All Folio books are illustrated with fine art reproductions, atmospheric photographs or else they carry specially commissioned pictures by contemporary masters of book illustration such as Quentin Blake, Neil Packer and Charles van Sandwyk. The Folio Society revels in variety and unless a book forms part of a set then its individuality is celebrated. The look of each book is a unique combination of fine paper, varied binding material, an interesting legible typeface, authorative introduction and imaginative illustration. Each volume is traditionally sewn in 16-page sections giving strength to the book and enabling the pages to be opened flat with ease. Instead of using dust -jackets, Folio books are protected with robust slipcases. These ward off the combined threats of dust and fading.
