Thank you for saying so, Neil. You’re going to love the Virgina Edition!

Delivery was surprisingly prompt and the unboxing was just about as you indicated here. The books look wonderful; on my shelves. I wish I could add a photo but they are between a shelf with an Oxford Collected Mark Twain and one with the latest Folio Society’s leather-bound Charles Dickens. I hope RAH would approve of the placement!

The only thing I would add to your review is that the books actually look and feel better than they photograph! The leather binding is very nicely done and makes each book a joy to hold and read. The gilt spines and the little icons on the covers are very nice touches. The ribbon markers are high quality and I don’t think they will split and unravel with usage as I have seen happen with less sturdy fabrics.

Well, I still have 43 volumes to read, thanks again!

(By the way are there any active Forums these days where I might find others who have bought or are interested in this edition? The Nexus Forum seems a bit empty…)
