Looks pretty cool but I have a few issues: 1) A limited edition without any leather is somewhat of a letdown. The materials are basically a standard edition with a slightly bigger size book and a fancy box. I guess this depends on the final price but I hope it’s not over $500 all things considered. 2) The design looks awfully similar to Folio’s The Original of Totalitarianism , which comes with 2 books and is $220. 3) The Original extra patches look like a blatant copy of what Amaranthine Press just did with Catch 22. Same exact aesthetic. Folio’s limited editions keep pulling more and more away from leather bindings. It was full leather then quarter now none. I really hope this book isn’t super expensive or it’s going to be a rip off, because I do like it but the deciding factor on the purchase is definitely going to be the price. I hope they don’t try and gouge knowings it’s a popular book.

Make a list of a dozen or so illustrations you might expect to see such an edition of TBotNS. Triskele, the Citadel & Matachin Tower, Gyoll, Nessus and its wall, Dr. Talos, Baldanders, the play, the duel with the avern flowers, the stories from the brown book, two-headed Typhon, the castle at Lake Diuturna, the war with the Ascians, none of these are represented in this edition. The illustrations do not reflect the text, either aesthetically or in the particulars of the significant people, places, things, and events of the story. What a missed opportunity.

I bought this and must critique the very bad TIMELY Captain America 1 comic book replica facsimile? Why is it sized so small width and especially height wise?? An original cover measures 8 5/8" width x 10 1/2" height. The Folio replica facsimile measures: 7" width x 9 1/2". Why not near the original Golden Age size or close to that vs this odd size?? Would have been better to use newsprint paper vs this waxy paper stock. Not worth the monies IMHO. Don't care for the hardcover book as am mainly after the comic to be held and read.

Why is it three volumes for one novel?
@mumei1782 ай бұрын
The novel is originally divided internally into three volumes (Mr Norrell, Jonathan Strange, and John Uskglass). There was actually a slipcase collectors edition for the paperback release back in 2005 that had separate books for each volume, one black, one white, and one red. As for why they did it here, someone from FS explained it in an interview with Collectible Book Vault: "When the hefty 1024-page paperback arrived in the office, we firstly considered using a larger format and thinner paper than usual, to ensure the maximum number of words per page and to prevent a book that might be extremely heavy and potentially detract from an enjoyable reading experience. We then considered a two-book set to overcome these issues, but a novel that is composed of three volumes doesn’t lend itself very well to splitting in half and each book, if the text was split equally, would still be over 500 pages in length. The final decision was to take a much more sympathetic approach to the text and create a three-volume set." Hope that helps

This illustrator seems nice enough but JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL is a book authored by an Englishwoman and mostly based in England. I'm not so sure that an ageing hippy in West Virginia, drawing pictures in between smoking Jimson Weed and licking the bellies of the local hallucinogenic toads is appropriate. Has Charles Vess ever even visited York? It's not possible to 'know' the place without actually spending time physically walking the streets. York Minster cannot be understood from pictures and films. It is so much more than any one dimensional images could ever impart - even if you are tripping balls.
