Pre-ordered the book back in February and it finally arrived yesterday. They had some manufacturing problems and paused production for a while until they figured everything out which was a large part of the delay. This is the "fixed" version of the book and it looks magnificent :) Look and feel is really nice, the illustrations and 2 tone printing are fantastic, and overall a very nice version of one of my favorite books! I did kind of a longer video for anyone interested looking over the book in more detail and comparing it to a Folio Society and Easton Press book, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYGkIb5r3Ok.

My only real negative of the book is in his it was packed and shipped. They placed the book in a box a good bit larger than the book itself with zero packing material so the book was able to bounce around within the box. Luckily my book arrived undamaged but I'm sure others will not be so lucky. Seems kind of lazy for a somewhat expensive book.

I dont know very much about these books other than their content.

After collecting and reading many books I finally decided to choose certain genres which actually suits me and puts my mind in peace. GOTH FICTION AND FANTASY ABOVE ALL.

I couldn’t be happier. Got a few extras so I can make sure the folds are perfect, and my BCE editions have never looked better!

I’m planning to start reading and collecting classics, and I’d love to build a good-quality hardcover collection. Which publisher/series would you recommend, especially considering translation quality, editions, cover design, and overall collectability?

I’d appreciate your suggestions!

Is it legit? Got this copy at an estate sale.

I love old Pushkin paperbacks. I’ve got to find a way to remove the library stick in the Le Clezio

I have these issues still sealed, should I leave them like this?

Id like to buy the "Inferno", but all I can find list "Cassell" solely.

My three favourite authors (Robert Harris also in photo because why not)

Also ABC Murders and Murder in Mesopotami, which I can’t seem to find

Hope this fits here! This is two weekends of book hunting. Now to tear apart my bookshelves to find space for them!

Waiting for the Galactic Bus by Parke Godwin. On my to-read list, but I’ve always loved the title and cover of this one.

From a yard sale in Portland, Or.

Got this 1st state, uncorrected proof on eBay for $12. Truly thought I might get scammed..and I was shocked when it came as described. Then, I opened it to find that it was also signed! It’s beautifully inscribed by someone as well. I know it devalues the book, but I love it. Just thought I’d share.

German editions of the first two Harry Potter books. I'm pretty sure these are 1st/1st because of the 00 but I'm not familiar with German books. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The last picture shows a famous translation error that reads Snape Exploded instead of Exploding Snap, an in-world card game.

I guess just like in Star Wars the Germans got another unintentional spoiler.

Each book was $2 form a used bookshop.
