Unlike the Folio society it is hard to buy the books you want without joining a book a month club. That is why I started using Ebay to purchase my Easton Press and Folio Society books. They are at reduced prices and while they may be extravagent they don't lose their value unless damaged making them good investments.

All in excellent condition, most never opened, many still in shrink wrap. If anyone is interested I wish to sell the collection as a whole.

Dont have to pay postage or have to trail to the sorting office if I miss the post. I can get the books cheaper as well.

I've joined several times! The books look great on their own shelves, especially the sets---Dickens, e.g. I periodically quit because I get behind in my reading, or because I say, "I paid $200 for these ?". but join again later on, seduced by a particularly good free offer. It's both a visual and tactile treat. No, it’s not extravagant. I’ve joined several times!
