Are Folio Society books worth the price? (lemmy.world)

I really love beautiful books and collecting them. I have a few of those classic hard bound books from Barnes & Noble and some of the imitation leathers from Discount Books, but I see the Folio Society and am shocked at the price.

But I hear the quality is great.

I’m considering purchasing Rendezvous with Rama. The art looks beautiful and the story sounds super intriguing, but it’s $100…

Are they worth the price?

Have you ever purchased one and thought it was a waste?

Have you already read all of these stories before purchasing the Folio version? They look gorgeous

American Gods is the only one I went into blind, but I've read a lot of Neil Gaiman and am very familiar with Dave McKean.

Everything else I was well familiar with.
