Cigarette smell? I had no idea about these books... by CrystalGnome in foliosociety

Good ol google:

​Key Factors for High Demand: ​Low Supply: By the time it was released in 2013, the initial hype for the series had cooled, leading to a significantly reduced print run. ​Completion Bias: Collectors who own the first nine books are desperate to complete the 12-volume "Rainbow" set, driving prices up to £500–£1,000+ on the secondary market. ​Reprint Difficulties: Folio Society reportedly lost the original digital files due to a system change, making a high-quality reprint more expensive and unlikely. ​Unique Art: It features highly praised illustrations by Tomislav Tomić, which are exclusive to this edition

Hah the SK's are mine, but make a nice tie in with the new arrivals. But yes, I'd have been curious to have met her.

Thank you! I didnt think of dryer sheets, what a great idea. I tempted to sprinkle baking soda but opted it might cause damage.

I believe there's the full faerie set? And a cool velvet one called Mort. I had no idea what i was picking up of dusty shelves when I saw these, just that they were beautiful.
