How Membership Works

The Folio Society membership year runs from September 1 to August 31. As a member of The Folio Society, you are asked to buy 4 books within 4 weeks.

There is never any obligation to respond to any of our offers, but obviously if you stop buying books from us, your membership will lapse.

There are no fees to pay – in fact you will usually be offered a free gift to continue your membership. The terms of each offer we send are explained in the offer and all we ask is that you fulfill those terms.

The Folio Society depends entirely on the support of its members and we have found that asking members to buy 4 books a year is the best way for us to be able to produce our high quality books at affordable prices.

If you continue your membership, you will receive details of new titles as they become available throughout the year, often at special introductory discounts. There are also seasonal sales with even bigger member savings. You’ll also receive the folio Magazine, published twice a year, which brings you specially commissioned articles by noted writers.

On our website you’ll find an even wider range of books, a Folio News page plus a monthly quiz with great prizes to be won. You can also sign up to receive our monthly Newsletter with previews of forthcoming Folio publications and features about authors, illustrators and events.
