Unboxing Books - Folio Society Summer 2020 Sale

Hi everyone, how are you today? In this video, I will be unboxing some books from the Folio Society. Folio Society is a company in Britain that publishes collectible hardcover books. I've ordered from them a few times before but I always wait till they have a sale. And this summer they had a sale. So I thought I would support Folio Society and pick up a couple of books one for myself and one for my brother. And I've never done one of these kind of videos before so we'll see how it goes. Yeah, I've got the the baby scissors here. Yeah, and they're using paper for their packing. I really like that. I hate throwing only plastic. You can actually take plastic packing to the grocery store for recycling. But this is even better, I think. All right, so yeah, ordered two books that were on sale. I'll start with this one. This is Strangers on a Train. This was my brother's choice. We watched the Alfred Hitchcock film a few years ago now and we loved it. So I think we're both going to read this at some point. And thanks to my brother for letting me open this because I love opening stuff and it makes for a cool video. So all the folio books I've ever ordered come in these really nice slip cases. And folio books are always featuring. So this looks like it has some interesting illustrations. It has a nice smell too. I wish you guys could smell it. yeah, okay, that's going to be really cool. I won't touch this anymore. I'll put it away. Try to keep it pristine. And then the book I ordered is, I'll probably be sharing, this is Aesop's Fables. And I think it's a reproduction copy of an early 1900s edition. Let's see if I can get it out of here without a disaster. This is so embarrassing. Okay. Yeah, The Fables of Aesop. This edition was first published in 1909. So it's got that wonderful typography. I think this is the complete fables. They're pretty short, most of them. Oh, the font's really nice too. This is something a kid could easily read. I have only read a few Aesop's Fables in the past, so I'm excited actually to read this, maybe on a slower pace. If you want a day or something like that. So I I'm really happy with this. I'm not gonna go through the whole book right now. That might be another video, but yeah. I love this cover. I love that golden yellow with the 1909 design, so. That's The Fables of Aesop and Strangers on a Train. Folio tends to have sales in the summer and also around New Year's, and I'm not sure if they have a Black Friday sale. But those are the times I usually watch their website. So another thing that's cool is if you subscribe to Folio, they will send you the catalog every quarter or so, and it's just fun to look through. I mean, you can go on their website as well. That's all I had for this video. Thanks for watching. And I'll see you in the next one.
