy the Farseer version. These are so nice
@@thefantasynuttwork im conflicted because Hobb is my favorite author, but I think the Folio ASOIAF is actually much nicer then the Folio Farseer editions
Definitely worth it if you are a fan of the ASOIAF series. The Folio Society edition is the best version, in my opinion. I'm fortunate enough to own all 4 books 1st editions.
I had seen the first book They had not given rich illustration Very less illustration in book 1, when you separated 1 book into 2 there should be so much illustration expected
Thanks for all the support!

@@PeebeesPet and really, it's fake happiness, you're happy the few minutes it takes you to open the damn thing and then...nothing lol.

Those look so nice!
They're gorgeous 😍
Super jealous! One day I will get these. It's probably my favorite fantasy series of all time
They're really cool, especially for someone who loves the series!
@@thefantasynuttwork I shouldn't have watched your video. I just got the way of kings leatherbound. I need to control myself. Lol

Will do 🙏

I'm in love with them
I freakin love Folio Society! I'm jealous haha
They're mind blowing
❤️absolutely stunning!
Hype 😀
These are stunning! My anxiety levels any time a knife was near them though 📈📈📈
Yeah not super safe I'll admit 😜
Great video. I own volumes 1 and 2 and I love them. They made me start a reread myself. Showed my girlfriend this video. I hope she got the hint 😂
Might be a good holiday season this year huh? Haha
Love the box's 😁
Me too 😊
So awesome and beautiful and expensive.
All three of those are true
This is beautiful, any chance you’ll do a review of a Dance with Dragons
Maybe some day!
I want the feast one so bad. It's my favorite Fantasy novel, if not my favorite novel period. The FS copy looks incredible
It's so dang cool
Just here to mention my appreciation for the great BJJ shirt, 10/10.
Finally someone recognizes!!! Major props
Jealous? I’m not jealous, YOU’RE jealous. 😝

They're easily the best books I own, the details!
Folio Ed. of Dance is out too I think...
Just got it!!
The change of binding was to a more eco-friendly paper - instead of film

Isn't that last one the falcon of Arryn? On the Feast of Crows cover? I do love these and i am jealous hahaha ^^.
I believe so!
@@thefantasynuttwork btw...you should do these again. Or maybe show more special edition. I love to watch this :D

Yeah for someone with a TH-cam channel, I'm crap at speaking 😂
Each box set is a continuation of A Game Of Thrones?
Of the series yes
I hope you do one for farseer someday!
I should!
A dance just released
I ordered it 🙏
Been wanting to get these editions of ASOIAF for so long. Do you beileve these editions are worth the price. Love the channel keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! I do think these are worth the price tag, but definitely a person by person basis
Definitely worth it if you are a fan of the ASOIAF series. The Folio Society edition is the best version, in my opinion. I'm fortunate enough to own all 4 books 1st editions.
Lol the catalog is hilarious
They know what they're doing lol
Is there a reason only the top is sprayed?
Not that I can tell

Thank the Seven
Hey do you know that folio society has chitty chitty bang bang?
I do now 🙂
:D
Heavy breathing
Now give us all of the RotE plz
Way to rich for my wallet but fantastic. *spitting on my mass paperbacks*
Hahaha I still love my MMPB!
The illustrations look so weird tho, the art is good but thats not how the characters look according to the book
They went a bit off script
My bank account weeps for you
Thank you 😭
Watching this was a mistake
🤣
I changed my opinion of Game of Thrones. I threw away my books and I won't be buying anything Martin writes.
First printing** Literally means nothing.
i cant believe people acutally buy these books for such a ridiculous prices
folio and other like them should be ashamed
