Now I really want that something wicked this way comes edition, it looks beautiful
It is! 😀♥️
@@MattonBooks I caved and bought it lol
I’ve been eyeing that Princess Bride for a while
I assume you, it's SWOIT. 😍
A man that knows his way around a dagger and Folio books👍 new subscriber😂
😆 Hah! Thanks!
My son gifted me those beautiful Dune editions for my birthday a few years back ❤️ Enjoy yours!
Lucky you! 😍
Matt, I love your videos so much! You really got me into lotR, and the way you talk reminds me of my grandpa. Love your content, and hope you’re staying well
Hahah! I'm *trying hard* not to take that grandpa comment personally. But it's not easy. 😆 But I'm glad you're enjoying it all. And keep an eye out for some LotR content tomorrow. 😉
A Folio Society Book Haul! Gorgeous editions!
Indeed! I really have to hold myself back and avoid their site for 6 months now. 😬
@@MattonBooks just watch out - they'll send you those catalogs, which always give me the itch to buy more! 😂
@RedFuryBooks They’ve already started!!😬
Impulse buying of books?!? No such thing! Books deserve a good home and you (we) just want to obliged them!
Hah! I like your style. 😉
Wow!! Like ur special edition books!! Hope ur doing good 👍 too? Happy reading to you!! 🎉
Thanks Safina, same to you! 😀
Amazing editions, loved them all!
Me too Mike! 😃
Very nice! I have been eyeing that "Something Wicked" to go along with the rest of my FS Bradbury collection for a while now. My last FS haul was maybe 6 months ago, and the standouts from that order were Pet Sematary, the newest version of Dracula, and The Neverending Story. That last one was simply stunning.
It’s very pretty. 😍
Beautiful books! Love the Dune ones.
Indeed! They're gooooorgeous. 😍
Lovely! Gorgeous editions. Quite tempted by Dune, and have been for a while… I also like their Howl’s Moving Castle, and many more
Their Dune is 🔥♥️🔥 Can’t imagine you’d regret it.
Nice! I have The Princess Bride too and love it. Jealous of your Dune...been wanting that one for quite some time! Cool video!
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 And yeah, the FS Dune is gooorgeous. ♥️
Wow these books are gorgeous Matt! I’ve had the Dune edition on my list for a while, and now I’m tempted to own both of them even though I own the Ace Books editions too lol. I haven’t read the Princess Bride yet, but it’s one of my favorite movies.
You and me both mate - I’ve been looking at the Dune edition for st least a year now, and the new Messiah edition pushed me over the edge. 😆
Beautiful editions! 😍😍😍
I know, right? 😍
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YooooHOOOOO let’s goooooo
The Folio Society books are great. I bought a whole bunch of them about 20 years ago (including a beautiful complete set of Anthony Trollope). They seem recently to have concentrated on books as beautiful objects, but that are so nice I would be afraid to read them. Like the fabulous slip cases. The whole point of a slip case is to protect the book. But when the case is so nice, what are you gonna use to protect the case.
Anyway, those are some really nice books. I would be tempted to get their editions of The Book of the New Sun, but it’s so much and I would still probably just reread my trade paperback. Oh well. I think my days of getting books as furniture are over.
Yeah Duffy, I’ll admit I’ve considered buying some white archival gloves for handling these. 😆
I love FOLIO!
Folio loves YOU too! Assuming you’re sending them as much money as I am, that is. 😜
Let’s hope to get Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune! ❤
Absolutely! 😍
great video!💯
Thanks Abram. 🙂
I love these - I want the ASOIAF ones!
Ohhhh god, me too. But if I get one, I have to get them all, and... 😬
@@MattonBooks At least we know there will only be five 😔
im not into folio society i buy a book cool although i thought they had a cool cover for man in the high castle and no matter what that book wont be sold on amazon so i never buy it..just sharing hhmm books arnt cheap $135 for some illustrations in book princess bride
Yeah, not for everyone. Either way, enjoy your reading!
Remember the rule of safety. Towards your buddy not your nutty.
Funnily, it actually occurred to me as I was cutting towards myself that it was a bad idea. 😆 Luckily no Matts were harmed in the production of this video.
Goodness, I've been eyeing those Dune editions (which I pronounce in a mix of both, honestly) but never got to buy them--as expensive as gorgeous, honestly. Nevertheless, I've been guilty of staring too long (or too short and impulse-buy) at some books, ha! Sadly, I missed Folio's special edition of Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury D: I can't forgive myself missing on that one!
Yeah, this was a really poor impulse control month for me. My monthly wrap-up is going to be soooo long. 😆
📦 Now that’s a pretty s3xy unboxening! And yellow is the best colour 💛
I wouldn't paint my walls that yellow, but it looks 🔥 on Something Wicked! 😅
Why didn't you get the original Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern? ;)
I only wanted the good bits.
I've been eyeballing Folio editions for so long, especially the ones illustrated by my man Dave McKean, but I just moved so they're too far out of my budget right now
Yeah Shep, I feel ya. I wouldn't have bought them a year ago either. 😬
Have they done Children of Dune in this edition yet?
Nope, just Dune & Dune Messiah. Maybe one day…
