New Releases 2025

FS have a Facebook post up with a picture hinting at a release next year. Looks like The Great Gatsby to me. Possibly an LE.

It’s The Great Gatbsy for sure, the description also fits the book.

It also seems like a cropped photo of the leather binding, so it being an LE is a good guess.

>2 Nerevarine: It's the 100 year anniversary so it makes sense. They usually release a new LE around the end of January/start of February so this could be it.

Just what we need - another Folio edition of Gatsby. There are other books you haven't printed yet, guys...

Other books it could be with that cover and description (but isn't):

- The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard
- Don't Look Now by Daphne du Maurier
- The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft
- Là-Bas by Joris-Karl Huysmans

>4 folio_books: While I entirely agree with your opinion, it does make sense to release a centennial edition of this book.

However it doesn’t matter to me, as I’m not a fan of The Great Gatsby and would never consider a buy.

Luckily I have the half-leather Thornwillow edition of The Great Gatsby, so my wallet is safe…

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Clearly, it's Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey.

>9 HonorWulf: Well alright, alright, alright...

Year Round Things to Do After Dark, in a limited edition of just 12,500.

>11 boldface: With a limited number of volumes with tipped in signatures from randomly selected Folio employees for an extra modest £600, restricted to the first 12,500 orders.

Looks better than the LE!

"Core" edition. What has happened to our standards?

>14 wcarter: Agreed

>15 Chemren:

Sounds too basic, I guess.

>14 wcarter: I also quite like the look of it. It reminds me a little of the Shadow of the Wind SE which I also like the look of.

>13 assemblyman: hopefully cloth/buckram-bound

>19 drizzled: Hopefully.

FS have an email out with a release time of March for The Book Thief.

>19 drizzled: Possible I would think - it seems to be closely following the path of the Zafon SE

Looks like the SE is bound in textured paper.

>22 BooksFriendsNotFood: Well spotted. Thats disappointing.

>22 BooksFriendsNotFood: SE? This is the CE.

>22 BooksFriendsNotFood: And £90 ROW, not the £105 of the SE The Shadow of the Wind.

Perhaps £80 UK?

Edit: I say! Did anyone notice the sizes are different too:

LE: 10˝ x 6 ¾˝
SE: 9 ½˝ x 6 ¾˝

Would it be likely the SE will also do away with the blue printed text?

And January 28th for Fire and Blood, just featured in a Folio email:

>26 FitzJames: Finally! Looks like this one is being released just ahead of the Spring collection. Pricing is in the search results: £110.00 / $150.00.

>27 HonorWulf: ROW: £125

>26 FitzJames: It’s a definitive buy for me, to go along with ASOIF series.

But I’m a bit let down with the number of illustrations : only 5 for a 600+pages book.

>8 Cardboard_killer: "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"

Yes, the Global Warming Edition!

>29 Nerevarine: That's a bummer... At least, they decreased the price..

>29 Nerevarine:

The illustrations looks great, but that's a disappointing number.

I thought about getting it, since I loved ASOIAF (the books), but I read really bad reviews. Has anyone read Fire and Blood?

>33 RRCBS: I have and enjoyed it. It’s not the same as reading ASOIAF as it’s set up as a written history which I found a nice change to the main story. I read it on release but haven’t reread it but from memory I found it very enjoyable.

Pictures of the present series and the new Fire and Blood.

Part of me is a little bit glad Fire & Blood doesn't quite match the rest of the series (at least to my eyes; the color variation is pretty pronounced to me); it means I remain perfectly content with my Subterranean Press edition. :)

I said I'm perfectly content. Absolutely fine, no FOMO here.

Definitely don't need another edition of the same book. That would be wasteful and take up precious shelf space.

I will keep repeating this until I believe it. :)

>36 emarshal:

Don't I know that problem, albeit it for other editions. LOL

re: Fire and Blood

I've been trying to get through this on a Kindle for quite some time...it's a bit a of a slog, so I'm quite content not to own a physical copy.
