Folio'd Again
For years I've been fighting off the Folio Society, the Mercedes Benz of the book world. Beautiful books but all with sticker-shock prices. One time I went so far as to go with the Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire set before sending them back when the hangover came.
The wheels are turning again because my stepson's birthday is a three months away and this past weekend he said he wants to read Churchill's account of the war. But buying four more books within four weeks at $40-80 a book is rude and/or crude. Plus parting with the Churchillian volumes might not be as easy as I think.
