    I forgot to mention the end-papers! They are pretty neat as well! :-)

    Great edition! I had the same thoughts as you did when I first saw it, but I'm happy to hear overall the books were worth it.
    Side note - I see you're wearing a Seiko alpinist, your eye for quality extends beyond just books :)

    Very jealous. I was so close to pulling the trigger on this one. Well done! Quick question, I am having a ridiculous time trying to purchase any of the Everyman’s Library books here in Australia. I have tried (Amazon, Book Depository, Kinokuniya) Has anyone got any ideas?

    Quite nice appearance to my eyes. A problem with "complete sets" is that you often have to live with thin paper and print from the reverse side coming through, but these pages seem reasonably thick.

      The paper is on the thicker side! Making the books fairly heavy!

    Hi Pontus, I probably missed it in your narration, but I didn't see on the copyright page where this Limited Edition was printed. Any idea where this was printed? Or is it common for limited editions with Folio Society to not disclose that? I've been taking more interest in printing origin with my latest Folio Society.
    With that said, I enjoy your content and am envious that you were able to nab this one! I really wanted it, but my book budget wouldn't allow it. I hope they make a standard edition like they do with some other limited editions. Keep up the great work :)

      I missed mentioning it, but it is printed in Italy, and it says so on the pink numbered limitation page in book one!

      It is shown on the page at 2:39

    Where are you from? Your accent sounds S. African almost. But then at times sounds German.
