Is Folio planning to reprint (insert title)?

I recently joined a Facebook group - Fans of the Folio Society. This is the first useful piece of information I've received from them:

"I have just spoken to a contact I have in Folio Society regarding the reprint of books. She told me that if a sold out book has an email field for notification it will be available for reprint. She has also told me ‘Rebecca’ and a number of others will be reprinted later this year."

Worthwhile keeping an eye on if you're desperate for a particular OOP Folio. Otherwise, if you're fond of gazing at endless shelfies accompanied by comments along the lines of "beautiful books", "oh, I wish I had that book" "that book looks amazing", "I'll have to buy that book now" ad infinitum, Fans of the Folio Society is for you.

It’s Fairy Book shelfie central, but sometimes there’s the odd tidbit in there.

Edited to delete my comment saying they'd be publishing the DT series, as that was incorrect. On the Twitter sub-thread where someone asked them to publish the DT, someone else also asked when the Farseer Trilogy would be published, and they said "Soon." Their actual response to the DT series was they'd pass it on.

Sorry about that.

>4 U_238: Looks like the FS also indicated they’ll be printing the Dark Tower series

Now that would be mildly interesting. Where'd you see that?

I’d buy the Dark Tower series in a heartbeat! Where did you read that?

I’ve also been looking for a copy of the newest edition of Rebecca for months, so I hope they do reprint it 🙂

Yeah I’d buy the dark tower... I wonder if it would be a big box set or the more likely drip feed one or two a year.

Someone posted a photo of a tweet asking for the DT series, and the FS account replied with something like "soon." Let me try to find it, I'd hate to be spreading something incorrect.

I edited my comment a couple replies up, sorry about that.

No worries. I'm guessing it would have attracted a lot of attention if it were true.

On the topic of folio social media comments just noticed they replied that a limited edition is going to be announced shortly. I wonder if it is the Greek themed one there was a glimpse of in the blog photos.

No worries, I hope they will do it at some point though, it’s my husband’s favourite book series so it would make an excellent present!
