But that is more a result of a virtually unmodified Heaney textblock and credit I suppose goes to Heaney and his original publisher than to FS. It is special in that so few (really, can't even name the others, can you?) of FS editions that include paralinear texts with both original and translation languages. If you can afford them it's worth waiting till one of their sales hit and it'll have a decent price reduction for all three.Īgreed with the 2010 Beowulf, one of the ones that got away for me. If you're into more traditional fine press productions their limited edition War Poets collection hold pretty true to the fine press tradition, it's a high limitation so far from being sold out. Unfortunately it's long since sold out, but they have a smaller standard edition now available with the exact same artwork. Of their limited editions, Alice in Wonderland is without doubt one of their finest ever productions, which also justly won the 2016 British Book Design and Production Award. It's one I definitely think is worth scouring the web for, it pops up now and then on the second hand market as it's long since sold out. In terms of my personal favourites based on the binding probably the best volume they've produced from their non-limited range is the 2010 edition of Beowulf (2010 images further down in the post).
There might be some titles that are now out of print that may appeal to you more which are likely available on the second hand market.
This is a very useful resource in identifying every title they have published to date. It's a bit difficult to recommend anything without knowing what exactly you're looking for, purely for the beauty or particular titles/genres? I would recommend before you go on a spending splurge to delve into their back catalogue of out of print stuff.
