Folio Society’s edition of ‘Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell’ is the best-edited version of the novel available. Whereas Bloomsbury’s 20th Anniversary edition fixed none of the errors in the 2004 text, the F.S. version shows actual editor attention. By my count, about half of the egregious errors have been addressed—not a great ratio, but the best that can be found. The use of Bell to set the text is no more or less appropriate than the use of Baskerville for the Bloomsbury printings, but the correct implementation of ligatures means that the F.S. version is superior on the typographic front too. The only great deficit in the type selection is that Bell scales down poorly, so the novel’s many lengthy footnotes are visually anemic and less fun to read than they could have been. Given the complexity of the text, I would have favored the inclusion of running heads for ease of navigation, but they are absent in all editions.

I hesitated buying this set because of the cost. Now that I have it at home, I see it is worth every cent. This is a gorgeous folio of a fantastic book.

Not worth the money

I've been a purchaser of Folio books for more than 30 years. Such a lengthy commitment by a customer fairly shouts satisfaction and contentment. I've purchased many of their books, but the Folio Society printing of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell has provided me with more than the usual happiness. Presented over three separate volumes, beautifully illustrated and printed, aesthetically exemplary, it is everything I expect from Folio. Of course, the transaction itself unfolded with consummate professionalism. The book arrived quickly, lovingly wrapped with great care. Folio has never disappointed me, and that is a rarity indeed.

The volumes were crafted beautifully true to the book makers art themes of the story are reflected in the design of the set of books

Fantastic book (which I knew already); amazing illos. Docked a star for a) no built in bookmarks (a pity at this price in a set of books in a tight slip-case) and b) an ink blemish on one page (see picture) with some bleed-through on the next. With the bookmarks I'd have given it five stars...
