Quite possibly the nicest edition TFS sell at or around this price point. In terms of appearance (I'm not qualified to judge build quality), it looks better than some TFS editions I've purchased at nearly twice the price. If I have one small nitpick, it's that to me Dave McKean's illustrations here are a little too similar to many of the ones in I Am Legend, but maybe I'm just a philistine.

This is a beautiful artefact! No, it's not inexpensive, but if you want a special copy of a special book this is as good as it gets.

Pairing one of Sci fi's undisputed masterpieces with one of the world's most innovative illustrators could only produce a classic edition. This is it.

The book itself is lovely -- dramatic graphics, colored ink, fore-edge decorations, but the story was disappointing, particularly the ending: it had none. As the protagonist approached the Golden Sphere, which was reputed to grant wishes, he hollered out, "Happiness to All!" and that was the end. Did he even reach the sphere? Did it grant his wish? Did he get caught in a grinder or some other death trap? Did the authors decide at that point that they couldn't figure out how to resolve the plot and so just quit? I feel cheated and it throws a good bit of doubt in my mind about Folio Society's literary judgment.

‘Roadside Picnic’ is one of my absolute favourite stories, and here I am pleased to see that it has been given wonderful treatment. From design concept to finished product, you can tell that the text has been treated with respect and consideration. The presentation throughout is superb, and the slipcase adds to the quality. The illustrations within are really good, and capture the feel of the story perfectly. This is a fantastic version of the book, and well worth adding to your collection.
