A while ago, I was asked if I would like to receive some titles from The Folio Society. And I said, well, yes. I’ve heard wonderful things about their books: the art, craftsmanship, quality and beauty. I could go on.
Then these arrived in the mail and I was almost too afraid to open them because they’re so damn lovely and I was afraid of marking them.

These photos don’t really do them justice – especially The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Its navy cover glimmers and sparkles.
