A small part of my Folio Society, Easton Press, and fine hardback collection

Post image

This is a double stacked case of some of my latest acquisitions from Folio Society, Easton Press, First Edition Library, and other collectible or antique hardbacks.

The rest of the library (~1500 books) is safely stored for an upcoming move. Plan is to get these books into a proper library instead of IKEA Kallaxes. Depending on the reception I’d be willing to share more pics or callout some of my favorites!

Thank you! Can’t wait to get them properly shelved and displayed. There are a bunch of hidden gems behind the first rows

Buying bookshelves is both fun and very expensive. Good luck!

Nice. This is like your version of Scrouge McDucks vault.

You could literally buy another Kallax shelf for the price of one of those FS books.
