I own a few of these but most of those books aren't worth owning in any edition. I want the Dune one but I don't think they ever sold it in the UK so it's £40+. You can get second hand folio society editions for around the same price as these B&N meme editions in the UK.

Don't understand the Barnes and Noble/Canterbury Classics hate. They are the nicest editions of certain books for little money. Not everyone can buy folio society or Easton press and not everyone wants those ugly paperbacks, they want something nice. There's also everyman's library but let's be honest they aren't as striking as the faux leatherbounds. If you like everyman's library because of that then more power to you but don't shit on those that like B&N. I still think that the B&N edition of Dune is the most beautiful of them all, much better than the Folio society one. Sure the quality isn't same but the cover is infinitely superior imo.
