P. D. James
Folio book is a unique object, one in which typography, illustration, paper, and printing and binding techniques all play a part in creating a harmonious whole. The Folio Society has celebrated the particular joy to be derived from owning, holding and reading a beautiful printed edition.
In the digital age, information is served to us instantaneously. Success is measured by speed, and we can dispose of the written word at the click of a mouse. This is why Folio books are the perfect tonic. We offer the reader an opportunity to pause and reflect; to spend time appreciating beauty and wisdom.
Our aim is to create books that are unique in their aesthetic and in their quality – this is what makes a Folio collection something to cherish.
The books we select for publication are timeless – and in the editions we produce, they will be enjoyed and valued now and in generations to come.
