What is The Folio Society?

Almost twenty years ago, The Folio Society was founded to publish for its members finely-produced editions of important books in the literature and history of the Western World. Since then it has gained an international reputation for its pub lications, ranging from the established classics to revivals of minor master pieces which deserve to be better known.

Each book issued by the Society is individually designed—format, type and paper being carefully chosen to suit the text. The majority of the Society’s editions are illustrated— either with original work by the lead ing artists of the day or (in the case of non-fiction) by careful reproduc tion of relevant contemporary material. Varied and colourful bind ings are a feature of Folio Society books, yet these beautiful editions cost on average only $3.50 each. And in order to become a member, you need only order four books from a varied list of some eighty titles.

As a member you will receive, free of charge, the special presentation volume a new collection of Canaletto’s paintings.

If you appreciate great literature and would like to build up a library of beautiful books at very modest cost, there is no more rewarding or economical way to do it than through membership of The Folio Society.
