The Folio Limited Edition Archive

Every Folio Limited Edition is a publishing event – carefully crafted, exquisitely illustrated and made to be loved. But once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Step inside The Folio Limited Edition Archive, where our most sought-after titles live on. These editions may now be out of stock, but their stories – and the artistry behind them – still deserve the spotlight.

Take a look around. Revisit the books that made your shelves – and the ones that got away.
