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?

They are hardcovers which can be hard to hold if you aren't used to that form of reading.

Just regular hard covers?

Tend to be denser than normal hardcovers due to the higher paper quality.
