Folio Society
The Folio Society is an independent, London-based publisher founded in 1947 by Charles Ede. It specializes in producing beautifully crafted, illustrated hardcover editions of classic and modern literature, non-fiction, poetry, and children’s books. These are high-quality, collectible volumes often featuring original artwork, fine bindings, slipcases, and premium materials—designed to make reading a luxurious, tactile experience.
The company has been going strong for nearly 80 years (now employee-owned) and remains popular among book lovers for its emphasis on design, illustration, and durability. Their editions turn beloved stories into works of art, from timeless classics like The Hobbit, Jurassic Park, Pride and Prejudice, and The Great Gatsby to more recent or genre-spanning titles.
