The Complete List of Folio Society book PICTURES

Over the last year or so I have been modifying the Complete List of Folio Society Books wiki so that there is a link to a picture and/or brochure about each of the 2600+ books in the list. Nearly 300 also have a link to a pictorial review of the book.

This task is now 99% complete, and only a few rare or unusual book entries are now lacking a picture or brochure. If anyone has pictures for these entries, please let me know.

The list can be seen here.

Amazing job Warwick. I have Salambo ( 1950) in glassine jacket & Reign of Nero (1952) if you are lacking pictures of these.

>2 SimB:
Yes please. Can you post them here or send me a PM.

>3 wcarter:
Sent an email

What an extraordinary resource. Thank you for the time and effort that's been put into it.

I've sent you one of the missing pictures, Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel, via PM.

Thank you, Warwick.

That’s incredible, Warwick!

Curious: has FS ever been in touch with you (leadership / head office)? Featured you / this group in their magazine, perhaps?

>7 Jeremy53:
I know FS is aware of and monitors FSD, but has never acknowledged this. I have never been contacted by them about the list or FSD.

I think the pictures link for the 1999 Middlemarch is pointing to an older edition. But what the link lacks in accuracy it makes up for in charity. Yama - Hama!

An amazing resource for all of us to use.
Thank you Warwick, for this splendid work that you have done.

>9 cpg:
I actually own this edition and the title page states 1994, but the colophon states that it is a 1999 reprint.

>11 wcarter:

The edition I'm referring to is the one described thusly under 1999:

Middlemarch - A Study of Provincial Life by George Eliot. Single volume edition from Complete Novels of George Eliot set. Introduced by Penelope Fitzgerald. 24 engravings by Simon Brett. Bound in dark blue cloth blocked with a gilt design. 758pp. Pictures

When I click on Pictures, it takes me to a page that describes an edition this way:

Introduction by Kingsley Hart. 28 Integrated drawings by Robin Jacques. . . .

These descriptions are inconsistent.

>12 cpg:
My apologies, you are quite correct and the picture has been amended.

>1 wcarter:

Indispensable resource and reference for all FSDs. Your hard work and dedication will never be appreciated enough!

Just to echo everyone else, what a herculean effort, and so useful for all of us. Magnificent!

>1 wcarter: Wonderful work, thank you Warwick. May the goddesses provide you free Folio shipping to Australia for at least a year :)

>16 cronshaw:
If only!!!!!

>1 wcarter: What an amazing resource. Thank you for all your work!

I join in the thanks - great job!

I’m sure this will be an invaluable resource for many years to come thank you for all of the effort put into its creation.

Thank you for your efforts for the FSD community. Amazing resource. I know I’ve discovered many treasures via the complete list.

To echo others, many thanks for this wonderful resource. Thank you!

Just want to add to the acclamation and thanks - this is such an invaluable resource.

A BIG thank you from me too for all the time and effort you’re putting into this!

This is incredible, Warwick. Thank you for creating something so wonderful.

An amazing resource .. love it and thank you.

The icing on the cake. Generations of FSDs yet unborn will thank you, as do I.

Excellent, this is supremely useful. Now I just need to train a computer vision algorithm on the list and I can win all future monthly cover quizzes!

This is so good! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.

I'll add my thanks to the rest. I doubt many (if any) other groups on LT have such dedicated members providing such excellent resources.

This will also make the book cover quizzes much easier.

Thank you all for your kind words, and thank you to those who have sent me personal messages with some of the missing book pictures.

I have now scoured the list to find what is missing. Most are very rare and unusual pieces, but some are just difficult to find.

If anyone has pictures of any of the items on the list below, please send me a personal message (click on my name at the top of this post).
