I just received this beautiful edition of Perdido Street Station from the Folio Society.
There are some dark marks on the bottom of the book from what I assume to be the printing press.
Is there any way I can safely remove these marks?
Or should I just leave them. I want to keep the book.
Been looking at Folios for a while, thinking about the “Dubious financial decision making” everyone loves to refer to, but I fell in love with this and had to get it…
Recently I got Fahrenheit 451 and The hidden life of trees, and my little box connoisseur, Bones approves.
Lovely little edition. Had never read it before and the King Crimson fan in me was very happy with the first line.
In September of 2025 I ordered a copy of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” but didn’t start reading it until today. Got to page 35 and the next few pages (including the illustrations) are upside down.
At first I thought it was intentional, the story being funny and quirky in that way, but after finding my footing and finishing out the chapter there was no explanation. Is this a printing error?
Edit: contacted customer support and they’ve priority shipped me a brand new copy free of charge! Great customer service!
Do any you think that Carmilla will ever be released?
I bought my little brother the Iliad for Christmas last year and for his birthday (his 21st!!) I wanted to get him this matching edition of the odyssey but they are no longer available! Does anyone know where I might get one? (UK)
An appreciation post: this is a beautiful book, a lovely upgrade to my old penguin version! Now I just have to learn old English.
Curious to those that have purchased. Did you purchase all five or just the first one (or two) for your collection? I am unsure what direction I am going to go in and was wanting to see what other people decided to go with.
