folio society is so expensive but it's honestly less stressful purchasing from them directly than otherwise hunting online for an exact edition of a book in good condition
#personal#i dont want to own many books. most books in fact. i would rather not own. but my faves?!?!?!?! i want them NICE#plus when a family member is like 'what gift do you want' i can literally send them the exact link instead of doing a bunch of research#and giving a detailed list of reqs#like i want piranesi so badddd but i want#1) a clean hardcover without a stamp/logo (womens prize or botm etc) AND#2) an edition with the extra chapter (waterstones or barnes and noble)#BUT the barnes and noble exclusive extra chapter HB has an unremovable stamp. so thats out of the question#so the only version left is the waterstones exlusive w extra chapter. but all the resales of those online are signed#and therefore more expensive#and i dont want a signed copy anyway. ugggghhhhh!!!!#and even those are compromises based on what exists bc i prefer when HB covers are printed onto the book itself rather than the dust jacket#and piranesi HB afaik is only being sold w dust jacket (tho to be fair the piranesi HB art direction is beautiful)#folio made a version of JS&MN which i havent read yet and therefore wouldn't buy a folio version of (yet)#but i'm wondering if they'd do a piranesi version in like 6 years for a 10 year anniversary or smth. since they've printed clarke before#would it even be worth waiting for? just the possibility? and then u have the issue of the movie coming out in the next idk ~2-5 years ish#and god i want the film to be beautiful. but idk if i want a Film Cover Book#the balance between Waiting for the best possible version and getting it now so i dont have to deal with wanting it anymore!!!!#still on the hunt for *** ************ ** ******* ******* and *** ********* too
