New video looking at The Folio Vault in London on YouTube

Folio friends, in today's video I'm delighted to show you around the rather wonderful Folio Vault, located in London. This business specialises in selling Folio Society books and is the world's largest re-seller of these. I speak to the founder, Stafano and am then guided around the shelves by Ollie. It's a fantastic business, with quality stock, fair pricing and expert bookselling practices. Recommended.
The Folio Vault have generously offered viewers of the channel a 20% off discount code, it's JULES20 which entitles you to 20% off eBay prices, excluding bundles. Link to their eBay store below.

HC books (709 FS books in stock) and Ardis (590 FS books in stock) should also be considered to be specialist FS book resellers.

I've bought two books so far from Folio Vault and both were as described and shipped very carefully to the USA, so a thumbs up from me. I've also had positive experiences with Ardis.

>1 julesburt: Nice looking shop, but fairly anodyne. It feels like they would be equally at home selling Adidas shoes or Pokemon cards. With the considerable downturn of the secondary book market post Covid, he might want to branch out into other areas of interest to keep afloat.

The look like flippers who takes care of the customer well though, so good luck to them.

I've yet to watch the video, but I have bought from them before and communicated over the eBay shop for a specific request. Very pleased with the service.

I just watched the video and have started following them. But I’m having trouble locating their store on eBay.

>7 varielle: Folio Vault usually list books on their FaceBook account first at lower prices before they go on eBay. I've bought from them several times in the last few months and they've invariably been excellent.

They have a good stock and it's regularly refreshed but even buying direct on Facebook you're going to be paying at the top end of prices for books from them, which is fine if you don't want to wait but you will always be able find a copy cheaper elsewhere in my experience. I did buy from them early on in my collecting though and the books were as described and packed well.
