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?

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