FSD Gathering in Brisbane

The annual Brisbane gathering of Folio Society Devotees will take place on the morning of Sunday 17 November this year.
If you are interested in attending please send me a PM.

Looking forward to it for the books, the blether, and the company.

Thanks Warwick for arranging the gathering of the antipodeans once more.
As always, you can't visit Warwick without him stuffing Folio society books in your pocket on the way out.
Nice to blether with Shaliza and Keith again too.
Till the next time.

Wow, some nice books on that table! Let me know when you guys come united stateside :)

>4 wcarter: Nice photos! I spy several LECs, CTPs, FS LEs, Amaranthine, Books Illustrated etc.. even an FPFE! I would've lost myself like a child in an amusement park and refused to leave!

>6 mr.philistine: Haha, same! So many gems! It's a pity I live so far away!

>4 wcarter: Yowza!

What is the red envelope-looking volume between Dune and Neuromancer? That's a handsome case.

>8 PartTimeBookAddict:
Bhagavad Gita by LEC. See https://www.librarything.com/topic/360823

>9 wcarter: Thanks for sharing, Warwick. I hope you had great time

>9 wcarter: Thank you. Very nice.

>3 LesMiserables: >4 wcarter: Looks and sounds like a ton of fun. Thank you for sharing pictures!

>6 mr.philistine: And an Extraordinary Edition too (Ebenezer Le Page)! So many dashed fine books.

That's a really fine collection on the table. And these meetings are a lovely idea.

>3 LesMiserables: As always, you can't visit Warwick without him stuffing Folio society books in your pocket on the way out.
Has Warwick noticed that each year you show up wearing a jacket with bigger pockets?

To hazard a guess it's a curated selection of acquisitions since the last gathering. It's a trifle difficult to not wish at least one of those books was in one's collection.

>15 Pendrainllwyn: This is quite true, though largely through a burgeoning waistline than any skulduggery on my part.

Yes, the selection Warwick has on show included many of his latest hauls.

I cannot recognise the big book with the Union Jack in its cover between "La Divina Commedia" and "Peter Pan" in the second pic. Any help?

>17 tkellici:
"Her Majesty", Taschen limited edition on the life of Queen Elizabeth II.

>18 wcarter: Thank you, sir. And I was wondering why there wasn't any Taschen edition on the table :).

>19 tkellici: It's a very nice publication. I had a good flick through it. Best boss I had.
