Two Very Special Books

The two books I wanted were sent quickly and packed with great care. I was waiting for ‘The Last Unicorn’ to come back into stock and was notified immediately. With it I bought ‘The Neverending Storey’ which were both favourites of my daughters when young and will be special Birthday presents.
Thrilled to have these two beautifully illustrated books. Customer Service were so helpful and quick to answer any questions.

Top quality products and excellent service

One of the best books in the world, of course, loved by young and old. Beautifully bound and illustrated and from experience I know there will be no typos. Immediate attention to delivery, by FedEx and Canada Post, which put my book in a locked space inside my building within a few days. That's a fast crossing of the Atlantic and a large landmass.

All good

All good, but please add express delivery options for EU. FedEx economy took almost week and a half to arrive to Austria, with one day delay.

Great website

I receive emails occasionally from the Folio Society, and when I saw their edition of The Neverending Story I couldn't resist. The website is very user friendly, with beautiful pictures of the selections currently on offer. The books were very well packed, and the delivery was quicker than I expected
